TACO TRUMP Pens Absurd Letter to NATO with Pro-Putin Conditions to End Russia’s War on Ukraine

Posted by on September 13, 2025 at 12:36 pm. 1 Comments :

In the past nine months Donald Trump has issued several less than compelling ultimatums to Vladimir Putin regarding his ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine. Even before he reoccupied the White House Trump promised that he would end the war in 24 hours with a single phone call to his dear friend Vlad.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Since taking office Trump reiterated his intentions to bring the conflict to a close. Last month Trump met with Putin in Alaska to negotiate a ceasefire. While steadfastly refusing to ever say anything critical of Putin, Trump insisted that Putin would have to agree to a ceasefire within 50 days – later reduced to 10 days – or there would be “severe consequences.” But as usual, Trump Always Chickens Out…

SEE THIS: TACO Trump Gives Putin Another 2 Weeks – No, Really, 2 Weeks – and He Really Means It This Time

Unsurprisingly, Trump’s deadlines have all passed. And on Saturday Trump posted another decree on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, expressing his thoughts on how to bring peace to the region in a letter he claimed to have sent to America’s NATO allies. Unfortunately, it was just more Trump malarkey that will create more confusion than completion. He babbled in part that…

““I am ready to do major Sanctions on Russia when all NATO Nations have agreed, and started, to do the same thing, and when all NATO Nations STOP BUYING OIL FROM RUSSIA. […] I believe that this, plus NATO, as a group, placing 50% to 100% TARIFFS ON CHINA, to be fully withdrawn after the WAR with Russia and Ukraine is ended, will also be of great help in ENDING this deadly, but RIDICULOUS, WAR.”

So Trump is “ready to do major Sanctions on Russia,” but only if all of NATO joins him. That’s a pathetically weak statement. Firstly because it exposes him as being afraid to show any smidgen of leadership. And secondly because it shields him from doing anything at all. If every one of the NATO members doesn’t go along, Trump will blame the whole alliance for his own failure to act on his own promises. And Turkey, Hungary, and Slovakia are on relatively friendly terms with Russia and remain trading partners, particularly with regard to oil, so they can’t be relied on to agree to Trump’s demands.

Trump’s additional terms regarding China further complicate his initiative. He wants all of NATO to impose the same inflationary tariffs on merchandise from China that he has imposed on American companies and consumers. And he is asking this of NATO while he is imposing tariffs on them. That would result in NATO suffering the economic hardship of tariffs from both China and the U.S.

This plan could not have been better devised to fail if it were intentional. Which, undoubtedly, it was. Because Trump couldn’t care less about ending the war. Especially if it damages his relationship with Putin. Conversely, Trump has repeatedly demeaned and insulted Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. And he does so again in this letter saying that…

“This is not TRUMP’S WAR (it would never have started if I was President!), it is Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s WAR.”

See? According to Trump it isn’t Putin’s war at all. Never mind that Putin is the one who invaded Ukraine. And Putin is the one committing war crimes. And the war could end tomorrow if Putin would just have his troops go home. Trump’s blaming Biden and Zelenskyy was so offensive that it drew criticism from Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, a conservative Republican who sits on the House Committee on Armed Services. Bacon slammed Trump saying that…

“‘It is Biden’s and Zelenskyy’s war’ is so morally blind and factually wrong. Mr President, Putin is the one who is the invader. And, now this war is on your watch and you’ll be judged in the history books in the decades to come by your actions or lack thereof.”

Somehow, through all of this, Trump and his sycophants in Congress and the press think that he should get a Nobel peace prize. For what? Stalling any hopes of peace until Ukraine is defeated and Russia has achieved its imperialistic goals? If there is one thing we can learn from this, it’s that Putin could not have a better friend than Donald Trump. And America could not have a worse president.

