Putin, Trump putting America at risk

I cannot believe that more people don’t see the connection between Putin and Trump. They are working together on two goals.

One is to have Russia totally take over Ukraine. If Trump really wanted to end the war, he would supply Ukraine with all the munitions Ukraine needs to defeat Russia. He would not invite an authoritarian war criminal onto American soil and honor him with red carpet treatment.

All of Trump’s efforts against Putin are simply for show, words and bluster but nothing that hurts Russia. It just gives Russia more time to pummel Ukraine.

Secondly and even more terrifying, Trump is systematically destroying the USA piece by piece. This effort is certainly at Putin’s request (order) because Putin owns Trump.

Trump has destroyed our standing in the world. He is in the process of bankrupting our country. Our free and fair elections are at risk. He is removing all the safety nets for our most vulnerable population, attacking long standing and important institutions by gutting their funding and staff and threatening private businesses and universities. Our health care is under attack. Congress has been neutered. Sensitive and private information was allowed to be accessed by unvetted private citizens. The Supreme Court has basically given him carte blanche on major issues and where they have disagreed with him, Trump just ignores the court’s orders.

There are more examples, but you get the idea. Our Constitution is being shredded.

This is blatant treason. Trump and all those who are enabling his actions must be held to account for the internal attack on our democratic republic. Our freedom is a grave risk.
