Puppetmaster

Right out of the gate at the NATO summit, Trump was working hard to get on everyone’s bad side. If he’s made it his mission to alienate the US from it’s allies, then he is nailing it, and nailing with style. It’s like he’s not off Air Force One 10 minutes and he’s heckling Angela Merkel with accusations that should have made her laugh in his face. Trump essentially accused Germany of being in Russia’s pocket, being under their control, being maneuvered like a puppet and…How could he say any of that with a straight face? Besides bending over backwards to constantly defend Vladimir Putin, his open admiration has caused him to act worryingly sycophantic. Hell, just days ago, he said he was more excited to hang with Putin than those grumps at NATO. So for Trump to suggest that anyone is Putin’s puppet…well I feel like I throw the term “pot calling the kettle black” around a lot these days.