Trump Admits that He Has Been Protecting Vladimir Putin and Russia From ‘Really Bad Things’

Posted by on May 27, 2025 at 11:53 am. 1 Comments :

The evidence that Donald Trump has been perhaps the best investment that Vladimir Putin ever made is difficult to dismiss. Throughout his political life, Trump has frequently lambasted America’s allies, while he has conspicuously declined to criticize Putin or condemn his abhorrent activities, including war crimes in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Until recently. This week Trump has diverted from his notoriously pro-Putin stance to offer some mild rebukes following Putin’s failure to heed Trump’s impotent demand that he stop bombing civilians in Ukraine. Instead, Putin escalated his attacks, proving how little respect for, or fear of, Trump Putin has. Never mind Trump’s promise to end the war in 24 hours with a single phone call before he was even inaugurated. Or his claims that the war would never have happened if Trump were in office at the time Putin invaded. Which Trump doesn’t even believe…

SEE THIS: Trump Destroys His Own Claim that Russia Wouldn’t Have Invaded Ukraine if He Were President

On Tuesday morning Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he made an unexpected confession. He wrote that…

“What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!”

And there you have it. Trump is admitting that he has been been protecting Putin and Russia from some unspecified “really bad things.” So while Putin was massacring innocent Ukrainian civilians, destroying the nation’s infrastructure, and insisting that it doesn’t have any right to exist, Trump was shielding Russia from any harm that might have come its way.

That’s been noticeably true as Trump halted America’s military and intelligence support for Ukraine. He also refused to impose any new sanctions on Russia, or to seize the billions of dollars of frozen Russian assets in U.S. control. And Trump has been Russia’s strongest advocate to reenter the world community in organizations such as the G7.

This latest missive by Trump follows his complaint that Putin “has gone absolutely CRAZY.” Is Trump pretending to be surprised by this transformation in his Russian BFF? If not, and he truly believes it, that’s even worse. In another Truth Social post Trump yammered that…

“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people.”

Trump says that Putin "has gone absolutely CRAZY."But Putin is doing exactly what he's done since he invaded Ukraine 3 years ago. And Trump, who said he would end the war in 24 hours, is responsible for prolonging it by halting the support America was giving to Ukraine.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-05-26T08:02:15.663Z

However, Putin hasn’t changed one bit. His brutal slaughter of Ukrainians has been going on for three years. But Trump saw fit to abandon and betray our ally by cutting off aid. The only person with more Ukrainian blood on his hands than Putin is Trump. And yet, Trump is still deferential to Putin, while he attacks and insults President Zelenskyy as a “dictator” who doesn’t really want the war to end.

If Trump were genuinely interested in ending what he has called “a bloodbath” (he isn’t), Trump could simply restore military support for Ukraine and slap more sanctions on Russia. But neither Ukraine, nor concerned Americans, should hold their breath waiting for Trump to do something decent and humane. As the old saying goes, you can’t squeeze decency from a malignant narcissist.

Crybaby Trump Demands a Televised Public Apology From Zelenskyy to Satisfy His Hurt Fee Fees

Posted by on March 3, 2025 at 1:08 pm. 2 Comments :

Last Friday Donald Trump hosted Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at the White House for what was billed as a meeting to affirm U.S. support for Ukraine’s battle against Russia’s imperialistic aggression. The meeting was also supposed to include the signing of an agreement for the U.S. to share in revenue from Ukraine’s rich mineral deposits.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Wah

In other words, it was an attempt by Trump to extort profits from Ukraine’s natural resources in exchange for protection from Trump’s pal Vladimir Putin, who would also benefit from the mineral rights agreement. This is how the Mafia operates, by making threats to coerce innocent parties to hand over their wealth or suffer the consequences of not submitting. It’s a tactic that Trump learned from his friends in organized crime.

SEE THIS: Was Trump’s Ambush of Zelenskyy Preplanned, Including Stacking the Press Pool with Kremlin Hacks?

Unfortunately, Trump purposely drove the meeting into a ditch by throwing another of his hallmark tantrums and berating Zelenskyy for not being nice enough to Putin (who invaded his country and was still massacring his people), or grateful enough to Trump (who is always only interested in what he can get for himself). Consequently, the mineral rights deal was not signed, and Trump backed out of continuing support for Ukraine’s defense.

On Monday morning Trump’s team laid out their terms for restarting negotiations with Zelenskyy. In a response to Fox News White House correspondent, Peter Doocy, Trump demanded that Zelenskyy apologize to Trump. For what? For having the patience and grace to sit through the infantile harangues of Trump and JD Vance without shouting back with the same ferocity, despite how much it was deserved? Or for calmly maintaining his composure even though the fate of his nation and people was being threatened by a petulant whiner? Here is how Doocy described the statement from the Trump camp…

“I have been told by a senior official here that nothing is gonna happen with this minerals deal until Zelenskyy goes in front of cameras and makes an explicit public apology for the way that he behaved himself – behaved in the Oval Office with that meeting.”

