Showing Original Post only (View all)Pelosi & Schumer: Trump "duty is to protect American people, not to sell out our democracy to Putin" [View all]
Washington, D.C. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer issued this statement as President Trump began the NATO Summit and Putin meetings:
President Trumps brazen insults and denigration of one of Americas 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.

OP
I know they need to say this, but do they really think Trump gives a damn what they say or do. IMO

think about the boldness of making this statement while the president is still overseas

It is frightening and baffling why Dems (and Repubs) are not screaming about what he is doing
