"SNIP......

“Donald Trump condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and said he was praying for Ukrainians, switching tone from his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week,” Reuters reports.

Said Trump: “The problem is not that Putin is smart, which, of course, he’s smart. The problem is that our leaders are dumb… and so far, allowed him to get away with this travesty and assault on humanity.”

CNN notes he even called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “a brave man

.......SNIP"

1. Is this the first time Trump has gone against Putin?

[agingdem]

10. he didn't backpedal...he covered his ass

the orange maggot is all about perception(wealth, self-made, mental acuity)..vapid Ivanka probably had a lap-chat with daddy dearest...said kissing Vlad's ass, calling him a genius were bad visuals...so he tempered his fawning praise..Vlad=smart/leaders=dumb..he praised Zelensky only because he was savvy enough to co-opt the narrative and look good doing it...visuals...

2. There's a reason for his madness

Always something in it for him. He makes me sick..he doesn’t give a rat’s about anyone.

3. the people who worship trump will deny he ever supported putin. they are nuts

[JudyM]

4. None of them can get their storied lies straight.

Watched faux snooze for a brief time, maybe 5 minutes, in which Biden was accused by the same talking head of both being weak by not helping Ukraine enough and also costing taxpayers too much by helping Ukraine. Stupefying.

8. Dyslexics work in small little narratives. They keep their narratives

separate. Then they take some of those narratives and make a big picture on that. They test it out and either count or discount it. Then they take another bunch of short and separate narratives and make a big picture on that. If Trump the Dyslexic is trying to appeal to other dyslexics (10 to 15% of the population) the stories do not have to match as they would in one long narrative. It is the scientific method of sussing out reality. Trial and error. Hypothesis. A whole bunch of assumptions come into play when you tell one long narrative that fits. Why would reality have a beginning and middle a climax and and end? That is for language people who got power by their ability to bond over long stories and create the human constructs that make civilization. Two diametrically opposed ways of perceiving the world. If 10% to 15% of Americans are not defending the long stories that came before (like democracy (which is a long story)) and will connect better with little short narratives that don't follow each other and you want their votes you might talk like that too. And pepper each little narrative you give them with lies is what he is doing. Like freedom is a Republican thing rather than a democratic thing make it to the top with completely separate (yeah right) freedom convoy in Canada on the right. ASTRO turf 100s of little freedom narratives to be on the right (parental rights in schools=freedom) and on and on. That is what Republicans do on the right... they turn dyslexics into liars (Reagan, Bushes 1 and 2, Trump was always a liar. Not to be confused with dyslexics who are most often not liars: Washington. Teddy Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Kennedy, Churchill, Woodrow Wilson). But in the last few days the narrative in Ukraine has been so dynamic, with so many little stories of Ukrainians being so brave and Putin so reviled, that the bullshit machine on the right was no match and the dyslexics would hypothesize and then keep what a colossal needless horror this war is, and what attack on freedoms really look like, top of mind. So Trump and Tucker backtrack. They are no match for reality with so many moving parts and little narratives and emotional moments as this Ukraine War has. Reality breaks through.

5. Mirror mirror on the wall

Which former guy is most culpable of all?

[Hoyt]

6. Yeah, he went to far for his most hateful admirers. Too late MFer.

[live love laugh]

7. Is this from the Onion?

[gratuitous]

9. Sorry former guy

But you've got PutinLoserStink all over you.

[czarjak]

11. YOU LIE! Piece of Puke. But thanks for the unsolicited testimonial.

[multigraincracker]

12. TFG needs glasses because

he can only read when it is written on the wall.

[onethatcares]

13. oh, fuck, he's praying

on the upside down bible probably.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

14. The Orange MAGAT King praised Putin and his war, and he owns it forever.

Thank our lucky stars that this fascist asshole is not POTUS right now.

[DFW]

15. "our leaders.......allowed him to get away with this travesty and assault on humanity"

First and foremost of whom was the man he sees in the mirror every morning.

[Papa-Ron]

16. Can't wait for him to announce he's running.

Those who use attack ads have been given a ton of FACTUAL comments by this jerk. Can you see him praising Putin during any debate.....man o man, the 2024 election cycle is going to be too freaking much fun, is it not.
If any R wants to beat this POS, just use his own words to silence him.

17. Trump and Putin are birds of a feather

He is nothing more than Putin's puppet. Has been since day 1.

Putin, Trump, Xi, Kim Jong-un - these are the most dangerous people on the planet right now. If the free world stands any chance of surviving into the future we need to be standing united and strong against them.

[BlueIdaho]

18. Too Late You Monster.

You can’t un-ring a bell.

[Vinca]

19. There's no way to erase history and he enabled Putin. His cult - the ones who actually

had a golden statue of him - are now cheerleaders for Putin. What a disgusting, vile, amoral piece of excrement.

[Tom Rinaldo]

20. It was just another attack against Biden, not against Putin

The last sitting U.S. President attacking the current U.S. President while that President works to rally the world against Putin.
