Donald J. Trump has committed many politically unforgivable sins since riding down the Trump Tower escalator in July 2015 to announce his 2016 presidential campaign.
They are too numerous to mention here, but the last straw occurred just the other day and that’s the one on which I want to shed a bit of light.
It is the abject reversal of support for a wartime president and an allied nation that is fighting to preserve its democratic state against an invading army from Russia. Yes, it’s Ukraine.
Trump’s staged berating of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not come as a surprise. After all, Trump has been telegraphing his infatuation with Russian goon/thug/despot Vladimir Putin since he was elected to his first term as POTUS in 2016.
What was astounding, though, is doing so in the Oval Office, in front of the media and the public, berating Zelenskyy for not possesing a “winning hand” against the Russians. He hurled insults at a man who’s conducting a war against an illegal invader … at considerable risk of personal harm.
Stunning as it was to watch, we should remember that Trump is doing what he suggested he would do were he elected in 2024. He all but admitted his intention to turn the country’s back on Ukraine and sidle up to Putin.
The reasons escape me, given that Russia is now a third-rate conventional military power and a fourth- or fifth-rate economic power with an economy that is roughly the size of Italy’s.
The dipsh** in chief, though, loves dictators. He adheres to strongman tactics, even though in reality he is weak and cowardly.
Donald Trump has essentially thrown into the crapper this nation’s 80-year-old alliance with NATO, formed after World War II to serve as a hedge against Soviet aggression. The Soviet Union is gone, but Russia remains … and the Russians are now seeking to advance into a neighboring sovereign nation.
And all this is with Donald Trump’s blessing! Absolutely despicable — and unforgivable.
Asking NATO to pay their fair share is turning our back on them? Bullshit! We finally have a president that doesn’t cower to other countries. We finally have a president that doesn’t apologize to other countries. We finally have a president that believes in the USA!
Trump doesn’t favor Russia! That’s just plain ignorance to think that. He’s in favor of stopping young people dying in the war.
Zelensky came to the White House and tried to push his own agenda on Trump instead of a leader looking to get out from under a war that is extremely dangerous for his country. Zelensky started his bullshit before Trump and Vance put him in his place. Zelensky is now ready to sign the minerals deal which will save his country AND allow the USA to recoup some of the billions we’ve spent. What has NATO spent in comparison? Yeah, very little. Once we have civilians in Ukraine, Putin will not continue the push into Ukraine for fear of retaliation from Trump.
Your hate for Trump continues to blind you. If you’d been at his speech last week, you’d probably sat on your hands just like your so called leaders of the party and lot celebrate a 13 year old battling cancer, a young man getting into West Point, the family of Laken Riley or the others who have suffered from illegal immigrants. When CNN and MSNBC chastise the democrats, they are in deep trouble. It’s hilarious to watch your party go down in flames simply because of their hate for Trump. If they didn’t have their hate for Trump, they wouldn’t have anything to campaign on.
I really expected you to write an article criticizing your party for the way they acted during Trump’s speech. I guess you must approve of their behavior. You’re part of the 20% that approved of their behavior.
