“A deal with a bum is a bum deal.” A very savvy man told me that, and he was right.
Much to my dismay, our President Donald Trump is attempting to make just such a deal when he says that Ukraine is responsible for the Russian invasion of a sovereign nation. Even worse, he is at least verbally showing support for three of our (America’s) enemies.
First off, Russia’s Vladimir Putin is a murderous thug who deserves nothing but prison. He is responsible for the deaths of a number of Russians who questioned his actions. Putin is supported by North Korea whose leader is essentially on a par with him, possibly worse. North Korea is largely supported by China, another communist nation whose goal is world domination.
These actions, if taken by Trump, the man I supported for president, would cause me to call for his immediate removal from office. I hope and pray that my views are wrong.
President Trump promised to always put “America first.” Showing support for three of the most dangerous and evil countries on planet earth does not support that view.
