He wants a deal with Putin. A deal that neither helps Ukraine or The US

pattytallent.bsky.social•71 days ago

Is this the end of the world as we know it? It feels that way

scottinclearh2o.bsky.social•71 days ago

It's not a mystery.

dneumde51.bsky.social•71 days ago

Obviously with Putin his lover. WE MUST GET THIS TREASONOUS TRAITOR OUT IF OUR WH!!! MILITARY WHERE ARE YOU. WE HAVE PUTINS SERVANT IN OUR WH, THATS THE ENEMY. STAND UP FOR OUR CONSTITUTION.

Please join me in visualizing a shield of protection, in addition to all military protection, surrounding Ukraine, and surrounding President Zelensky.

Ukraine was never a threat to Russia, yet Putin used propaganda, lies, and force to justify an unprovoked war. It’s a desperate bid for power at the cost of innocent lives. No spin can justify war crimes and suffering. Ukraine has every right to defend itself, and we must stand against this tyrant

annagreyhound.bsky.social•71 days ago

Trump has been siding with and working PUTIN since 2016 I say he is KGB

jacwithaq.bsky.social•71 days ago

Putin. Definitely Putin.

yolowinr.bsky.social•71 days ago

Putin won't stop there. Putin has talked about how little United States paid for Alaska, $25 million

Putin has talked about wanting Alaska back.

We need to start talking about that cuz that makes it more personal for Americans even right wing re-dumb Trumpers

Trump has always planned to throw Ukraine under the bus. It’s all about the grift and breaking our country while he lines his pockets.. oh yeah, and stays out of PRISON.

jacrowley.bsky.social•71 days ago

Ask yourself “What would Putin do?”, then you’ll know what Trump plans.

lylescout.bsky.social•71 days ago

When Trump spoke about wanting peace during the campaign, he meant cozying up to dictators.

jrmed9870.bsky.social•71 days ago

He wants to suck putins dick and eat putins asshole

thisisme7.bsky.social•71 days ago

You know the answer to that is he, JR, and Eric said they don’t need money from American banks they have all they need from Russia. Trump has been a traitor since 1987.

postalraul.bsky.social•71 days ago

He seems to want a WW3 Match with us against The World 😳.

thegreenchair.bsky.social•71 days ago

I thought collaborating with the enemy was an impeachable offense. Did I miss something?

kirielondon.bsky.social•71 days ago

He made a mockery of the American Presidency today. I would love to know what he believes he personally will gain from backing Putin's agenda. At some point, it has to occur to these old men that their time will pass and the devastation they have caused will land in the laps of their children.

jackandsarahmcg.bsky.social•71 days ago

Trump is a Russian asset owned and operated by Putin.

slyonce.bsky.social•71 days ago

it was definitely a play for putin.

shakemupnow.bsky.social•71 days ago

The Felon could care less about Ukraine, he’s driven by greed and the fantasy of being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, but that dream is consistently shattered by his lack of courage, knowledge, ability, humanity, and respect. Trump is drawn to evil like a moth to a flame.

The Truth Behind Trump Tower Moscow: How Trump Risked Everything For A (Relatively) Tiny Deal

Trump on one end & Putin on the other, the Web of people involved in Trump's plans for Moscow included members of his Family, oligarchs & Russian officials

billwsmithjr.bsky.social•71 days ago

He never truly cared about Trump Tower Moscow. It was the billion-dollar loan Putin arranged through his oligarchs that Trump loved. If Putin called that loan due, Trump would have been ruined.

redpillrevolution.bsky.social•71 days ago

That was then

bob-good.bsky.social•69 days ago

That whole thing with Zielinski was a show for Putin. The Russian News Agency was there and they're not allowed in the White House. It was all planned.

myfiona.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’ll guess the second one is the right answer.

maggienorth.bsky.social•71 days ago

To hear Trump whine about how he and Putin are kindred spirits that shared "hell" bestowed upon them by the Democrats was priceless. It also revealed how much he, Trump, will come to Putin's defense.

dano50.bsky.social•71 days ago

I think it’s obvious from the mountain of overwhelming evidence of American betrayal you cited on your show: Trump is beholden to Putin in myriad ways and is Putin’s literal puppet. Trump is clearly Putin’s most valuable asset who must now “fulfill his obligations.”

He wants to join forces with Putin and take over the world, Rachel

winemighthelpnow.bsky.social•71 days ago

Trump just wants Putin to like him so Ukraine is like a birthday gift he can’t wait to wrap up in a big red bow.

vector28.bsky.social•71 days ago

The deal with putin is a done deal, now trump is on the hook to make it happen …

therealmrsweary.bsky.social•71 days ago

Putin.

gorupa24.bsky.social•71 days ago

Why would we ever think that an individual who is beholden to Putin, would stand up and do the right thing. Of course he is working for the best interests of Putin. Not for democracy.

billwsmithjr.bsky.social•71 days ago

Trump owes Putin over a billion dollars, plus "interest".

conceitedbutch.bsky.social•71 days ago

All Trump deals are deals with Putin- he's Putin's puppet.

fernhopper.bsky.social•70 days ago

Why do you think Putin has so much influence over Trump? Death threats? Money? Blackmail?

lestatdelc.bsky.social•71 days ago

Trump is the enemy of the United States and the free world, and is an extension of Putin.

Wake up.

abraveeagle.bsky.social•71 days ago

He has given justification on why he will withdraw funds to Ukraine.
A pure and simple set up
that was Plan A
Plan B "This is going to be great television, I will say that"

Pretty sure the only deal Trump wants to do with Putin requires special knee pads.

It was always to give Putin whatever he wants… how quickly we forget, how Putin aired Melania’s sex tape on Russian television.

Putin owns Trump. “To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations,” Patrushev told the business daily https://newrepublic.com/post/188284/vladimir-putin-donald-trump-election-obligations

catmomcny.bsky.social•68 days ago

Felonious 47 is attempting to dismantle everyone’s idea of what we thought was real. What is real?

When are Republicans going to stand up to the constitution?

When are the Christofacists going to be excommunicated from the human race?

When will it be safe for an early 21st century woman?

curtismaurand.bsky.social•71 days ago

Donald Trump just signaled that he will abandon Ukraine making the US weaker.
