Hard Not To Imagine

 ‘I’m leaving,’ Trump said. ‘There’s no reason to be here any more’: inside the meeting that brought Nato to the brink. Former secretary general Jens Stoltenberg recalls the rollercoaster ride of dealing with Donald Trump – and how close the US president brought the alliance to the point of collapse (The Guardian)

Imagine it will be difficult to do so, but imagine if Trump had the same vitriol, vengeance, and vigor he has demonstrated towards Democrats, Trans People, Hispanics, and Women, and used all that energy and bullying to actually support Ukraine’s democracy…to fight back at Putin, and declare a real enemy of the state, as exactly that AN ENEMY OF THE STATE!

Imagine, and this too will be as difficult as the previous paragraph, if the Republican politicians had the same motivation to serve Trump and, of course, their billionaire puppet masters…and instead placed all of that effort and energy in preserving democracies around the world, and oh, by the way, in the United States!

One certainly must wonder aloud why Trump has acquiesced to the whims and words of Putin. I mean, there is the old story about the “pee tapes,” there is the ongoing news of Trump as a Russian Asset, and there are the constant accusations that Russia helped hack our American elections. Difficult not to imagine why Trump has constantly sided with Putin, isn’t it!
