The question is obvious:
"If Trump was trying to undermine America and our allies, and to help Russia, what would he be doing differently?"
He could undermine America by ripping out it's industrial base that employs most of the middle class...wait...that was already done.
He could undermine our allies by working with the elites in those societies to work against economic gains for long standing citizens by tanking brexit and the like.
He could help Russia by giving them control over 20% of our uranium....oops..already done.
Not quite done, yet, but Trump's working on it:
Trump’s Tariffs Are Pushing American Companies to Leave
Harley-Davidson’s motto is “All for freedom. Freedom for all.” Today, however, the freedom to trade in America is deteriorating—and because of that, the iconic motorcycle manufacturer will be moving some of its production overseas.
The United States imposed tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum in March. On June 1, America’s closest trading partners, including the European Union, became subject to the tariffs after President Donald Trump ended their exemption.
Now, the EU is retaliating by imposing tariffs on imports from the U.S., and Harley-Davidson is one of the unfortunate victims. Tariffs on its products are increasing from 6 percent to 31 percent. Harley-Davidson expects that this will increase the cost of a motorcycle exported from the U.S. to the EU by more than $2,000, resulting in annual additional costs of $90 million to $100 million.
When tariffs are imposed, companies affected, like Harley-Davidson, need to balance these extra costs to stay in business. The options are painful, but could include laying off workers, increasing prices, or delaying expansions.
In the case of Harley-Davidson, the company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to announce its plan to “shift production of motorcycles for EU destinations from the U.S. to its international facilities to avoid the tariff burden.”
In response to Harley-Davidson’s announcement, House Speaker Paul Ryan said, “This is further proof of the harm from unilateral tariffs. The best way to help American workers, consumers, and manufacturers is to open new markets for them, not to raise barriers to our own market.”
Unfortunately, Harley-Davidson will not be the only company in America forced to make this tough choice.
While some companies may not decide to shift production overseas, the other options they have to deal with—laying off workers, increasing prices, or delaying expansions—are all bad for American workers and families. The end result of increased tariffs will be a combination of qualified workers not getting hired, other workers losing their jobs, and families paying higher prices.

He got that already...
Brexit vote impact felt throughout UK economy
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain was the weakest Group of Seven economy over the course of 2017 in terms of overall growth, and there are other ways that the vote to leave the European Union has left its mark too.

Uranium oversupply to persist
Uranium miners will have to wait several more years before a price recovery takes hold, according to the latest forecasts from the World Nuclear Association.

But of course, they don't control it 20% of our uranium. One company now owns 20% of known deposits, but they have to mine it and get permission to ship it out of the United States. And there's a glut on the market.
Yep.

Not everyone on the right are wearing blinders. Some understand that Rusia is not now and has never been our friend.

or was it? :think:
Regardless of whether one voted for or supported him, Obama represented the type of character and decency that America can be proud of.
The problem is ... Gowdy speaks out of both sides of his mouth. When the person isn't from his own party, he attacks like a rabid dog. Yet with such a serious threat to our democracy, he says much less and does nothing. We need more John McCains.

Are you denying Russia now has %20 control of our uranium stock and that the Obama administration was responsible for it?

Russia (Putin) would never support Obama or most of the past Presidents because they advocate for human rights and democracy.