If it's true that Trump won't deal with Zelenskyy until he gets a "public apology," it only confirms that he's a sniveling whiner with the emotional maturity of 2 year old. And that he couldn't care less about the human cost.And of course it proves that #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-03-03T17:46:10.134Z

So the Trump regime’s position is that a war started by Trump’s idol and role model, Putin, would continue unless Zelenskyy kissed Trump’s…let’s say ring. And Trump is insisting that the smooching be televised in a melodramatic reality TV style moment. Because that’s how simplistically narcissists like Trump view the world.

Furthermore, Trump has pre-announced the terms of any agreement between Ukraine and Russia, which would require Ukraine to concede its land and sovereignty, including the right to join NATO. As for Russia, Trump has not proposed that they make any concessions whatsoever. And this is the dealmaking prowess that Trump likes to brag about, where you give away everything before any negotiations have even begun?

Trump literally told Zelenskyy that he “doesn’t have any cards” to play. That’s not actually true, but more to the point, smart poker players generally don’t tell their opponents they have lousy hands. But Trump did so in front of international news media, including Russia’s state-owned media, TASS, that Trump’s staff later said was not approved to be there. But they still can’t explain how they got into the Oval Office in the first place. Can just anyone wander in without being noticed?

Where things stand now is that Trump is waiting for Zelenskyy to make a public apology. The best that he is likely to get is an expression of regret that the meeting didn’t go better. Which was entirely Trump’s fault. Because he is too cowardly and beholden to Putin to seek anything that is in the interests of Ukraine, or even America. And he posted that sentiment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Monday morning, saying that “We Should Spend Less Time Worrying About Putin.”

Is anyone surprised Trump wants to spend less time worrying about his idol & role model, Vladimir Putin, who is a brutal tyrant & war criminal?But instead he tries to instill fear of imaginary crime waves, that for some reason he associates with Europe. #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Fox News is SHOCKED that Citizens Have the Gall to Protest Trump VP Vance on His Ski Vacation

Posted by on March 2, 2025 at 11:59 am. 1 Comments :

If there is one thing that is crystal clear in the second coming of Donald Trump’s occupation of the White House, it’s that dissent is verboten, and anyone who dares to engage in it must be shunned and driven from the embrace of Trump’s obeisant society. The protections of the Constitution notwithstanding, defiance of Dear Leader will not be tolerated.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Fox News, Constitution

This suppression of free speech is not some vague, clandestine policy that is hinted at in disguised rhetoric. It is blatant and broadcast without shame by Trump and his cronies. His recently confirmed director of the FBI, Kash Patel, made sure that he would not be misunderstood when he threatened the media with persecution and prosecution if they challenged the supremacy of the regime.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Free Press? His FBI Flunky Kash Patel Threatens to ‘Come After the People in the Media’

Consequently, it will surprise no one that Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda, Fox News, is leading the way down the path of total submission to the Trump cult’s hive mind. On Sunday’s edition of Fox and Friends Weekend (the program from which Trump recruited his Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth), the “Curvy Couch” potatoes drew the red line that citizens of Trump’s perverse version of America must never be allowed to cross.

Campos-Duffy: There was somebody who was in Vermont, a very liberal state, who went with his family, JD Vance, skiing, and boy, the Vermonters were not very friendly and welcoming. I don’t think any conservatives will want to go to Vermont skiing anymore.
Hurt: Shocking, SHOCKING, to find out that the state that keeps sending us Bernie Sanders decided to turn out in support of, uh, against JD Vance because of the showdown in the White House yesterday.
Campos-Duffy: Do you know what bugs me about this is? It’s like if he was, ya know, if he was like – I get, I think families should be off limits. Hunter Biden sold out the country. There was a reason to talk about him. These kids are like four and two. Why are they bothering this man on his ski vacation?

Did y’all get that? It is now required that all citizens must be “friendly and welcoming” to visitors from the Trump confederacy. Failure to behave in the approved manner will warrant ostracization, and the enmity of Trump cultists in good standing.

