Letter in the NYT – thanks to Mike C.
I don’t understand why we are not talking about this:
Remember that Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, worked for the pro-Putin Ukrainian government. Remember when support for Ukraine was removed from the Republican Party platform in 2016. We thought it fishy then; well, now it’s beginning to smell even more.
President Trump withheld approved funding to Ukraine and tried to blackmail President Volodymyr Zelensky into providing a political favor — a corruption investigation into Joe Biden.
Mr. Trump wanted the U.S. to withdraw from NATO He devised a plan, reversed by President Biden, to take troops out of Germany. And all of this seemed completely bonkers at the time.
Now Mr. Trump called Vladimir Putin a “genius” as he invaded Ukraine. At what point do we seriously consider whether Mr. Trump is a Russian operative?
