But he constantly maligns America as <em>&#8220;corrupt&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;failing&#8221;<\/em> and whose leaders are <em>&#8220;stupid.&#8221;<\/em> Trump has made it abundantly clear who he regards as this nation&#8217;s adversaries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63304\" target=\"_blank\">Traitor Trump Says that Americans Who Oppose Him are \u2018a Bigger Enemy than China and Russia\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is important to recognize that it isn&#8217;t just Democrats who have noticed Trump&#8217;s fealty to Putin and Russia. Many of Trump&#8217;s closest associates from his first occupation of the White House have <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=63463\" target=\"_blank\">spoken out about his dangerously dictatorial aspirations<\/a><\/strong>. His former White House Chief of Staff, Gen. John Kelly, has revealed that Trump frequently spoke of his admiration for Adolf Hitler. And those opinions about Trump&#8217;s fascist tendencies are shared by his military and national security colleagues, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, his former Defense Secretary, Mark Esper, and his former National Security Advisor, John Bolton.<\/p>\n<p>Among the patriots calling attention to Trump&#8217;s treasonous intentions was his National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster. And on this Sunday&#8217;s episode of CBS Face the Nation, McMaster took another stab at warning the nation about what awaits them in a second Trump term. He began by noting the lunacy of <em>&#8220;blaming ourselves for the acts of our adversaries as Tulsi Gabbard [Trump&#8217;s current nominee for Director of National Intelligence] has done, talking about how Putin felt aggrieved and that&#8217;s why he had to invade Ukraine.&#8221;<\/em> The discussion continued&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Margaret Brennan:<\/strong> Right. That&#8217;s a right-wing talking point that she has repeated in direct contravention to what U.S. intelligence has concluded.<br \/>\n<strong>McMaster:<\/strong> This is what I can&#8217;t understand. There are some people in the Republican Party these days who kind of tend to parrot Vladimir Putin&#8217;s talking points. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because they&#8217;re drawn to him and they see him as a defender of Western civilization, just a shirtless guy on horseback.<\/p>\n<p>But they&#8217;ve got to disabuse themselves of this strange affection for Vladimir Putin, who is not gonna stop in his efforts to restore Russia&#8217;s national greatest at our expense. That&#8217;s what he is obsessed with. He&#8217;s obsessed with reestablishing the Russian empire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">former Trump National Security Adviser HR McMaster: &quot;There are some people in the Republican Party these days who tend to parrot Vladimir Putin&#39;s talking points.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Nd4oXzeHvl\">pic.twitter.com\/Nd4oXzeHvl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/atrupar\/status\/1860719857295065414?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 24, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the fascist, so to speak, rots from the top. Trump is, of course, the leading disseminator of Putin&#8217;s talking points, and is the most seduced by the <em>&#8220;strange affection&#8221;<\/em> for Vlad. It is, therefore, unlikely that any of the Republicans that McMaster is referring to will alter their views. They are fully indoctrinated members of the Cult of Trump and believe that he has been blessed with divine infallibility.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the glassy-eyed MAGA GOP (Gaga Over Putin) are set to join Trump in the White House next year. They include the aforementioned Gabbard, Pete Hegseth (Secretary of Defense), Michael Waltz (National security adviser), and John Ratcliffe, (CIA director). And Trump&#8217;s nominees for Secretaries of State and Homeland Security, and ambassadors to the U.N. And NATO, are no better.
