Discussion: Trump Defends Congratulating Putin: 'Getting Along ... Is A Good Thing'

Disney may want to redo the Trump animatronic. This is getting to be too much of a classic to over look in the Hall of Presidents.

Trump is Neville Chamberlain. Only much dumber and uglier.

I notice they have been tossing that around lately. All theater.

Getting along with … everyone?
Or especially with Putin?

Drumpf’s efforts with our traditional allies have been less than salutory, so I’ve got to go with Putin.

ā€œā€¦the coming Arms Raceā€

Sometime in the last week, Drumpf said he had to meet with Putin to discuss ā€œthe arms race.ā€ I was, like, what is this, '68?
Now I know – it’s one that hasn’t arrived yet.
Now, the open question is whether he’s meeting with Putin to prevent it or to plan it. Since DT went with ā€˜coming,’ I’ll go with plan it.

Assuming the guy you are "getting along " with isn’t a cold blooded murderer of anyone who speaks out. And Putin doesn’t care who knows.

There’s waaaaay too much admiration by trump of Putin for this to be just normal. trump never speaks out against Russia or the dictator who is in power there. In fact he more than admires him trump kowtows to him like master to pupal. And what is really disturbing is that republicans don’t care that this is reality. They don’t care that Russia owns trump. They don’t care that we are being sold out.

But Trump doesn’t read the PDB, he has somebody else paraphrase it to him, so the ALL CAPS wouldn’t have come through unless the reader shouted it.

What I find appalling is that nobody in the Big League media has yet said that chemical weapons are WMD, hence what Putin did was OK if not conceive of a WMD attack on the soil of a NATO ally that has that ā€œspecial relationshipā€ with the US. If Denmark provided us AWACS coverage for 9/11, then we are obliged to provide the UK with something for this.

@blandsten Hey, I was a coriate once, but after extensive treatment, now I’m an ex-coriate.

Since he barely reads, maybe his staff should start using emojis to flag key instructions - with a noose, :face_vomiting: or :nauseated_face: next to anything about Putin.

These 2nd Amendment heros are also a danger to themselves.

A month ago, Scientific American published an article about a study of accidental shootings during the NRA National Convention compared to the rest of the year. During the convention (where guns are banned) accidental shootings drop an average of 20%

Trump sanctioned Venezuelan officials for election fraud… But gave Putin a high five for doing it…

ā€œAs the Venezuelan government continues to disregard the will of its people, our message remains clear: The United States will not stand aside while the Maduro regime continues to destroy democratic order and prosperity in Venezuela,ā€ Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a press release.

NATO. Article 5. Collective Defense.

I remember, when …

Yes, getting along with people that you need to work with is a good thing. Why don’t you try that with Congress, the Senate, Democrats, our allies in Europe, Mexico, Canada, Australia or anyone else on the planet?

Why is it only dictators you like to get along with?

…They can help solve problems with North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, ISIS, Iran and even the coming Arms Race.

1). North Korea: Russia has been laying footsie with North Korea supplying technology which has advanced their nuclear program and allowing them to sell stuff to Syria.

2). Russia props up Assad.

3). Ukraine. Russia most probably corrupted Ukraine’s election via Manafort and invaded after the Ukrainians revolted.

4). Putin is an even better recruiting poster for ISIS than Trump.

5). Just how much help does Trump actually want with Iran?

6). Yep. Bet is going to be real hard for Russia to control its urge start and Arms race.

And here’s our President: won’t it be great if Putin stops hitting us.

Some help.
