Trump claimed that only very stupid people don’t want to get along better with Russia, and by getting along better Trump meant being controlled by Putin.
Read: Samuel Alito Is The Insurrectionist Threat To Democracy On The Supreme Court Video of Trump calling people fighting for US democracy stupid:
Trump said, “Ideally, we want to get along with Russia. Getting along with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. Now, maybe we will, maybe we won’t. Nobody has been tougher on Russia but getting along with Russia would be a good thing not a bad thing. And just about everybody agrees to that except very stupid people.”
It isn’t stupid to protect US democracy from Putin and Russian influence. It isn’t stupid to stand up to a dictator whose dream is to destroy democracy around the world reform the old Soviet Union. Stupid is a man who went bankrupt four times and could no longer get a loan in his home country, so he sold himself out Putin and Russia. Stupid is a president who is under federal investigation for illegal activities with Russia continuing to praise Russia at every opportunity.
Putin and the Republican Party underestimated the American people. They thought that they could put Trump in power and he would be eventually be accepted as a legitimate president. The problem for Trump has been that roughly 70% of Americans are on to him. The Trump presidency is being rejected like a bad organ transplant. Trump is stupid, and his downfall will be that the American people couldn’t be fooled into accepting his Putin puppet presidency.
