During the joint news conference that put an end to today’s faux-summit in Helsinki between Vladimir Putin and his American puppet, Donald Trump, the latter was asked by an American journalist, in front of the entire world, whether he believed the findings of the entire intelligence/law enforcement community of the United States that Russia, with intent, interfered with the basic foundation of our democracy during the 2016 elections.
In other words, Donald Trump was asked a question that left him with a binary choice: (1) Do you believe the incontrovertible evidence painstakingly revealed by the dedicated and often dangerous work of your own country’s intelligence and law enforcement communities—and reinforced by the indictments of 12 Russians handed down by the Special Counsel this Friday past—that Russia interfered with America’s 2016 electoral process or (2) do you believe the denials of the former KGB/GRU thug, killer and now dictatorial leader of our country’s most dangerous enemy, Vladimir Putin?
Donald Trump’s response?
“Hillary…,” of course.
And, echoing the despicable moral equivalency he drew following the tragic events in Charlottesville nearly a year ago:
“We are all to blame…both made some mistakes.”
Indeed, Trump’s refusal to defend the United States—THE COUNTRY OF WHICH HE IS PRESIDENT!—was made even more outrageous by his claim that the investigation by our intelligence and law enforcement communities into attempts by Russia to destabilize our democracy is the very thing that has “kept us [the U.S. and Russia] apart.”
But, why should we be surprised? Using his Twitter account—would someone please take his phone away from him?—earlier in the day, The Orange Fool asserted that the U.S. was entirely responsible for the breach in U.S./Russia relations: “Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt.”
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly noted Trump’s anti-American, pro-Russian position by retweeting The American Twit’s tweet and approvingly adding “We agree.”
Jesus Christ!
The only smile as broad as that of Vladimir Putin following Trump’s traitorous performance in Helsinki earlier today is plastered on the face of a corpse interred in the Woodland Hills Cemetery in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The corpse is that of James Buchanan, the 15th president of the United States and the man almost universally considered by historians to be “the worst president in American history.”
Until today, that is, when he was rescued from that inglorious designation by one Donald J. Trump.
