Many are trolls in love with their Troll-in-Chief.
I have no idea what Mrebo’s problem is though.
I think it’s hilarious that such simple and good advice needs to be presented to him like he’s 5 years old and he’s still unable to follow it. And at the end of the day, this doesn’t change anything.
“An American president does not lead the free world by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections,” said Sen. John McCain
(I meant to post this earlier but I forgot)
It was also offensive when Trump congratulated Duterte. The phonecall with Putin was an opportunity for Trump to express U.S. opposition to Russia’s actions on the territory of an ally and Trump should have done so.
Ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned and died in London in 2006. In 2012, Obama congratulated Putin on winning the election. Obviously the timing of the two events was different. And I’m not excusing Trump or saying Obama was right or wrong. These are facts and historical context. Also of note, Obama signed a law a few months after congratulating Putin that imposed sanctions on certain Russians for the killing of a lawyer in Russia who exposed corruption (which really annoyed Putin and led to Russia prohibiting Americans from adopting Russian children). Right now the Trump Administration is looking at the possibility of further sanctions and other diplomatic actions against Russia.
The constant outrage some express about everything Trump does and doesn’t do must be tiring. I think a bit of gallows humor goes a long way.
