And so it begins. Nine months still to go before the next US presidential election and already the Republican party favourite and former President Donald Trump is sending eyes rolling skywards with his seemingly outlandish statements.
And yet they will delight many of his supporters.
Suggesting at a rally in South Carolina that he would “encourage” aggressors (for example Russia) “to do whatever the hell they want” with Nato countries that fail to pay their dues has prompted an immediate slap down from the White House. A spokesman called the comment “appalling and unhinged”, saying it was “encouraging invasions of our closest allies by murderous regimes”.
Nato Secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg has also responded forcefully, saying: “Any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the US, and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk.”
Donald Trump = traitor
Since when has calling someone a traitor ever convinced anyone? It’s the political equivalent of calling your opponent bad.
There are no words that can penetrate the ooze of lies, hypocrisy, and bad faith arguments the GOP has shielded themselves in. Just as I can walk into any church and say, “your religion can’t be the only correct religion, it’s a statistical quagmire” and no one will back down. They are fully assured in their flawed decision making.
Everyone knows that. Even his voters.
They just don’t care if they can diss the libs.
Which is why each and every drumph voter should be stripped of their nationality for treason and expedited to Alaska or whatever country will have them.
Drumpf was in fact his original family surname.
I’m sure the original etymology is Dumb so the exact letters don’t really matter anymore.
They like he’s a traitor because destroying the government was always their goal.