So even if a Trump toady, like say for instance, JD Vance, were to come to town the day after he and Trump grossly embarrassed the nation by chastising a beleaguered American ally, such as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy – who has been courageously fighting to defend the cherished American values of liberty and democracy – the peasants…er…residents of that town are still expected to bow down reverentially or suffer the consequences.

MORE HERE: Was Trump’s Ambush of Zelenskyy Preplanned, Including Stacking the Press Pool with Kremlin Hacks?

What’s more, the voters of that town will be mocked for democratically electing the representative of their choice if he (e.g. Bernie Sanders) doesn’t fall in line with the Fuhrer’s dictates. Never mind that when Trump’s nemesis, President Biden, was in office, it was perfectly fine to attack the President and his family in overtly unfriendly and unwelcoming ways.

In the Era of the Cult of Trump, guilt by association is the standard operating procedure. Anyone who affiliates with the enemies of Trump are suspect themselves. However, if we apply the same gauge to the Trumpists, we would see a decidedly troubling scenario unfolding. Because among the most fervent followers of Trump are some of the world’s most brutal and oppressive tyrants, whose reverence Trump gleefully returns.

Russian politico, Dmitry Medvedev, gives #PutinsPoodle, Trump, praise for his "slap down" of Zelenskyy. Like a dog getting a treat for doing a trick.Hungary's dictator, Orbán, also came out in support of Trump's tantrum against Zelenskyy, but inadvertently notes that Putin is weak for making war.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-03-01T18:58:25.115Z

And let’s not forget Trump’s co-president, Elon Musk, who is fully on board with America’s Russian foes, and is doing all that he can to advance their interests.

Trump's co-president, Elon Musk, is now advocating that the U.S. quit NATO and the U.N.Just like their master Vladimir Putin wants us to do.

Fox News Says Trump’s Ugly Oval Office Attack on Zelenskyy Merits a Nobel Peace Prize

Posted by on March 1, 2025 at 12:09 pm. 3 Comments :

The faithful devotion that Donald Trump has for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin was revealed yet again in a spine-chilling display of submission and betrayal by an America “president” who has fully committed to selling out his country to satisfy his insatiable lust for power, wealth, and the adoration of a flock of gullible rubes.

Donald Trump

On Friday Trump had a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. It was billed as a routine diplomatic affair wherein the two leaders would sign an agreement for the U.S. to continue its support for Ukraine against the imperialist, genocidal aggression of Russia, in exchange for some of the abundant mineral rights held by Ukraine. Unfortunately, the meeting didn’t go as planned. Or did it?

SEE THIS: Was Trump’s Ambush of Zelenskyy Preplanned, Including Stacking the Press Pool with Kremlin Hacks?

The tantrum thrown by Trump was an embarrassment to him, his administration, and sadly, the international reputation of the United States. In a few short minutes Trump confirmed, on a world stage, his ignorance of world affairs, as well as his infantile belligerence, and his callous insensitivity to the suffering of our allies. The response from the world’s free democracies was unanimous: Trump was out of line and off his rocker!

There were, however, those who regarded Trump’s hysterics as admirable, and even as “a lot of male alpha energy coming from Trump.” That fangirl commentary came from a Fox News co-host of Fox and Friends, Rachel Campos-Duffy, who happens to be married to Trump’s Transportation Secretary and former Fox News hack, Sean Duffy. But what she went to say was even more ridiculous…

“I think we have to get back to the central point, I think the most important point, that Donald Trump made in this whole thing, ‘You are gambling with World War III.’

“This was about peace ultimately. There’s a lot of drama, and we can break down everybody’s feelings, but in the end, I think what’s remarkable is that we have a president who’s willing to do anything to bring about world peace. Man, if he doesn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize after this, that thing means nothing.

Fox News host this morning after the disastrous Oval Office meeting between Trump and President Zelensky:If Trump doesn't get the Nobel Peace Prize after this, that thing means nothing. ?

— Republicans Against Trumpism (@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social) 2025-03-01T16:10:32.003Z

SERIOUSLY? A Nobel Peace Prize for deliberately sabotaging any rational plan for peace? For advocating surrender to the madman who started the war? For insulting the hero who has been standing steadfast against Putin’s aggression and has been defending liberty and democracy?

What Campos-Duffy believes is “peace” is giving up land and treasure to the enemy in hopes that such compliance will stop him from demanding anything more. Which is not the case with most bullies.

