Donald Trump may have committed the ultimate faux-pas for his fanbase, when he met up with Russia president Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, Finland earlier this week. 

Only days after US intelligence clearly concluded to Russian meddling in the 2016 election campaign, Trump gave in to Putin, ultimately choosing his budding friendship and alliance with the questionnable leader, over the States's historical alignment and domestic support. Thus creating unprecedented backlash back home.

Will his back pedalling be enough to convince his supporters he cares?
