Trump hits a new low if that is even possible any longer.
Three Americans and thirteen others who had been taken as political prisoners/hostages by the Russian state were freed in the recent swap with Russia.
Trump, who had constantly bleated that Putin would only release them to him and that he would pay nothing for them, had to figure out how to respond to the images of overjoyed family reunions and public praise for Biden, Harris and the administration.
At his GA rally this past Saturday, he figured it out: he publicly congratulated Vladimir Putin “for having made another great deal” and lied that Biden & the Democrats paid Putin money as part of the deal.
Let that sink in: he publicly praised the authoritarian dictator of one of our greatest foreign enemies who had kidnapped and held American citizens hostage in prison under the guise of false charges.
And to no one's surprise, no one in the Republican party, the RNC etc. made a peep about it. They are totally on board with supporting Putin in his relentless march to destroy the rule of law, democracy and freedom around the world, even when their own citizens are caught up in his illegal behavior. I say no one is surprised because the Republican party and its members are supporting the same thing here with Trump.
This was the same rally where Trump repeatedly attacked the Republican governor, Brian Kemp, who had the outrageous audacity to not support Trump's attempts to steal the 2020 election in GA.
Again, not surprising for Trump, but so un-American in every way. A normal person would be deeply ashamed of trying to steal an election and certainly after being caught red-handed doing so, a normal person would take accountability and work to make amends. Trump boasts about it and attacks those who had the courage and integrity to stop him. That should be a super clear signal to every American as they consider who to vote for; hopefully people are paying attention and ignoring the endless spin the Republicans and Trump campaign continues to promote.
