Trump Helps Putin Tick Through Russia's World Affairs Wish List | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Traitor Trump is selling out America as fast as he can to Putin, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and any other country that’s willing to interfere in our elections on his behalf, or put money in his family’s pockets. This is how democracy dies.
@Mike Higgins The GOP wins because they unite behind their leader, no matter what. Bernie endorsed Hillary when she won the nomination, just as Ted Cruz endorsed Trump – that’s how grown-ups do politics. But the Bernie or bust people went into a sulk, stayed home, or even voted for Trump, just to spite Hillary and the DNC. Like little kids. If Biden gets the nomination, Bernie and Warren will get behind him, but the kids will go into a sulk again.
Trump won because Putin’s disinformation machine succeeded in demonizing Hillary and the DNC, and the kiddies fell for it. Now it is demonizing Biden and the DNC, and the kiddies are falling for it again.
@Mike Higgins MIKE – people seem to forget the Clinton DNC she-nanigans regarding Sanders. I voted for Sanders in the NJ primaries but refused to vote on election day. I consider Hillary to be a more polished version of Trump – just as amoral & corrupt!
…and the Republicans in Congress helping him.
Putin’s wet dream of making Russia great again is within reach thanks to Trump bowing to his will.
Agreed.
Biggus Dickus : Putin was INCHES away from being put in his box, forever, in 2016: economic meltdown. Until the Trump saved him. Rachel’s book is awesome, if depressingly hair-raising. And, this, “ceasefire,” will end at the same moment that the last American Chopper leaves. No American witnesses. Then the atrocities will resume . . . SMH
*Traitor TrumPutin And His Inbreds need to be in jail ASAP for rapping America*
@Paul Nolan Maybe he meant “rapping us in corruption, deceit and Russian rule”? (or… he just misspelled “raping”. Take your choice *LOL* )
Mohsin Qamar : And, this, “ceasefire,” will end at the same moment that the last American Chopper leaves. No American witnesses. Then the atrocities will resume . . . SMH
*Raping*
Trump is a lawyer’s graveyard.
Dj S Lol. When your lawyer(s) need lawyers. I guess it sounds like good idea if you are at the very bottom of the barrel of legal to take a shot.
Trump is a graveyard for anyone who gets close to him. Everything Trump touches dies. He’s a toxic contaminant.
more, more, more………………………..
putin OWNS trump
And owns trump’s mouth and butthole
And Trump loves it. He is using America while idolizing those communist leaders.
Defund the White House. 100%. And de-fund everything related to Trumps, his staff, and family. It’s taxpayer money, and he doesn’t deserve 1 cent of support or funding.
Cease all trump properties and pay his bills
Ken Albertsen good idea
Ooooo, Nice. Simple. I like the cut of your jib.
Another words, BOYCOTT TRUMP!
But where would he get a million per week to golf and millions for lawyers? Never mind, I hear Putin’s got a few bucks. Trump will be OK. Whew.
How could anybody now deny that Trump is a Russian asset? They clearly own him no matter how you look at Trump’s actions over the last three years.
Their own minds cannot grasp the reality of him being this bad. Imagine that. Too disgusting. Trump just takes advantage of their foolishness.
Brian Allen Actually, Trump loves people like *you*. His supporters, the “poorly uneducated”. 😂 And you think he’s talking about democrats who despise this cowardice traitor? You really are stupid. Keep sipping that orange kool aid. Cheers 🍻
Putin helped him win, this is the price for doing it again.
Kay Ivey … hi friend. Stop. Change gears.
Return to America and American news.
The petty, uncool bickering is irrelevant.
Yes MULVANEY, the whole country is going to GET OVER YOU and Trump! jail is waiting, waiting,
Barr and Durham expedition stinks to high heaven.
Our US Attorney General really has nothing better to do than to chase butterflies around the world.
Follow the money. America is a Worldwide laughing stock and being bleed dry by Trump but 40% of Americans don’t care.