That’s also what Trump believes. And when she says that Trump is “willing to do anything to bring about world peace,” she’s right, in a way. He’s willing to sink to any low in order to appease a brutal thug. And after laying down for the tyrant, get an award for advancing peace?

Trump likewise regards himself as a peacemaker. And he is still envious of President Obama who did receive a Nobel Peace Prize. Immediately following his ambush of Zelenskyy, Trump told a gaggle of right-wing “reporters” that…

“He’s gotta say, ‘I want to make PEACE. He doesn’t have to stand there and say about Putin this, Putin that. All negative things…He doesn’t have the cards.”

Trump thinks that President Zelenskyy should be nicer to Putin, who invaded his country and is massacring his people.And he asserts that Zelenskyy "doesn't have the cards." That isn't negotiating from strength. That's surrender.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-03-01T19:03:03.335Z

Trump seems to think that Zelenskyy doesn’t want peace. Because if he did want it, he would be saying nice, positive things about Putin. What’s more, Trump repeated his defeatist assertion that Zelenskyy “doesn’t have the cards.” So the alleged author of “The Art of Deal” thinks that telling the other players that you have a lousy hand is an effective negotiating tactic. Particularly when that isn’t even true. Just fold and give your opponent the whole pot.

Lest anyone come away with the impression that Trump’s only allies are the Trump-fluffers on fox News, we need to appreciate that he is not alone. He also has support from some of the nastiest totalitarians on the planet, which is a club he is anxious to join. For instance…

Russian politico, Dmitry Medvedev, gives #PutinsPoodle, Trump, praise for his "slap down" of Zelenskyy. Like a dog getting a treat for doing a trick.Hungary's dictator, Orbán, also came out in support of Trump's tantrum against Zelenskyy, but inadvertently notes that Putin is weak for making war.

Was Trump’s Ambush of Zelenskyy Preplanned, Including Stacking the Press Pool with Kremlin Hacks?

Posted by on February 28, 2025 at 3:31 pm. 3 Comments :

The first month of Donald Trump’s reoccupation of the White House has been the sort of colossal calamity that many people predicted and warned about. But even with the expectation that he would preside over an unprecedented betrayal of American values, Trump manages to exceed even the worst forecasts by the most pessimistic observers.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump Angry

To prove his prowess at screwing up the affairs of state, Trump met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday, ostensibly to finalize an agreement to provide continued military assistance to Ukraine, in exchange for a ransom of Ukrainian minerals to satisfy Trump’s transactional greed. The meeting, however, did not go as planned. Or did it?

It did not take long for Trump to transform the diplomatic discussion into a verbal venting wherein Trump, lashed out with uncontrolled vitriol at Zelenskyy. Trump even veered off on a “Russia, Russia, Russia” rant, whining about his impeachment and prior conflicts with Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Both Trump and his vice-president unleashed ugly attacks that had little to nothing to do with the purpose of the meeting. [The full video of the exchange is here, if you have the stomach for it]

Trump engaged in ego-driven blather, complaining that “You gotta be more thankful. Because, lemme tell you, you don’t have the cards.” He is typically focused on forcing people to pay undeserved homage to him. Vance joined in with a rather telling admission, saying that “I think it’s disrespectful for you to come into the oval office and try to litigate this in front of the American media.”

That’s right. According to Vance, Zelenskyy is somehow at fault for Trump blowing up at him in front of the media that Trump invited. A suspicious cynic might surmise that Trump planned this Oval Office putsch in order to derail the $500 billion mineral deal that Trump might have recently learned was not as advantageous for Trump, and his client Russia, as he thought. As NBC News reported…

“According to a 2023 study by Forbes Ukraine, the country’s rare earth and other critical minerals could be worth as much as $14.8 trillion.” […and that…] “There are no current rare earth projects underway in Ukraine and experts say it will take years to get projects off the ground, possibly up to a decade.”

So Trump needed a a reason to ditch the deal. Preferably with witnesses. Which makes this a good time to point out the specific representatives of the press that Trump invited to this meeting. As media watchers know, the Trump regime has recently been making changes to the way they interact with the press. They have outright banned some outlets from covering the president, and have ended the century-long practice of having the independent White House Correspondents Association assign journalists to cover Trump and Company.

