WH Finds Trump’s Call For Kremlin Dirt On Bidens ‘Disgusting’

White House chief of staff Ron Klain on Thursday took aim at former President Trump’s vocal praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin amid Russia’s unprovoked and deadly invasion of Ukraine, following the former president’s demand for Putin to help him dig up dirt on Hunter Biden.

ThE GOP has a bad case of ‘goppioni’ = GOP Partisan Interest Over National Interest.

Trump, as is his wont, does them one better, valuing his personal interest over everything else.

Giving license to the Dems to tell it like it is. This election cycle won’t turn out like the Russiapublicans hope it will.

Trump may be Putin’s useful idiot, but at the end of the day, Trump is a Russian collaborator. Dems. need to start calling a spade a spade.

Dems. need to say things more like: Donald Trump is a Russian collaborator. “We have Vladimir Putin, who everyday we wake up and see him dropping bombs on hospitals, on schools, on children,” Klain said. “And we have the former president who thinks that’s a great person to try to engage in a political scheme with. It’s absolutely disgusting." The whole country, Democrats and Republicons are working to help Ukraine defeat Putin, and here’s Donald Trump, collaborating with him. Disgusting.

If only a prominent “Dem” had said that before now. Things might have turned out so differently.

“Absolutely disgusting.” One might even say “deplorable.”

Or a absolute disgrace!

I say that specifically since it is one of TFG’s favorite go to’s in just about anything he says. Hit him with a word he seems to embrace. Make him own it.

Example:

Molesting “our” flag was an absolute DISGRAAA-CE!

Have to work on that ragged, wet, deep in the throat rasp when saying it.

Trump has a horror of the human body and of bodily functions. Just suggesting he sweats like a used car salesman who’s blown a sale would fuck him up.

This would be a lot newsier if the White House found one thing about Dr. Cadet Toadlans mit der Bone Spurs von Queens that wasn’t “absolutely disgusting.” Hell, they could expand their search going back to 1946 if they wanted.

Any time the White House is asked to comment on anything Trump says or does, the phrase, “He just can’t seem to get over the fact that he got his ass kicked” needs to be an integral part of every response.

Criminal Trump thinks turning to criminal Putin is going to get him out of trouble?

Donnie is even stupider than I thought.

Not nearly a strong enough statement from the White House. It wasn’t just “disgusting,” it was treacherous, arguably treasonous, and undermines our efforts to rally the world, AND OUR OWN COUNTRY, against the most sociopathic and dangerous World-Power dictator since Hitler. Trump is clearly signaling that he wants Putin’s help (again), and if he can steal another election, he’ll ditch NATO, effectively destroying it, and support anything Putin does. Democrats and the WH need to say this, LOUDLY AND WITH ABSOLUTELY CLARITY.

No one actually likes him in reality. They associate because they think they can use him. He cultivates that. More than likely, as his last hours approach, he will note the friends who did not drop by. Because they were not friends.
