It&#8217;s why he rebranded his failing reality TV game show <em>&#8220;The Apprentice,&#8221;<\/em> as <em>&#8220;Celebrity Apprentice.&#8221;<\/em> It&#8217;s why he couldn&#8217;t resist <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=55580\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dining with the repugnant anti-Semite Kanye West<\/a><\/strong>. And it&#8217;s why he isn&#8217;t shy about expressing his admiration for brutal tyrants like Kim Jong Un, Xi Jinping, and even Adolf Hitler.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59349\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FOX NEWS IS APPALLED that Trump Quoting Hitler Might Get More Press than a Selfie Sex Video<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among the dictators who Trump idolizes is, of course, his BFF, Vladimir Putin. Trump is still grateful for Putin&#8217;s help getting him elected in 2016. He took Putin&#8217;s word over that of U.S. intelligence as to whether Russia interfered in that election. And he has never had a derogatory thing to say about the Russian despot. To the contrary, he praises him as <em>&#8220;strong&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;brilliant.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday Trump went further and <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/111598195853403236\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">posted<\/a> a video to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58998\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his failing social media scam, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, wherein Putin had some praise of his own for his flunky, Donald Trump. The praise comes in the form of criticism of President Biden. Trump seems to think that Putin taking shots at Biden helps him, even though it&#8217;s coming from an avowed enemy of America. In the clip Putin brought up the legal tribulations of Trump and offered his opinion about what he regarded as political persecution&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;As for Trump&#8217;s prosecution, what is going on in present circumstances is very good for us. Because it shows rottenness in the U.S. political system that can&#8217;t claim to teach others democracy. What happens to Trump is politically motivated prosecution of a political rival.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lhiSDs4ag1w?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>It is jarring to hear Putin, who regularly has his rivals incarcerated or murdered, complaining about Trump being the victim of a <em>&#8220;politically motivated prosecution.&#8221;<\/em> It&#8217;s also 100% false. Putin is agreeing with Trump&#8217;s lies that the prosecutions by special counsel, Jack Smith, and state attorneys general are biased. He has no more proof of that than Trump or his Republican confederates do. But as far as Trump is concerned, it&#8217;s a vote of confidence from someone he respects and, in many ways, answers to. Although it should be troubling to the American people that Trump is leaning on Putin&#8217;s legal analysis for support.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to remember that the 91 felony counts pending against Trump were issued by an independent Grand Jury comprised of citizen jurors, not a political agency. But Putin&#8217;s remarks conveniently include criticism of the U.S. political system that both he Trump are obsessed with denigrating. They both benefit by tearing down the American system and its values.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58696\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Derangement Spirals Ever Downward as He Impotently Promises to Prove His Innocence<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By posting this video, Trump is promoting and agreeing with Putin&#8217;s attack on America&#8217;s administration of law. That is a profoundly un-American position for a former &#8211; and prospective future &#8211; president of the United States to take. It exposes his disloyalty to the nation and his allegiance to one of our most determined and hostile foes. That alone should disqualify Trump from holding any office of influence in the United States. <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, if Trump&#8217;s cult followers, and the right-wing press, don&#8217;t see any problem with Trump quoting Hitler, they aren&#8217;t going to object to his embrace of Putin either. They are fellow travelers on a path to authoritarian fascism, and aren&#8217;t going to let a little thing like Democracy or the Constitution get in their way. So it&#8217;s up to the rest of us exercise our democratic rights to vote them out of every office in order to preserve our principles and freedom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59109\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News Downplays Trump\u2019s Flagrantly Fascist Remarks and Overtly Authoritarian Aspirations<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59036\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Uber-MAGA 2024 Campaign Message Reeks of the 3rd Reich Rhetoric of the \u2018Final Battle\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58893\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wannabe Dictator Trump Declares His Intention to Obstruct Justice and Undermine the Constitution<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58129\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wannabe Dictator Trump Promises to Prosecute the \u2018Country Threatening Treason\u2019 of the Media<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For most of his life Donald Trump has made it a practice of bragging about his relationships with notable people.
