No one thought the Trump- Putin Summit in Helsinki was a good idea. People were even a little more sure Trump should NOT meet alone with Putin. No one got what they wanted. Trump defiantly went to the Summit in spite of a series of actions by Special Counsel Mueller that showed deep Russian interference with the 2016 US Election and continues to “meddle” (apparently Meddle is the new word for “Attack”) in the nations elections.
Walking out to meet the world press it was obvious the threats and promises of destruction should Trump get out of line from Putin had deeply effected Trump.
Whether Putin pulled out his cellphone and showed Trump some humiliating video, mentioned that the Election results had been tampered with (which is more and more likely) or any number of other possible compromising acts that deflated the usually puffed up and animated Trump. The one thing that was the same was his insincere tone, frequent lies and distracted delivery. A fidgeting, fumbling mess who we know now was admittedly tongue-tied by Putin’s “brilliance”.
At the podium Trump sounded deflated and outright beaten while Putin was in his glory, feeding lines to the American president he had created and compromised. Like sign language chimp who lacked subtlety or nuance, Trump trashed America to please his master. Right up to the moment they literally played ball (with world cup soccer ball) Trump showed he would totally PLAY BALL in every way with Putin.
Putin stood before the world as its most ruthless super criminal and the greatest blackmailer in all of History. It was Mike Tyson versus Peter Hurricane McNeeley. Trump should have sold advertising on the soles of his shoes the way he weent down and sucked carpet in his glassjawed confrontation with Putin. Trump all but waved a white flag.
‘HIS MASTER’S VOICE’
The numbers were already bad for Trump, who in most polls has over 50% of Americans disapproving of his actions. In most polls he has about 35-40% approval on his best day. Thats WITH an irresponsibly high tax cut bribing people every pay day. In other words- people really hate president Trump.
In a rare address to the nation, which included no questions from the media and an extra harsh “Its over GET OUT!” from the White House Communications staff, who have learned that the president will blow up his own cause on his own with the ‘throw away added on lines” that have so marked his presidency.
Today, in one of his show “Cabinet Meetings, the “president” tried reading a script of poorly crafted lies in disinterested fashion. He mentioned that he has simply misspoke and was actually tearing in to Putin and we all just missed it. It wasn’t the least bit believable and left dozens of other terrible statements from Helsinki unaddressed. It may have made things even worse.
Trump has still not ever addressed the American People in any kind of fireside chat or Oval Office address. He has not held a Q & A with the media since February 2017 hen he defended General Flynn (who has since admitted to treason)
This was a big deal. The last 24 hours have seen the Trump presidencies unsustainable trajectory finally starting to erode.
Is this the End of the Beginning or the Beginning of the End?
