The entire deep state, mainstream media and establishment political figures have piled on President Donald Trump for meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin this morning. These interests felt that Trump should have eschewed diplomacy and instead rattled sabers against the Russian leader, but Trump's extending of the olive branch to Putin has earned him the praise of peace-loving former Texas Congressman Ron Paul.

Paul, a frequent critic of the US foreign policy status quo, appeared on a broadcast of his Liberty Report today to express praise toward Trump for how he is pursuing diplomacy with Putin. Paul has been called a Russian agent in the past because he called for opening up relations with the Russians and applauds Trump's bravery in standing up against the military-industrial complex.