SEE THIS: Trump Declares Himself King of the White House Press Corps, Will Now Decide Who Can Question Him

Consequently, longstanding, credible journalists from the Associated Press and Reuters were not allowed to cover the Zelenskyy meeting. However, extremist right-wing outlets were on the White House’s approved list. But that isn’t all. Russia’s own state news agency, TASS, somehow got into the room. At least until someone noticed…

Are we supposed to believe that the correspondent from TASS was just in the neighborhood and secretly slipped in behind the reporter from Newsmax? This meeting was not in the White House Press Briefing Room. It was the Oval Office. Can just anyone get in there without being credentialed or noticed? Or did Trump arrange for the Kremlin’s flack to snag a pass, and then deny any involvement when it became known? Will anyone else in the press ask that question?

Among the reporters who were approved was Brian Glenn of of the Trump-fluffing MAGA webnet, Real America’s Voice. He may be better known as Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend. He managed to get a question in about why Zelenskyy wasn’t wearing a suit. Funny… Glenn never asked Elon Musk why he attends Oval Office meetings in a t-shirt and baseball cap.

Fox News Stumps Trump’s National Security Adviser About Who is Responsible for the War in Ukraine

Posted by on February 20, 2025 at 2:21 pm. 2 Comments :

Late last year, in the midst of the presidential campaign, Donald Trump made one of his notoriously preposterous proclamations that no rational person would ever take seriously. So naturally, his MAGA cult followers, and virtually every Republican politician, bought it hook, line, and stinker.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

This particular proclamation concerned the war in Ukraine and Trump’s assertion that he alone held the key to resolving the conflict and ending the war. What’s more, he insisted that he could do it within 24 hours of his inauguration with a single phone call. And it wouldn’t even impede his other critical work on behalf of the American people.

SEE THIS: Trump is Busy Doing the People’s Work: Pushing for Plastic Straws and Firing Journalists?

Needless to say, Trump’s deadline is long past and the war in Ukraine is raging on with no end in sight. Trump did dispatch his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and National Security Adviser, Mike Waltz, to Saudi Arabia to initiate negotiations. However, he didn’t bother to invite Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. So it’s ridiculous to presume that any progress toward peace could result.

What makes progress even less likely is that Trump and his team refuse to recognize the most basic realities concerning the matter. An example of their obtuse perspective was seen in the remarks by Waltz to Fox News Thursday morning. Waltz was asked by Fox’s White House correspondent Peter Doocy…

Doocy: Who does Trump think is more responsible for the Russian invasion of Ukraine? Putin or Zelenskyy?
Waltz: Well look, his goal Peter is to bring this war to an end. Period. And there has been ongoing fighting on both sides. It is World War I-style trench warfare. His frustration with President Zelensky is, that you’ve heard, is multifold.

One, there needs to be a deep appreciation for what the American people, what the American taxpayer, what President Trump did in his first term, and what we’ve done since. So some of the rhetoric coming out of Kiev, frankly, and insults to President Trump were unacceptable, number one. Number two, our own Secretary of Treasury personally made the trip to offer the Ukrainians what is – can only be described as a historic opportunity.

DOOCY: Who does Trump think is more responsible for Ukraine? Putin or Zelenskyy?WALTZ: Well look, his goal Peter is to bring this war to an end. Period.

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-02-20T18:41:30.458Z

Doocy threw a proverbial softball to Waltz, asking “who is more responsible for the Russian invasion of Ukraine?’ The answer (the Russian invasion) was right there in the question. And yet, Waltz swung and missed by a mile. He never even got close to agreeing that Putin was the invader who a attacked a peaceful neighbor. If this is how badly he whiffs on a question from Fox News, imagine what would happen if he ever allowed a real journalist to interview him.

What Waltz did say was that we all “need” to “appreciate” Trump for what he did. Because, like all cults, Dear Leader must be praised at all times. Can anyone explain what Trump did for Ukraine that deserves appreciation? Waltz also ragged on Zelenskyy for allegedly insulting Trump. Then he followed that up by reiterating Trump’s demand for Ukraine to payoff Trump as if he were a mob boss operating a protection racket. Which, truth be told, he is.

