Trump is acting like Putin?

Is Trump acting out as if he is power ego trip leader like his wink wink buddy Putin? Absolutely, the answer is simply YES!

The man see what Putin started in Ukraine and he figures that he simply has the same mindset and power that Putin has.

There is a few blaring problems with that notion. One, he doesn’t have the power assigned by the constitution, the laws and moreover the majority support, but he doesn’t care about any of them.

Two, Putin can focus on one thing at hand, but Trump can’t stay focused for one second.

Finally, Putin is is a master mind of sorts in an otherwise evil way, but Trump is a moron who thinks is an expert on everything, yet he’s a vile corrupt old man who has the audacity to say he is the best president ever.

If we are to believe what we are hearing that Russia and maybe China are helping Iran with tactical intelligence, which is what is being reported? That can’t be good for Trump, but extremely dangerous for this country?

Given that Trump has pissed off our Allies? Trump has put us into chaos position. No one there to help us.

This is not just a few day conflict, as Trump and minions are saying? This going to outright blow up into a full scale war before we know it, which is very much so now.

This is the result of the betrayal he promised he would never put us into war. I, like so many others of you, knew that he was lying. He lies about anything and everything every waking moment he takes a breath. Yet, his minion base followed him right down that rabbit hole and here we go.

A friend mine simply said that he needs to stopped being any means. I am not so sure if that is the way to go, because we could see a younger person who acts like Trump and will continue to flex his power against the world. There is a part of me that thinks we can’t last like for the next 3 years? A lot can happen in this time.

No matter how this end? With or without him around, this country will never be looked at by any other country the same way again. It will take decades to rebuild, resolve and restore our country’s reputation.

As I stated earlier, this isn’t going end well for anyone. The future is uncertain just because those who want a better life with Trump in control? It was a mistake and now the country is facing a crisis of Trump’s making.

I just hope that we can find an end to this, but with an egotistical moron in control? Well, no telling what, how or when this comes to any sort of reality that ends in a good place.

2. Trump hero-worships Putin. Everything he does is to impress his hero

I think he would shoot somebody on fifth Avenue if he thought Putin would complement him for it. It’s a sick relationship and we’re in the middle of it. Sen. Whitehouse laid it out very well yesterday on the floor of the Senate Epstein, Putin and Trump have been involved for decades. called their scheme and business the world‘s largest Honeytrap.

To refuse illegal orders regarding this illegal war!

We have rescued many countries in the past from stupid and cruel dictators. And now the evil orange idiot and his minions are going after Cuban govt officials.

Hey world, how about rescuing us and yourself from this idiocracy!

It is bonkers for anyone to see what Russia has done to Ukraine and think that's a good idea to do to another country.

Many experts have sent exit plan ideas to Trump. It's not too late to declare victory and leave. This doesn't have to turn into another Iraq or Afghanistan.

… of TSF to Putin, and/or the allegations of subservience, are particularly informative. I’m not denying that there may be connections. And yes, there are notable similarities, but TSF has managed to be an exceptional shithead all on his own.

…from the coming disaster. By declaring TSF’s war in Iran illegal and impeaching his ass or requiring (somehow?) we back the f*ck off, Congress may be able to help our nation save face. As it is, the entire planet blames the American people for electing TSF and when the bombs fly here, we will be offered no compassion or support from anyone.

When 911 happened, the entire world was on our side. Now, we don’t even have Canada.
