Donald has had SEVEN conversations with Vladimir Putin over the last few months.
Hmmm ok, that’s interesting.
How many conversations has Donald had with Angela Merkel of Germany in that time?
Boris Johnson of Britain?
Emmanuel Macron of France?
Shinzo Abe of Japan?
(Our allies, for whom our young troops are putting their lives on the line.)
Would it really be too much to ask the White House press corps to have even the slightest precision, originality, or creativity in their questioning?
Please share widely!
Of course, he’s also withdrawing troops from Germany, which only Putin wants.
Finally, by withdrawing troops, Trump has actually done something concrete which benefits Russia, (although drawing down NATO troops is an idea that has been floating around at least since I heard Barney Frank advocate cutting troops back in the ’80’s or thereabouts).
As far as talking to Putin is concerned, I just have to laugh. “The Russians are evil, they’re dangerous, they have nuclear weapons, FOR GOD’S SAKE, WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T TALK TO THEM!”.
This is a president that literally every day does something impeachable. Lately he advocated for the death panels that Sarah Palin fantasized about. Remember the “black helicopters” that Obama supposedly was deploying to round up dissidents? Trump is doing exactly that, except without the helicopters.
But who cares? TRUMP HAS BEEN TALKING TO PUTIN! Like Gresham’s law, the bad conspiracy theory pushes out any analysis of facts.