In reality, it is Trump who has engaged in infantile insults based on flagrant lies. He posted a rambling, incoherent rant on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, wherein he blamed Zelenskyy for the war that Russia started, dismissed him as a “modestly successful comedian,” called him a dictator, accused him wanting “to keep the gravy train open,” and lied that he “is very low in Ukrainian Polls.” But through it all, Trump never says a single word criticizing his BFF, Vladimir Putin, or suggesting that Russia make any concessions for peace.

Trump posts a tediously long comment about Ukraine that blames Zelenskyy, America, and President Biden, for the war that Russia started by invading their peaceful neighbor.Yet Trump never says a single word criticizing the monstrous Putin who Trump idolizes & seeks to emulate.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-02-20T20:24:58.320Z

One thing that Trump makes perfectly clear is that he is working for Putin. And every Republican who fails to call out that treason is complicit in it. And that goes for the media as well.

Trump Lies that Zelenskyy Told Him He Did Nothing Wrong, Exhuming the Lie that Got Him Impeached

Posted by on September 27, 2024 at 2:34 pm. 1 Comments :

Five years ago Donald Trump was impeached for threatening Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an attempt to bully him into digging up – or making up – dirt on President Biden. Trump’s extortion attempt was unsuccessful as Zelenskyy steadfastly refused to buckle under to Trump’s illegal and unethical demands.

Under ordinary circumstances, most former presidents, and current candidates, might want to avoid reminding voters of that humiliating chapter in their amoral career. But Trump is hardly ordinary.

On Friday Trump met with Zelenskyy as part of his campaign to pretend that he’s still the president, or at least in some measure relevant. The meeting was just another embarrassing episode for Trump. Zelenskyy appeared to be as uncomfortable as a victim in a hostage video. But he endured the indignity of standing next to Trump on behalf of his country in order to ensure the favor of congressional Republicans who still support Ukraine.

For his part, Trump was Trump. And in his barely comprehensible comments he managed to diverge from the matter at hand, to his still seething outrage at having been impeached for trying to strongarm Zelenskyy into helping him to smear Biden in the midst of a campaign. Ignoring the actual reasons for Zelenskyy’s visit, Trump turned the discussion to his own dated anxieties, saying that…

“When they did the impeachment hoax, a Democrat hoax, which we won, but one of the reasons we won it so easily is when the president was asked – it was over a phone call with the president, and he said – he could have grandstanded and played cute, but he didn’t. He said President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. He said it loud and clear. And the impeachment hoax died there.”

As usual, there’s quite a bit of clean up to perform on that rant. First of all, the impeachment was not a hoax. It actually happened. And Trump cannot claim to have won when a majority of the House voted against him. The impeachment surely didn’t die there. In fact, there was a second impeachment to follow, related to Trump’s incitation of the insurrection on January 6, 2021.

More to the point, Trump’s assertion that Zelenskyy said that Trump “did absolutely nothing wrong” is an outright lie. To the contrary, what Zelenskyy said about what Trump calls the “perfect” phone call was pretty much the opposite, albeit in a diplomatic way. According to NBC News Zelenskyy said…

“’Look, I never talked to the president from the position of a quid pro quo,’ Zelenskiy told Time and a handful of European publications in an interview published Monday. ‘That’s not my thing. … I don’t want us to look like beggars. But you have to understand. We’re at war. If you’re our strategic partner, then you can’t go blocking anything for us. I think that’s just about fairness. It’s not about a quid pro quo. It just goes without saying.’”

Zelenskyy had to be careful about how he expressed himself. He obviously didn’t want to upset Trump. But he was clear that he wanted to avoid looking weak and doing anything that might result in the aid being withheld.

Those are concerns that Zelenskyy also had on his mind during his meeting with Trump Friday. And it must have taken a considerable amount of self control to remain silent when Trump bragged about his chumminess with the brutal aggressor who was slaughtering Ukrainian civilians, saying that he has “a very good relationship, as you know, with President Putin.”

It is interesting to compare what Kamala Harris said during her meeting with Zelenskyy to what Trump said. She was unequivocally supportive of our democratic ally, and rejects Trump’s “proposals of surrender.” Trump, meanwhile was all-in with making a “deal” with Putin that would result in Ukraine giving up territory and a weakening of NATO.

Trump has once again proven that he is an insensitive, egomaniacal cretin who is unfit to hold any office of power. And for this, and so many other reasons, the American people must emphatically renounce him on November 5th.
