Trump favors revenge over national interest
No more excuses for Trump. Do we remember the criticism heaped on President Obama for not acting on his “red line” of preventing more chemical attacks in Syria? Obama was pilloried.
Trump’s numerous passed red lines against Putin’s Russia are termed “unpredictable” when in fact they are amoral, inept cases of indecision and vacillation far worse than Obama’s.
Wasn’t the latest Trump red line to sanction Russia just days before Trump threw out the red carpet for the war criminal in Anchorage?
It’s also notable how Trump’s retribution against any who resist his corrupting influence can be normalized as “promise made, promise delivered,” as if Trump was elected........
