Trump’s Hostility To Ukraine Sparked By Hungary’s PM

President Donald Trump met with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on May 13, a conversation that primed Trump to be hostile to and suspicious of Ukraine.

Given 15 minutes alone with Trump you could convince him John F Kennedy was running the world from a deep bunker in Roswell, NM.

From the NYTs article:

Echoing Mr. Putin’s view, Mr. Orban has publicly accused Ukraine of oppressing its Hungarian minority and has cast his eye on a section of Ukraine with a heavy Hungarian population.

Apparently Orban is wondering why only Putin is allowed to carve up Ukrainian territory for himself?

The idea that POTUS responds to whoever can shout down the others in the discussion is just one more sign of how low we have sunk. Imagine your child’s principal at school making decisions that way. You would demand that the school board fire that person. This is simply not the way that reasonable people function. And since we know that believe anyone who flatters him, we can assume that the PM of Hungary simply told him that he was the best President that we have ever had, or promised to hold his annual retreat at Doral, or something equally absurd.
He is a clear and present danger.

The headline here presumes that Trump wasn’t a tool of the Russians before he was even elected President. It’s perfectly reasonable to assume that Orban was merely communicating Putin’s latest instruction to Trump during their private meeting.

So terrible that Putin wants to emulate Stalin and kill off a few million Ukrainians?

Yet every single GOP member of Congress, save one or two, will tell you he’s no such thing. So, there’s another 250 or so clear and present dangers.

Since Trump has never down a manly thing in his life without being backed up by bodyguards or lawyers
he substitutes shouting down someone as an act of manhood.
His running down POW’s and Gold Star families shows he believes shouting is more manly then action.
Once again,he writes checks with his mouth that his body can’t cash.

And Viktor Orban is de facto acting as Putin’s agent in Europe to undermine democracy and the rule of law in the EU from within.

With the final tap of the nail of this being added to the bill of indictment along with the Dmitry Firtash quid pro quo, no sane and intelligent person can deny that Trump has his head so far up Putin’s ass that he can see his lungs.

Trump’s a traitor and the penalty for treason includes execution.

It’s not as if Putin’s puppet would not follow instructions from a proxy. And it’s not as if people in high places and quiet rooms did not know.

Seems eastern Europe fascism has reached the Anschluss Sudetenland phase. I’m waiting for the Poles to start becoming more trouble in the near future just to make it a party.

For the arse-wipe so-called president, it is not even the person who yells the loudest; it is probably the last person to get in a word that will have the most effect on forming shit-head’s opinion.

​What the fuck is wrong with US-Americans? Over 30%, all of them deplorable and despicable, disgusting and dangerous, still think that the narcissistic pathological liar, the so-called president, is worthy of the office.

Which would be wrong, because he’s actually running it from the bunker under Bikini Atoll.

The alleged nuclear testing there was just an excuse to clear the area of any witnesses while the true doomsday bunkers and shadow government were built.

Nancy Pelosi has it right and the only person whose opinion matters in the Trump administration is Vladimir Putin.

Trump’a hostility toward the Ukraine is because Trump is a Putin puppet and Putin who blames Obama for Ukraine being free of Russian domination for the first time since Catherine the Great 250 years ago, wants to reestablish Russian domination. Everything Trump does in regard to foreign policy often affecting domestic policy from Europe and NATO to China and all points in between including Turkey, Syria and the Kurds is for Putin and by Putin.

That is Trump is not being influenced by his calls with other world leaders but rather is getting his orders from a single foreign policy advisor or puppet master and relaying those orders so as to deflect from the Putin.

Was Dick Dubya Bush’s hard on for war in the Middle East not bad enough? This Rump-Putin axis is itching for war in continental Europe again. I think the French and Germans remain too smart for that and I think we better pray they don’t get dumb over time.

I was with you up until the last sentence. Which of the involved countries have we declared war on?
