Trump Tries to Destroy the West

June 10, 2018 at 4:17 pm EDTBy Taegan Goddard

David Leonhardt: “The alliance between the United States and Western Europe has accomplished great things. It won two world wars in the first half of the 20th century. Then it expanded to include its former enemies and went on to win the Cold War, help spread democracy and build the highest living standards the world has ever known.”

“President Trump is trying to destroy that alliance.”

“Is that how he thinks about it? Who knows. It’s impossible to get inside his head and divine his strategic goals, if he even has long-term goals. But put it this way: If a president of the United States were to sketch out a secret, detailed plan to break up the Atlantic alliance, that plan would bear a striking resemblance to Trump’s behavior.”

He is only doing Putin's bidding. He is nothing but a mindless puppet.

Never has that been made more clear. Nurtle the Turtle can talk about how wonderful things are in AmeriKKKa, but that only serves as a reminder of how far that despicable party has fallen (didn't need to fall that far, mind you). Repukes are hell on earth.