The ‘ tRump 40%’ is not US cutizens but it is 40% of registered VOTERS. Inform the young and old. Help someone who didn’t participate in the last election. Tell them this might be THE LAST ELECTION.
I recently saw a video of a Trump supporter saying that basically, she didn’t want to live under a dictatorship. But if Trump was the dictator, she’d take it. This is where we are, folks. I hope that you’re ready because if Trump really did make some kind of deal for cybersecurity with Russia, we’re in for the fight of our lives. Trump has made a deal for the election and to ensure that he’s not going anywhere, ever.
You know whats messed up? Because the popular vote doesnt matter, because we still have the electoral college, his 30ish% could get us all another 4 years of this. VOOOOOOOOOOTE!
Mafia Trump’s voters are deplorable arrogant racist moron poor without education.
D Trump can’t plead that he “relied” on bad legal advice when he committed his crimes. He’s a liar and criminal. Lock him up.
D D Will that argument have any standing when Giuliani ends up in that same prison cell? Interesting!
👏👏👏
and take all of the Trump money.
His man-child excuses won’t cover him anymore.
The speed at which 45 is handing Putin anything he wants is astonishing. Fifteen more months of this! What will be left of the US?
not much……someone needs to take him out now
If you have Senators like Mitch McConnell and others doing the same thing how are you going to stop it. The Russian business being voted in to Kentucky by misinformation. They are moving in pretty well and then they will tank the economy and take over. They are doing it in plain sight.
No one will be surprised if he takes Air Force One and flies to Russia and gets asylum.
There’s probably a fully-furnished dacha in Moscow’s suburbs, just waiting for the harmful-to-America Trump family. Their thug associates can occupy smaller dachas nearby.
@Okkie Trooy Except that Trump has a lot of dirt on Pence.
I wonder if the Air Force One crew would allow that.
@Okkie Trooy *”Why would Pence do that? Trump has no power than anymore and no benefits for Pence if he pardons Trump.”*
No offense, but that seems like a stupid question. *”Why would Pence do that?”* He would do it for the same reason that Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon. Nixon made a deal to hand Ford the Presidency of the United States in exchange for a pardon after Nixon resigned.
Benjamin Bierley
😂 😂 😂
How much longer America? Get it done – lock him up!
Here in Europe we don’t really think the US is sending the best.
PENCE (and Mother) 2020!!
@Jeff F hey Jeff put your meth pipe down your not thinkin’ straight
Not while Trump and his Republican klan is in rule.
If Trump can happen to the US, democracy is indeed a very delicate thing in the context of capitalism. We should be a warning to the world.
Sofus here in Europe we should be very worried about what is going on on the other side of the Atlantic…
Let’s see, ratting on the President for his crimes will somehow be spun as ‘revealing State Secrets..’ Where have we heard this line before?
Rachel , It would be easier to list the crimes that Trump has not committed.
Well, there’s arson… as far as we know. I’m sure there are others, just give me a few minutes…
Very true!
Let’s think on that…. Crickets crickets .
He hasn’t cut the tag of bed mattress, yet.
This stupid ‘every body does it’ excuse has never gotten a child out of trouble with normal parents.
EXACTLY LOLOL
WHEN I WOULD TRY THAT WITH MY MOM SHE WOULD SAY–IF EVERYONE JUMPED OFF THE BRIDGE ARE U GOING TO FOLLOW/
Hes a really big toddler.
So Trump style and the brain pathways of those who follow him.
Trump’s growing list of offenses merit FAR MORE than mere impeachment.
I think there’s enough here to label him a traitor of his own country. He’s clearly doing Putin’s dirty laundry.
@Imaculata – More than enough!
Agreed. He is a traitor that needs his wealth and property confiscated and thrown out of the country.
Organized crime!
And rethugicans who vote not to impeach and remove are traitors too
Maga is a lie.
Self enrichment will *always* be his priority
