Media, Dems Putin’s Patsies

Democrats and especially the media are doing what Putin wants them to do. Putin wanted some of our uranium supply and both Hillary and Obama allowed it to happen. If Trump had been president then, the Russian would have gotten nothing. Putin doesn't like the fact that we are practically energy-indepen­dent and may compete with him for the European natural gas mar­ket. Obara presented no problem and Hillary would have con­tinued Russia's ability to earn billions from the sale of oil and gas without our competing.

Putin loves having Democrats and the media attacking Trump. After investing over $100 million in Hillary, Putin could have pressured President Hillary to do what he wanted her to do. He invested nothing in Trump and is being punished by Trump's poli­cies and actions. I wonder if many of the ones that believe Trump is colluding with Putin also believe in Santa Claus and the Easter bunny. As long as Democrats and the media can distract the president with nonsense, he can't accomplish all that he wants to do. Putin likes that.

If Trump changes the terms of the Iran nuclear deal and we can send inspectors to any targeted location where we believe there are nuclear weapons without warning the mullahs in that country, we might discover Russian equipment and materials, which would infuriate Putin. If Democrats got their way, Iran might have nuclear weapons for their missiles within a few years. They may still get their way if they throw Trump out of office.

Another nation that can't control Trump but might have had an easier time with Hillary is China: If Hillary had acted pres­idential, we might not be on the verge of denuclearization on the Korean peninsula. She would have gone along with the TPP treaty and might have said it was important for trade. And I doubt she would have decreased income taxes or helped the econ­omy as much as Trump has.

I don't care if porn stars claim they had sex with Trump. At least he didn't force himself on them like Clinton had when women he attacked came out against him and Hillary tried to de­stroy them. I doubt Trump will have a Lewinsky-like problem that he would lie about.

Putin would love to have the Democrats take back Congress in November because it would frustrate Trump and his plans. Demo­crat and media collusion with Putin and the Russians would be worse than the imaginary collusion Trump supposedly has. With Mueller giving Democrats false hope and Putin hope that Trump will be thwarted, maybe CNN actually stands for Collusion News Network.

Pravda might be envious of the job our media is doing against Trump.
