Trump supporters and conspiracy theory - Part 2

[Richard Smith]

Donnie is always praising his puppet master Putin.

Since Donnie is washed up and his political career is over GOP Senators have thrown him under the bus after his praising of Putin. The backlash was finally too much for them to take and Moscow Mitch McConnell decided to dump Trump. Let's not forget these same GOP Senators all took Russian money and covered up for Donnie's crimes.

Yes, he is washed up!  LOL.  Keep hoping and trying to undermine the democratic process like Putin.

"Donald Trump won the Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll on Sunday, with 59 percent of respondents saying they would vote for the former president in the 2024 presidential primary."


And a puppet of Putin:

"The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling, it's an outrage and an atrocity that should never have been allowed to occur.  We are praying for the proud people of Ukraine. God bless them all."

Republicans will remind Tucker Carlson's viewers of Trump's praise for 'enemy' Putin in new ad



As missiles rain down and thousands are dying across Ukraine, the Republican Accountability Project is intent on reminding Fox News viewers that former president Donald Trump thinks Vladimir Putin's war is "genius" and "savvy."

A new TV spot from the group, which is set to air next week during Tucker Carlson's show, lines up Trump's praise of Putin - shaking hands, accepting a soccer ball, etc. - against powerful images of bandaged and wounded Ukrainians and demolished buildings. Trump is heard gushing over Putin, saying, "He's going to go in as a peacekeeper ... there's more army tanks than I've ever seen ... he's going to keep peace all right."

Sarah Longwell, RAP's executive director, surely doesn't agree with Trump's assessment. “Vladimir Putin is an enemy of the United States and an enemy of democracy. It’s unconscionable that a former U.S. president would call a tyrant like Putin ‘smart’ as he attacks innocent people.”

The Republican Accountability Project said another right-wing network, Newsmax, refused to air the ad.

Yeah, a mix up. LOL. All these right wingers should just admit they are white nationalists. These lame excuses they give makes them look even worse.

Trump's former ICE director showed up at white nationalist conference — but claims it was a mix-up: report



On Thursday, the Huffington Post reported that the one-time director of former President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement showed up to the Orlando, Florida hotel where the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) — a gathering headed up by white nationalist organizer and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes -- was taking place.

However, he claims the whole thing was a misunderstanding.

"HuffPost has learned that Thomas Homan, the director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement under former President Donald Trump, showed up to AFPAC," reported Christopher Mathias. "He claimed to HuffPost that the whole thing was just a mix-up, and that he left the hotel quickly, before the conference began."

""Before introducing the first mystery speaker, Fuentes issued an apology. His first choice, he explained, had a family emergency. Thomas Homan, who oversaw the Trump administration’s brutal anti-immigration policies as head of ICE, had arrived at AFPAC, Fuentes claimed, but had to rush away. He sadly wouldn’t be speaking," said the report. "Homan confirmed to HuffPost in a phone call this week that he had indeed arrived to speak at AFPAC. His assistant had arranged the appearance, he said, and Homan said they may have confused Fuentes’ group for another one. 'So many names of conservative groups sound the same,' Homan said."

Homan drew controversy in 2018 when he refused to acknowledge the conditions at Trump's border camps were inhumane.

Fuentes' gathering, which was punctuated by support for Vladimir Putin during his invasion of Ukraine, attracted several Republicans in elected office, most notably pro-QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). This drew condemnation from other Republicans, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), and GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker, who is Black, pulled out of an upcoming campaign event with her.

A phony statement you keep posting. Why did Donnie go on a right wing radio show and praise Putin again?

Here’s what Trump told conservative radio hosts Buck Sexton and Clay Travis last week:

“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine – of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.” - Donald Trump

Phony?  It's a direct quote taken from his CPAC speech.  Anyone can watch it and conclude which of us is telling the truth.  Trump often compliments Putin.  It was part of his tactic to appeal to his ego.  A tactic that avoided war during his administration.  How are things working out under Biden?  He is two for two with Russian invasions during both the Obama and now his own failed administration.  Trump has, in no uncertain terms, condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Just posting a lot of nonsesnse over and over again does not change that.  Sean Hannity suggested that Putin be assassinated.  That doesn't sound like he is supporting Putin.  But again, here is a direct quote from Trump on the issue.  Anyone can read it for themselves and reach a conclusion on which of us is telling the truth:

"The Russian attack on Ukraine is appalling, it's an outrage and an atrocity that should never have been allowed to occur.  We are praying for the proud people of Ukraine. God bless them all."

Criminal Donald is a Russian stooge and a puppet of Putin. He's been praising him for years and even more recently since Putin is slaughtering innocent people in Ukraine with a mass genocide. Donnie said "Putin is a genius" and "savvy" for ilegally invading Ukraine and now innocent children are being slaughtered and entire towns are being bombed out. Trump said that is "genius". This man is mentally ill. A normal thinking person would never even give praise ONE time for this illegal act. Criminal Donald has publicly praised Putin at least THREE times since the illegal invasion. He put out a phony statement to take the heat off himself since he was getting hammered worldwide with condemnation but then he goes right back to praising Putin again on a right wing radio show. You don't give a full throated endorsement of an illegal invasion and then all of a sudden pretend to condemn it. It doesn't work that way, especially when you double down on the same praise a day or two later. Nobody in their right mind would praise an evil murderous dictator ONE time. Donnie did it at least THREE times since the illegal invasion began. Donnie is a sick man. Look at the deranged eyes of that psycho screaming.                 



Donald Trump calling Vladimir Putin a ‘genius’ was no mistake

CNN — On Wednesday, GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham insisted that former President Donald Trump had made a “mistake” when he referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin as a “genius” for his invasion of Ukraine.

But a mistake implies that Trump did it once – unintentionally misspeaking in a way that didn’t represent his actual views.

Which is, um, not what Trump did.

Here’s what Trump told conservative radio hosts Buck Sexton and Clay Travis last week: “I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine – of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.”

The day after he made those comments, he effectively doubled down on them. “They say, ‘Trump said Putin’s smart.’ I mean, he’s taking over a country for two dollars’ worth of sanctions,” Trump told a crowd at a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, according to a recording of the event. “I’d say that’s pretty smart. He’s taking over a country – really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in.”

Then, in a speech at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend, Trump, again, repeated his praise of Putin.“Yesterday reporters asked me if I thought President Putin was smart,” he said. “I said, ‘Of course, he’s smart,’ to which I was greeted with ‘Oh, that’s such a terrible thing to say.’” I like to tell them, ‘Yes, he’s smart.’”

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, well, I must be just plain clueless.

And it’s not just these three times that Trump has praised Putin. Not even close!

There was the time on the campaign trail in 2016 when Trump said this: “The man has very strong control over a country. Now, it’s a very different system and I don’t happen to like the system, but certainly in that system, he’s been a leader. Far more than our president has been a leader.”

Or that time in 2017 when Fox’s Bill O’Reilly called Putin a “killer” and Trump responded:“There are a lot of killers. Do you think our country is so innocent? Do you think our country is so innocent?”

Or that time in 2018 when, after meeting with Putin in Helsinki, Trump took the Russian president’s side on the issue of meddling in the 2016 election. “I think that the United States has been foolish,” Trump said. “We’ve all been foolish. We’re all to blame.”

See, the thing is, Trump’s praise for Putin is a feature, not a bug. He has long admired Putin’s strongman tendencies and the power he exerts over his people.

Which means you shouldn’t buy what Graham is selling here. Mistakes are things people do unintentionally and then try to fix. Trump’s praise for Putin’s invasion doesn’t fit that bill.
