Maybe he could also bring some corpses to pose with.

He mainstreamed white nationalists and racemongers, gave the green light to plutocrats to rape our air, water, and overall economy, so why not?
We’re basically one step from him bringing active KGB agents to speak at his campaign rallies and the convention.
I’ll admit, though, I still don’t fully understand how tying himself to a war criminal helps him - even with his thuggish base.

It seems fitting. Of all the military people Cadet Bonespurs (aka Russia’s Agent Orange) could pick for show, war criminals are, well, oddly fitting.
The truly scary thing is that the mob would cheer like it was a good thing.

Why not just have Putin come in riding on a horse with no shirt on?

This is a severe miscalculation on the part of Trump.
Ironically exacerbated because he was an abject, sniveling Coward during the Vietnam War and got out of Military Service.

The Korporate Koup Kontinues…
(And no, it’s not the friggin’ Russians. It’s concentrated wealth, no matter where it calls home, that is the real enemy…)

Arrogance and breaking down the system invariably “helps him with his thuggish base.”

Is it? It truth, justice, and the American way we’re in effect, it would be. But these are today’s Republicans, so maybe not so much.

I had thought of that, but it just seemed to grotesque, too bizarre, too repugnant, but here we are.

With all of the heroic people in the world fighting for good causes every day, these are the people Trump chooses to champion.
Is it time to award the Medal of Honor to William Calley?
