Politics donald trump Russia Ukraine
Donald Trump totally bought Putin’s claim that Ukraine targeted his residence with drones and we’ve never seen him this sympathetic
It’s hard to parse the most troubling aspect of this latest quote from Donald Trump.
For starters, he reveals that he’s taking phone calls directly from Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin, and putting more stock into those conversations than those that he’s having with his own intelligence community.
The fact that he’s “very angry” about an attack on Putin’s home, if there ever was one, also shows that he has finally taken note of the unnecessary violence unleashed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Unfortunately, it’s in sympathy with the Russian millionaire dictator and not the 100s of thousands of innocent lives that have been destroyed across Ukrainian land.

Trump will always side with his rich buddies. And Trump’s rich buddies will continue to play him for their own benefits for as long as he believes them.
And while Trump thinks Putin is his good pal, everyone on Twitter can see this relationship for what it is.
1.
Putin pedaled the latest misinformation to Donald directly who can’t keep his mouth shut.
Donald assumes it’s true? What an imbecile.
He’ll believe Putin over Zelensky just like he believed Putin over U.S. intelligence.

The Russians have tried to assassinate Zelensky numerous times, never seemed to bother Trump. https://t.co/K8dItMlYFS

Wouldn’t the president of the United States have access to classified intel to verify that an attack on Putin’s residence had taken place? https://t.co/Qk9v1pCPrU

As in Helsinki in 2018, Trump believes Putin’s lies over U.S. intelligence briefings.
Trump is a Russian asset and a traitor. https://t.co/y5UkR24t5B

This is a constructed narrative for an audience of one.
Putin wants Trump to get pissed at Zelensky.
Russia and their agents have made dozens of attempts on Zelensky’s life since Russia invaded, which never angered Trump.

Let’s not kid ourselves, here. Our president is not only in Putin’s pocket, he admires him. Let that sink in. https://t.co/wNROVJBu3V
