S.E. Cupp Bashes Putin Suck Up-Fest: If Trump Isnt a Russian Agent, He Sure Plays a Good One on TVby Joe DePaolo | 7:18 pm, July 16th, 2018
Conservative critics of President Donald Trump have stolen the show on this Monday as President Donald Trump has come under heavy fire for seeming to side with Russian President Vladimir Putin rather than his own intelligence community as it relates to the subject of election interference. Add HLNs S.E. Cupp to that list and perhaps place her at the top.
Monday on Unfiltered, Cupp absolutely tore into the president for cozying up to his Russian counterpart.
If Trump isnt a Russian agent, he sure plays good one on TV, Cupp said. I cant think of press conference in which one leader so thoroughly tramples on his own nation and its interests than the suck up-fest I witnessed this afternoon.
Cupp specifically bristled at the idea of Trump potentially taking up Putin on his offer of having his investigators work on the case in which 12 Russian intelligence officers were indicted Friday for interfering in the election.
Yes, Cupp said, tongue firmly-in-cheek. Lets put the arsonist in charge of investigating how the building burned down.
Overall, Cupp slammed the president for coming off weak. Obliquely referencing Putin gifting the Commander-in-Chief a soccer ball, she said, Trump was so impotent, its no wonder he leaves the Russian summit with one ball.

(19,060 posts)Trump had to be pleading with Putin behind closed doors.
Donnie, "Come on Papa Vlad, please, throw me a bone here, let's come out there and announce we've got a deal on something, anything, just let me look like I am not your boy."
Vlad, "Ha ha ha, Oh Donald, such a silly boy, here's the script we've written for you, stick to it or you're through, now grab your shine box, come on over here and kneel down and buff my shoes until you can see your reflection like a good boy."
Putin got exactly what he wanted out of that meeting, Trump backed him up on every point.
