Did we wake up in Russia yet?

The daily democracy death march continues as President “Wannabe King” Trump sides with Putin, calls Zelensky a ‘dictator’ and blames Ukraine for Russian invasion.

“Trump, in other words, has ordered Lil’ Marco to give Russia whatever they want and to hell with Ukraine,” writes Thom Hartmann for Alternet. “It’s a complete betrayal of Ukraine, America, democracy, and our European allies.”

Trump even incoherently blamed Ukraine for Russia invading them, killing their people, stealing their children, and destroying their cities:

“Well, you’ve been there for three years. You should have ended it three years. You should have never started it.

“You could have made a deal. I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have given them almost all of the land, everything, almost all of the land, and no people would have been killed and no city would have been demolished and not one dome would have been knocked down.”

‘King Trump’ is just taking another stab at authoritarianism right in front of our eyes.
