Trump Loves Putin--And Don't Ever Forget It

With so much bravery and inspiring leadership in Ukraine, it seems almost crass to turn one’s attention to the political fate of our Putin-loving former president.

But here goes anyway: Will Donald Trump’s longtime bromance with Vladimir Putin come back to haunt him or is that wishful thinking? It’s hard to say right now but Trump has certainly offered us some good ammo to use against him.

When given a chance to walk back his appalling pre-invasion comments that Putin is a “genius” and his invasion plan was “smart” and “very savvy,” Trump doubled down (“Putin is smart”) and began arguing that he was tough on Russia all along and Biden is a pushover.

His audacious Orwellian aim is to make everyone forget about how he was impeached in part for withholding weapons that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky desperately needed to defend himself against Russia.

Plenty of people will forget—or pretend to, like Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, who offered a lavish introduction of Trump at an RNC retreat last weekend.

2. We must keep this fact alive and in the news every single day.

The fucking moron thinks we will quickly forget 5+ years of hearing how great Putin is and let's not forget about his impeachment either. We need to drag his fat, wrinkled, flabby ass over the coals constantly so that the GQP propaganda machine isn't given the chance to distort our history and the truth. They are already starting to do it..."What? I never said Putin was a savvy genius, whatever are you talking about?" BS!

6. tattoo this on his damn forehead already

"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful," "He used the word ‘independent’ and 'we're gonna go out and we're gonna go in and we're gonna help keep peace.’ You gotta say that's pretty savvy."

Never let people forget he said this. Don't let it be like everything else trump says and does and have it be big news for a day or two and then conveniently go away and become benign. Like Syria, like revealing highly classified intelligence to the Russian Foreign Minister in the middle of the oval office. Like allowing Jared Kushner and over thirty others White House security clearance after the secret service denied them such clearance. And countless other examples. Always big news for a couple of days and then conveniently forgotten.

Not this. Repeat it every fifteen minutes like Faux News does with Hillary's emails, Benghazi, et al.....
