Trump and Putin want the same thing

It’s intuitively obvious to casual observers around our shared planet that Vlad Putin and Donald J. Trump want the same thing: the elimination of the good old USA. Is there any other answer to this statement? Let us briefly examine just recent events and actions.

We grow cattle in this country, yet we are giving Argentina $20 to $40 billion in cash to buy their beef. We have 40 million Americans today not receiving paychecks and soon to be void food assistance. Yet we’re building a Trump palace, flying ICE Barbie in new airplanes, hiring ICE thugs on a daily basis to steal people off the street. We have abandoned Ukraine, yet we were starting made-up wars with Colombia and Venezuela, and anyone who is not a MAGA country, as perceived by Trump.

We now, like Russia, have fully weaponized our government against perceived political enemies. We throw out aggressive tariffs on our best trading partners, resulting in the average American businessman and our people getting screwed by daily cost escalations. Think back on how Trump berated our friends in the U.N. with his nano brain of divisive nonsense speech.

How about the red carpet for his buddy Putin in Alaska with another private ride in our country’s limo. You can’t be that blind to the fact that Trump and Epstein did naughty, and Putin has the pics of young Donnie in Moscow watching you know what. Simply put, Vlad has the “kompromat” on our boy. What else can it be?
