Trump Diverts Attention from Mistakes -- It certainly is Trump being Art of the Deal Trump: lying, reneging, defrauding, and depending on the work of others to divert attention from his own mistakes. Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries are all the more valuable now, since their success will hurt the amoral crowd trying to profit off Trump's lack of decency. –Hugh Hansen/Contributing Pundit
Trump’s Pro-Russia Agenda -- This is the world we live in. Black is white. Up is down. Enemies are friends. Evil is good. Treason is patriotism. Corruption is valiant. Russia is our friend. Ukraine, the country being attacked, is the aggressor.
The kompromat must be much worse than a simple pee tape.
Trump's Russia agenda has been going on since he entered politics and more likely since the 1980s. Paul Manafort served as Trump's campaign manager for the 2016 election while doing Russia's bidding with regard to Ukraine. The Mueller Report showed Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, but the traitorous Attorney General Bill Barr buried it.
Then February 28, 2025 became one of the darkest days in American political history when Trump, J.D. Vance, and Marco Rubio bullied Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the White House in front of TV cameras. There has been no such bullying of the man who started this war, Russian President Vladimir Putin. In fact, there has only been negotiations on behalf of Russia rather than for Ukraine from this White House.
Now Trump is lifting sanctions on Russian oil purportedly to alleviate a diesel price spike he started with his impetuous, ill-conceived, and ill-informed decision to go to war with Iran. As Russia helps Iran with intelligence on US positions in the Middle East, Trump hands Russia an economic gift. Help kill our soldiers and destroy our bases? Very good. Here's millions of dollars.
Trump is a madman with a pro-Russia agenda. He also just so happens to be the most powerful man in the world. He could be reined in by Congress, but the Republicans in this Congress will go down in history is the biggest group of supplicants, yes-men, and spineless fools in American history.
Vote Democrat in the midterms to at least put a check on the damage this man is doing. The sad thing is his backing of Russia is only a small part of his path of destruction. –K.E. Bell/Contributing Pundit
