BAD BROMANCE
Trump: It’s Not Treason, It’s ‘Diplomacy’

President Donald Trump is keeping his treasonous performance next to Russian president Vladimir Putin alive by repeatedly talking about it. Much like the child who is never given constructive criticism so they are unable to process any negative input at all, Trump continues to defend himself from bipartisan accusations of treasonous behavior.
And rather that try to understand the criticism so he can grow emotionally into adulthood, the billionaire baby is tweeting to defend the indefensible.
Yes, Trump committed and act of treason. No, he should never be forgiven for it.
But try telling that to the 71-year old “dotard,” as North Korea’s dictator has called him.
“I got severely criticized by the Fake News Media for being too nice to President Putin,” Trump lied.
When someone shoots you, and you encourage them to do it again, that’s not being “nice,” that’s being stupid.
“In the Old Days they would call it Diplomacy. If I was loud & vicious, I would have been criticized for being too tough. Remember when they said I was too tough with Chairman Kim? Hypocrites!”
Trump also sucked up the North Korean dictator.
Some responses via Twitter:
Donald Trump’s diplomacy has two modes:
Supplicant.
Global thermonuclear war. https://t.co/VLwjZw5YDs— Matt Ortega (@MattOrtega) July 20, 2018

All you do is attack allies and praise despots. You’re a joke.

Nooooooo . . . you did not get criticized by media (all sorts), politicians (all sorts), Americans (all sorts) and people of the world (all sorts) for “being too nice.” You are being confronted and called out for you continually carelessness in word and deed.

Also, nobody would call it diplomacy. The right word for Trump’s behaviour with Putin is treason.

It’s telling that Trump thinks calling someone names is being very tough. It goes to his addled mind, deep vanity, and profound insecurity. https://t.co/bH5DHYtSoW

In the Old Days our presidents weren’t under active criminal investigation for colluding with foreign adversaries they were trying to conduct “Diplomacy” with pic.twitter.com/uY18s0wqcc
