- Original Article Summary:
In a recent flare-up, former President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin over his praise of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump reportedly said he was “pissed off” at Putin for backing Zelenskyy, and he threatened potential sanctions against Russia “if a deal isn’t made” to end the war in Ukraine. The article frames Trump’s comments as erratic and unhinged, suggesting he’s trying to look tough on Russia now that he’s running for president again, despite past praise of Putin. The piece implies that Trump’s position is inconsistent and politically motivated, designed to appeal to voters who might be critical of Russia’s invasion but still support Trump’s “America First” rhetoric.
Here’s What They Meant To Say
Trump Dares to Question Putin, and Suddenly the Left Cares About Consistency
Ah, the liberal media’s favorite pastime—pretending to be foreign policy experts whenever Trump opens his mouth. Now that President Trump had the audacity to call out Putin for praising Zelenskyy, the same media that spent years shrieking that Trump was Putin’s puppet is in full panic mode. Apparently, when Trump threatens sanctions and demands a peace deal, it’s “erratic.” But when Biden stumbles through a teleprompter and sends billions to Ukraine with no endgame in sight, that’s “strategic diplomacy.”
A Taste of Their Own Hypocrisy
Let’s get this straight: Trump says he wants to end a war and hold Russia accountable, and the left somehow twists that into a bad thing? The media can’t decide if they want Trump to be a Russian agent or a war hawk—so they’re having it both ways. And of course, they ignore the fact that under Trump, Putin didn’t invade Ukraine. That happened on Biden’s watch, but don’t expect a think piece about that anytime soon.
Maybe If Trump Whispered His Threats and Tripped on the Way Out, They’d Call It “Presidential”
It’s always amusing watching the left tie themselves in knots trying to undermine Trump—especially when he’s doing the things they’ve been screaming for. But since it’s Trump, they’d rather complain about his tone than acknowledge he’s doing what their precious President Sleepy Joe hasn’t: telling Putin to knock it off.
