Trump’s European Trip 7-9-2017

9, July 2017                          Trump’s European Trip

It is no accident that Trump chose Poland as his first destination city in Europe. The Polish government bused thousands of spectators from around the country and promised a free picnic at the defense ministry as a reward for cheering enthusiastically for Trump. It was strange that Trump promoted Christian values in his speech which he has done much to undermine. He has sold billions in weapon sales to countries like Saudi Arabia which have been used to stile descent, commit genocide in neighboring Yemen and export Islamic fundamentalism throughout the world. Oh, how Jesus must be weeping!

Not surprisingly, reporters were locked out of the Putin-Trump meeting to protect Trump from answering embarrassing questions. The warm effusive meeting will have negative consequences. Buoyed by Trump’s total unconcern for promoting democracy, the rule of law and human rights, Russia has already used its iron fist to crackdown on dissidents. Last month, more than 1,700 people were arrested for peaceful protests — the largest number of arrests in a single day in decades including Aleksei Navalny, the anti-corruption, anti- Putin activist who was attacked physically and is facing a slew of trumped-up charges. Gay men have been attacked in Chechnya. The meeting was a huge victory for Putin who got Trump to cast doubt on their 2016 election hacking. But in a “brilliant” move Trump suggested that Russia and the US share cybersecurity threats. The fox guarding the henhouse? Oh, what cruel irony! When will the sycophants and enablers break their silence?
