Trump's vision of America is being a Putin-like leader - Morning Joe - MSNBC

[TexasTowelie]

Former President Trump is calling for reevaluating America's role in NATO, and he says the greatest threat to western civilization today is 'ourselves and some of the horrible USA-hating people that represent us'. Joe Scarborough weighs in on Trump's remarks.

1. Meaning that he wants to turn this country into the former USSR - where he has control over everything

2. Yet there are some who lack vision and can't see what Trump is leading them to.

I found this interactive link that seems like an apt metaphor:

Pied Piper Donald Trump

3. Good find! Yet I still cannot comprehend why anyone would take such an offensive fool seriously

4. I found an interesting article while I was thinking about the Pied Piper.

The article is nearly two years old, but it could have been written this week and been as accurate:

5. Agreed, that could easily have been written today

And TFG fits both profiles. Speaking of which, who would vote for any candidate with a propensity for lying?? I remember when Jimmy Carter made a promise that he would never lie to the American people - so from then on the American press examined every statement he made for a hint of untruth. Whatever happened to that kind of journalism??

6. Трамп иди на хуй

Trump go fuck yourself.

7. Is there now hope that he'll finally go away??

That was my hope back in 2016 as soon as the presidential campaign was over...
