Trump & Ukraine

As we watch the invasion of Ukraine, let's not forget how Trump figures into this.

A few days ago, when Putin began his invasion, Trump thought the move was "wonderful" and that Pitin was a "genius" ...



Later, at CPAC, Trump seemed to have a change of heart (sic) about the invasion of Ukraine and said Volodymyr Zelensky was a "great man" - even Trump could see which way the political wind is blowing. But he still had to kiss Putin's ass ...



Let's remember two things ....

1) Trump has been sucking up to Putin even before he was elected president. He then co-ordinated with Putin and various Russians in order to steal the election of 2016. While president, Trump was slavishly subservient to Putin (think Helsinki). And thus he remains.

2) Trump used and abused Ukraine and its leader when he was president. Trump held back badly needed military aid, while he tried to blackmail Zelensky into first creating dirt on Joe Biden, Trump's political opponent ....



Given all this, Trump was still the winner of the CPAC straw poll of who Republicans want as president, again and for life.
