Republicans: “Daddy and daddy are fighting.”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Russia had blackmail on all of them, but trump thinks nothing can hurt him now.

Which in a way is true, but only because Republicans couldn't hold him back if they wanted to, because Russia is telling them to go along with it.

Russia's last move was always going to be burning trump.

They'll pull all support, tell the rest of the Republicans to attack him, and release everything they have. Including evidence trump was working for Russia while president.

Either it happens now, or right after he leaves office. Putin has always wanted to cause as much damage as he can

"It's about other daddy that loves butt stuff."

It performative. It’s becoming too obvious even to republicans that Trump is owned by Russia.

They’re making these public statements so their propaganda machines have something to use to claim Trump isn’t owned by Russia.

"Emotional" is the perfect way to infuriate insecure "macho" men (anger is an emotion by the way)

Do you think that this post by Trump is strategic, or just responsive? I wasn't going to think it was strategic, but on second read, it loomslike it wasn't written by Trump himself.

Don't worry, Putin will tighten the genital cuff and Trump will stop banging on his pots.
