Helsinki Re-Visited

The insanity is peaking. We all remember when, in his first term, he stood on the stage in Helsinki and defended Vladimir Putin over his own Intelligence. We were shocked when that happened. It seemed so treasonous.

Yesterday, he was holding court in the Oval Office with the obedient press, along with VP Vance and assorted guests, when he was asked about the Russian attack upon an American business in western Ukraine. The spokesman for the American Chamber of Commerce was shocked and critical of the attack.

When Trump was asked about the attack upon American interests, he went off on a tangent talking about the 7 wars he had stopped. Do not be alarmed if you have not heard the news about these seven wars and how Donald Trump single-handedly stopped them. It is definitely deserving of the Nobel Prize, according to Trump.

Then he pulled his Helsinki moment. He pulled out a glossy photo of himself and Putin, autographed by Vlad, and bragged about how Putin wants to come to the World Cup, as if oblivious to the fact that Putin had just bombed an American company in western Ukraine, close to the European border.

VP Vance and one of his guests were smiling nervously, as one of the guests half-looked at Vance to see if he thought it was insane, also? They pretended it was all "normal". The Press in the Oval did not have a good look since they had all prostrated themselves on the floor. It was another shameful moment of history.

Is there any doubt that Donald Trump is not a Putin agent? How much more do you need to see? He is a traitor.
