Trump finally suspecting that Putin is a bad guy

by Gabriele Bonafede

It is not easy to make Trump and his followers understand economics, international relations, history, geography, physics, math, astronomy, diplomacy, trade, tariffs, logistics, supply chain and a few more matters.

Indeed, before Trump and trumpists understand anything, you have the time to kill a donkey by hitting it with soft figs. The same goes seemingly for Brexiteers, or UK’s leavers who voted Leave and did not want to leave.

Yet, that donkey is showing signs of unrest – somehow. In fact, even Trump is now suspecting that Putin is a bad guy. Maybe he is finally understanding at least part of the reality.

Trump finally suspecting that Putin is a bad guy

In a recent meeting the President of United States told reporters: “I’m not happy with what Putin is doing. He’s killing a lot of people, and I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin.”

Really? Was the wheel already invented a few years ago?

Trump later added on social networks: “I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever,”

That comes after years of Putin’s war crimes of all sorts: razing entire cities to the ground, starting a gruesome war, killing children, women, everyone on purpose. Unleashing bands of criminals to torture, rape, pillaging. For decades Putin has been blackmailing in a mafioso-style every bordering country, including allies.

Well… finally it looks like Trump and his hardliners are starting to understand. It looks like the parallel world of MAGA movement is showing cracks, allowing to see a glimpse of reality. Sure, only for a few subjects. Do not dare to hope about much more.

Will be it enough to change Trump’s foreign policy? Maybe. After all, wheels are spinning since long in the textile industry. Cars are rolling since long and Homo Erectus got to know how to control fire around two million years ago.

Meanwhile, the donkey keeps getting hit by soft figs with scant effect.
