To quote Matthew Hardy, “Brexit was never meant to threaten Britain’s security. By last week, it was clear that Trump’s America, on which the Tory right has gambled our futures, is a clear and present danger to Nato”. And today, in Helsinki the clear and present danger of Donald Trump has been completely exposed. Today, we heard the White House and the Kremlin speaking in unison.
Trump and Putin, but mainly the former, trashed America in general and its security services in particular. Trump stood there and nodded along as Putin lied by saying that Russia had not interfered in western elections, despite the unanimous conclusion of the security community that they had.
How should we in the UK feel about, a week after a British citizen was murdered by Russian manufactured nerve agents, not long after two Russian exiles were almost murdered by what may well be the same batch of Novichok? Absolutely appalled and disgusted, should be the answer. The UK government should hang its collective head in shame at its miserable inaction but instead our embarrassing prime minister held the hand of the unstable lunatic AKA the leader of the free world.
The war crimes, the state assassinations, the annexations, the murders – none of these matter to Donald Trump. How long before senior Americans call this for what it is: treason.
Sooner or later, whether as a result of Robert Mueller’s investigations, the truth will be out and even the sceptics will realise what Trump is about and what he has been up to. There will be no need for a “told you so” reaction from those who abhor fascism because soon the only people who will support Trump will be fascists.
Above all, Trump loves those who regards as strong men. They love him, not for who he is but because they know why he loves them and gives them all they want. We need to stop appeasement of the unhinged narcissist in the White House because if we don’t the world will be in even greater danger.
Trump’s a fascist, Trump’s a nationalist and if you look the other way, history shows what happens next.
