At the Helsinki presser , Putin buttered Trump by going on about Robert Mueller's phony investigation, when all he had to do was ask Russia to investigate any suspicions of wrong doing by any Russians, and then slammed Hillary Clinton for driving the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
Yesterday at the Alaska presser, Putin buttered Trump by blaming Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Biden, when all he had to do was to talk to Putin, and then he gave his guarantee that had Trump been president there never would have been a war.
Old KGB operative Putin knows his man. The way to Trump's compliance is through amplifying his favorite lies.
Perfect drawing of a one-headed, two-faced monster.
No surprise here but still so heart wrenching for Zelensky and the future of Ukraine. Rolling out the red carpet for this vile war lord, warmly shaking hands with Putin, and then watching them ride away together (a satisfied, sly smile on Putin's face) summed up how hollow Trump's tough guy threats and consequences would turn out to be. That and bringing up Russia, Russia, Russia took us back to Helsinki, when Trump sided with Putin over his own Intelligence agency.
There's no limit to Trump's obsequiousness; he buys into Putin's flattery every time and fails to see how Putin is merely playing him.
