If there’s one word that best describes failed former president Donald Trump, according to former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, it’s “creepy,” especially when it comes to how utterly subservient he is to Russian president and war criminal Vladimir Putin.
During a panel discussion, Turnbull noted that around Putin, Trump is “like the 12-year-old boy who goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero.’ It’s really creepy.”
That led CNN’s Christiane Amanpour to ask Trump’s niece, Mary, about what in her uncle’s past might have led him to act in such a way.
“I’m really stunned by how what you said and I didn’t know what you’re going to say about his childhood matched exactly what a former prime minister of Australia witnessed.”
Mary Trump replied, “Yeah, and I think what’s important to know, that most people certainly wouldn’t, it is really no laughing matter when at that point the leader of the free world is being described as a pre-pubescent child with a crush on an older, more powerful person. What the consequences are.”
“It’s not simply that Donald knew that by fulfilling his father’s demands to be the quote, unquote killer, to be the successful one, it was understanding what would happen to him if he failed to do those things because he had an object lesson in my father, who was quite literally destroyed by his inability to fill the role my grandfather required of him,” she added.
Donald Trump is obsessed with Putin. And that alone means he’s unfit to serve as president of the United States again.
