QOTD -- Friends And Enemies

 

Tom Nichols writes in The Atlantic about the unhinged Malignant Loser's recent comments about letting Russian war criminal Putin have his way with NATO allies:

... Americans outside of Trump’s personality cult—at least those who have retained any ability to be shocked—should be stunned at this kind of betrayal of American principles and America’s allies. Here in the United States, we have become accustomed to treating Trump like an angry child, ignoring his outbursts the way parents ignore a toddler who shouts threats and claims to hate mommy and daddy during tantrums.

But other nations do not see an overaged juvenile; they see a man who once held the keys to the U.S. nuclear arsenal and could once again become the commander in chief of the American military. They are watching him because they believe—as they should—that he is telling them exactly what he’ll do if he returns to office.

Trump’s spokespeople will likely try to clean up his remarks by saying he was merely playing hardball with recalcitrant European freeloaders. But anyone who’s watched Trump and his servile fascination with Putin long enough knows the truth: Donald Trump would make the United States a friend to the Kremlin and an enemy to NATO. Putin knows it, and after today, so should every American.  (our emphasis)

Spineless Florida Republican bootlicker Sen. Marco "Li'l Marco" Rubio has already tried pooh-poohing the Malignant Loser's disqualifying remarks, as you would expect the li'l gusano to do.  

It's a craven cult willing to put America and its allies in Putin's crosshairs.  They're enemies of America just as much as Putin.
