The Way of the Democrat


For John, BLUFWe are used to a fair amount of pussy-footing around with our politicians, except for Mr Donald Trump, and those responding to him.  It would be entertaihing if it wasn't so irritating.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From PJ Media, by Mr Rick Moran, 26 February 2022, 9:34 AM ET.

Here is the lede plus four:

Vladimir Putin is a vicious, unprincipled thug whose goal is nothing less than the humbling of the United States by any means necessary.

He is not only the enemy of western civilization; he’s the enemy of human civilization. So why is Donald Trump cheering this gangster on?

He is “pretty smart,” Mr. Trump said on Wednesday at a Florida fund-raiser, assessing the impending invasion like a real estate deal.  “He’s taken over a country for $2 worth of sanctions,” he said, “taking over a country — really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people — and just walking right in.”
No doubt Trump has his own reasons to say nice things about Putin, and one of them is certainly that it’s causing the heads of his political enemies to explode. For his own amusement and that of his supporters, Trump frequently acts the contrarian — and the media and left fall right into his trap every time.

But most Republicans — including Trump supporters — have condemned the invasion and Vladimir Putin.

The words of Mr Trump are all true, plus there are a lot of tone-deaf people out there along the two coasts.

Mr Trump was just saying it the way it is.  President Putin is smart and cunning.  And Mr Putin is ruthless.  Those are just the facts.  On the other hand, if Mr Trump hopes to be President again there is no point in deeply offending those he may have to negotiate with at some future date.

But, he is Mr Donald J Trump, and he offended a lot of people by defeating Ms Hillary Rodham Clinton.  They seem unwilling to forget, and any handy slander will be employed.  It is childish, but it is the way of the Democrat.
