At a certain point, it stopped being surprising that Donald Trump would take Vladimir Putin’s side in regards to…well anything really. He has made it perfectly clear that he admires the man, and that he’ll take the man’s word over his own intelligence networks. But now Trump is at the point where he’s parroting the man’s talking points in his own interviews. When Trump starts acting as a surrogate or representative of the Putin Regime…I mean seriously, where are we then? When does it stop being a joke that Putin is really leading the country?
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.
