Putin’s dream President
Rachel Maddow last night did a particularly good job documenting President Trump’s efforts to comply with President Putin’s fondest dreams:
Trump is not merely mouthing belief in Putin. He is doing things to please him. Odds are that Russian money is part of the reason. Let’s hope the various ongoing investigations, in particular of Deutsche Bank, clarify that in the next few months.
The dismantling of NATO efforts to defend Europe is particularly worrisome, as it won’t generate the same kind of domestic political backlash that canceling construction projects in Virginia will. It will also more directly weaken deterrence of Russian aggression, not only in Ukraine.
Trump may not be a Russian agent, but he is certainly doing as much as the Congress will allow to serve Putin’s (not necessarily Russia’s) interests. But Vladimir’s popularity is waning in Russia like Trump’s in America and Boris Johnson’s in Britain. It will be a happy day when all three are out of power.
Share this, I'll really appreciate it:

I posted on social media yesterday, “Had a great discussion today about which of the Trump Administration staff have been turned by the Russia, or possibly bought up… It was wild to look at the type of programs that the administration wants to cut to fund the border wall. How many of them favor Russia?”
Are there others that want to hear our president answer the questions (again) put to him by Mueller. This time before Congress during impeachment proceeding!
