Donald Trump, Russian stooge, channels Putin in the White House; When will Republicans defend the country?
IMPEACH AND REMOVE TRUMP
Trump stands with Putin.
We stand with Ukraine, Europe, and the United Nations Charter.
BACKGROUND
1) Andrew E. KramerConstant Méheut and Anton Troianovski, “Zelensky and Trump Trade Blows as Feud Escalates Over Peace Talks; President Trump called Volodymyr Zelensky a “dictator” after the Ukrainian president took issue with his statements on the war with Russia,” New York Times, February 19, 2925 (2:04 p.m. ET);
2) Pjotr Sauer and Luke Harding, “Trump calls Zelenskyy a dictator amid fears of irreconcilable rift; Remark follows Ukrainian leader’s claim US president living in a Russian ‘disinformation bubble’,” The Guardian, February 19, 2025 (13.38 GMT):
3) Robert Jimison, “As Trump Turns Toward Russia and Against Ukraine, Republicans Are Mum; Congressional Republicans have mostly tempered their criticism or deferred to the president as he topples what were once their party’s core foreign policy principles,” New York Times, February 19, 2025;
4)Nicholas Kristoff, “With Trump’s Prostration to Putin, Expect a More Dangerous World,” New York Times, February 19, 2025;
Winston Churchill served as Prime Minister in a Conservative and then national unity government in Britain from 1940-1945. No elections were held after 1935 for 10 years while Britain was fighting World War II.
Donald Trump is crazy to criticize Zelensky for not holding elections when Putin has not held free elections for decades, if ever.
What can we expect from a crazy President who is reportedly a Russian asset and who seems to be channeling Russian propaganda and Putin from the White House? As the last weeks make clear, Trump is not merely an “asset”.
He is a Russian stooge.
Trump says Ukraine started the war. Really?
Congress must remove Trump at the earliest opportunity.
