The Betrayal

It is mean-spirited, dictatorial and a betrayal of the worst kind. Throwing Zelensky under the bus comes easy to Trump because he wants to “make a deal” so long as he can say, “I stopped the war!” At what cost? It doesn’t matter to him and siding with the “bad guys” comes naturally to him as well.

The world is calling it a “disgusting betrayal” and rightfully so. The 47th president who is obviously in cognitive decline has openly sided with Russia and went so far as to say, “Ukraine should have never started the war.” Lest we forget, the war was launched by Vladimir Putin in February of 2022.

Trump didn’t stop there. He further added that Zelensky played Biden like a fiddle and called him, “a dictator without elections, Zelensky better move fast or he is not going to have a country left….Europe has failed to bring peace, and Zelensky probably wants to keep the ‘gravy train’ going.” What a bunch of BS!

He has conveniently forgotten that Zelensky is the victim here and Putin the aggressor but things like that are small peanuts to the man who thinks he is running the whole show. The tirade has gone viral signaling not only that the cuckoo has flown the nest but that it is never coming back! Every day something new of the unsavory kind but that is nothing new where Trump is concerned! It is showtime folks and it’s ALL about the “deal.”

Lord Have Mercy!

The Man of the Hour

The first western interview between Putin and Tucker Carlson was “the best thing that ever happened to Vladimir Putin” according to Belgium’s former Prime Minister, Guy Verhofstadt. The 2-hour interview was a love fest between the two men with Tucker hardly getting a word in as Putin took the reins and let loose.

This song comes to mind:

“You walked into the party

Like you were walkin’ onto a yacht

Your hat strategically dipped below one eye

Your scarf it was apricot

You had one eye in the mirror

As you watched yourself gavotte.”

Putin had neither the hat nor the scarf but he knew exactly what he was doing. This was his opportunity to rant or rather “free speech” on his terms. His 30-second history lesson became a 30-something minute rant as the world watched in disbelief or as a friend put it, “It was enough to make your toes curl!” The suspected war criminal went full steam ahead and wasn’t going to be stopped, not by the former Fox News host, Tucker Carlson. It was his time to shine on the world stage and with his essay about denying Ukraine’s existence as a sovereign state safely turned away in a vault somewhere, he didn’t need it, he had it memorized word for word. Delivering the message with his beady eyes burning with conviction, he marched on to his own drumbeat.

He ranted about any and everything because he had to keep the interview going for two hours and that evidently was no problem. He could have gone on much longer and it didn’t matter that most of it was far from actual facts or reality. It was Putin’s reality and truth and that folks was what the interview was about.

When the interview was over, Tucker blinked with a clueless look on his face and said, “Thank you, Mr. President,” at the same time tucking his tail between his legs. If ever there was a lap dog, well, you know what I want to say.
