Trump was a monumental coup for Russian. For a minimal expenditure, Putin was able to install the greatest traitor in US history in the White House.
Donald Trump’s presidency has been a gift to Russia. He has undermined NATO, withheld military aid to Ukraine, and abandoned America’s commitments to democracy and human rights. He has excused Vladimir Putin’s crimes, yielded to Russian troops in the Middle East, and dismissed Russia’s 2016 election interference as a hoax. Now Trump has been voted out by Americans, but he’s still serving Russia. He’s devoting his final days in office—and suggesting he might devote his post-presidency—to a long-standing Russian objective: destroying faith in U.S. elections.
Putin had cultivated Trump for years and understood far better than American voters what a flawed and dangerous person he is. He put a plan in place to deal with a Trump defeat in 2016 that would cripple the United States. Trump's unlikely victory was a bonus. He got four years of Trump's destruction of American political institutions and now he has Trump and the Republican Party running his playbook to destroy American democracy.
Trump’s lawyers and political allies are peddling the same message. “This election was stolen by the socialists engaging in extraordinary voter fraud,” Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama asserted last week. Others, such as Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, have suggested the same thing. Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida said the ballot counts reported for Biden were no more credible than those reported for “Bashar al-Assad and Kim Jong-il.” In an interview on Fox News, Gaetz added: “Those Dominion software systems? They changed more votes than Vladimir Putin ever did.”
Trump and his enablers are committing treason.
