Although Coward-in-Chief Donald Trump has repeatedly capitulated to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, a Republican congressman said today that Trump can be trusted to negotiate a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine because “nobody’s going to take advantage of Donald Trump.”
That absurd quote comes from Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), who was a guest on “Face the Nation,” and was asked by host Margaret Brennan, “Vladimir Putin, it sounds like you would agree, is an accused war criminal. He is a dictator. There is a warrant out for his arrest, as you know.”
“President Trump floated inviting him to the U.S. or even visiting Russia himself,” she added. “Do you think any of that is appropriate?”
“It’s more appropriate than not talking to him for the last two years, which is what President Biden did,” Crenshaw responded.
“Talking is different than inviting him to the United States,” Brennan reminded the congressman.
“You can parse it out however you like,” Crenshaw replied. “But the reality is, is you’re going to have to get him to the table somehow.”
Crenshaw also noted that Trump is “good at flattering people in order to get them to the table.”
“But flattering a very brutal dictator who’s pretty cunning, frankly,” Brennan noted. “You really think that’s a winning strategy?”
“He’s not that cunning,” Crenshaw insisted. “I think let Trump do his campaign promise and play this out. Look, nobody’s going to take advantage of Donald Trump.”
Despite what Congressman Crenshaw says, the facts suggest otherwise when it comes to Trump’s ongoing capitulation to Putin.
Earlier this week, Trump told reporters that Ukraine will have to give up some of the territory Russia has stolen from them since they invaded three years ago.
“Trump said Wednesday that he had talked to Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding it was unlikely that Ukraine would get back territory occupied by Russia or that it would eventually join NATO,” according to NBC News.
“Trump appeared to sympathize with Russia’s perspective, saying it ‘fought for that land’ and ‘lost a lot of soldiers.’ He declined to say, however, whether Ukraine would be an equal partner in any negotiations.”
In other words, Trump has already been taken advantage of and sold out our Ukrainian allies. That was Putin’s plan all along, and now his buddy Donald is ready to give him anything he wants.
