Putin And Trump May 19, 2023 Trump famously called Putin a ‘genius’ and ‘savvy’ for his Ukraine invasion . . . famously sided with Putin over the FBI . . . famously changed just one thing in the Republican platform, its support for Ukraine . . . famously held back Congressionally mandated aid to get Zelensky to manufacture dirt on Biden (“I just need you to find 11,780” — oh, wait, wrong perfect phone call) . . . and famously thrice refused in last week’s interview to take Ukraine’s side over Russia. Yet: (1) [Sarcasm ON] any suggestion Trump and Putin are linked is a hoax; and (2) [Sarcasm OFF] Ukraine is cleaning Putin’s clock (“I’ve Never Seen The Kremlin So Rattled”). An encouraging read for anyone who values democracy and/or deplores war crimes and the slaughter of innocent people. Have a great weekend.
