What a lopsided view from someone with TDS. Cherry picking and misleading

Ironically you have to cherry pick much harder to defend him.

Donald Trump is a complete moral monster and the worst US president in living memory and perhaps in history just based on the last two years. And I was one who thought his first term wasn't that bad and was ready to give him another chance even.

The rest of the world is going to be cleaning up his mess for a generation. He's also fucked over Canada worse than I could even imagine and I'm not even talking about the tariffs.

He benefits from the depth and frequency of his incompetence and corruption as he overwhelms critics and numbs the public with daily scandals that would bring down any other politician.

I don't care what your politics are, or what's wrong with the Democrats. You can't make excuses for Donald Trump.

Fascinating piece.

By now, everyone especially the Journalistic crowd, have to realize that Trump always uses the "Bait" and switch" technique along with or without pure intimidation all the time to get our/your attention. He doesn't like Putin. He is baiting him. It is obvious! He gives Putin a bit of room to find a way to get Russia out of Ukraine gracefully, then reverses his stand when Putin doesn't take the hint. He says a lot of things that seem outrageous, but a lot of them turn out to be true. His biggest problem he has is that he can't help himself from reacting violently and rudely to any criticism. The media has to learn to ignore or play down the obvious rants and stick to facts, not write huge tombs about nothing.

Mr. Potter’s explanation rings more true than yours. You may be correct, but there has been too much instability from Trump in general to support the notion of a grand plan with respect to Putin.

Romance is in the air! First, we had the notion of the US as Canada’s unreliable boyfriend and now Trump in love with Putin.

All kidding aside, this is an interesting take on Trump’s approach to Putin and Zelenskyy.
