Schumer And Pelosi: Trump's Insults Show He's More Loyal To Putin Than NATO

Source: Talking Points Memo

-snip-

Read the full statement from Pelosi and Schumer.

“President Trump’s brazen insults and denigration of one of America’s most steadfast allies, Germany, is an embarrassment. His behavior this morning is another profoundly disturbing signal that the president is more loyal to President Putin than to our NATO allies.

“If the president leaves the Putin meeting without ironclad assurances and concrete steps toward a full cessation of Russian attacks on our democracy, this meeting will not only be a failure – it will be a grave step backward for the future of the international order and global security. A successful meeting means real action, now.

“The president needs to remember that, as Commander-in-Chief, his duty is to protect the American people from foreign threats, not to sell out our democracy to Putin.”

Donnie will grovel and Vlad will smile. We should pray that it fails.

Whereas Trump will sit on the floor, happily wagging his tail, while Vlad rubs him on his combed-over head.

What Putin wants: (1) Crimea to be acknowledged as part of Russia, and (2) the sanctions lifted.

What Donnie Two Scoops wants: (1) to build Trump Tower Moscow, and (2) to please his Master.

Guess who's going to get what they want.

None of them (except Rachel) will use the word "lies"- it's always an "untruth" or "exaggeration" or "misstatement".

Isn't that like using thoughts and prayers against Putin? Anyone that believes any utterance of Trump and/or Putin now are fools.
