Schumer: Donald Trump Is ‘Despicable’ for Praising ‘Thug’ Putin
Breitbart ^ | 02/25/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/25/2022 8:21:17 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that former President Donald Trump was “despicable” for praising Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Schumer said, “Putin will come to regret this. Look, he is a bully. He is a thug. He has a monomaniacal desire to restore the Soviet Empire. But he will ultimately fail.”

Schumer is despicable for intentionally lying about what Trump said and why he said it- He knows full well Trump was mocking Putin- yet schumer- a man of no principles at all it seems, keeps right on lying through his teeth-

President Trump “praised” Putin like Patton “praised” Rommel.

But, seriously, our indoctrinated, not educated, “liberals” are simply too stupid to understand that.

What better way to celebrate a new Biden debacle than to kick off a fresh Trump hoax!

I’ve watched this creep for decades and almost every time he opens his mouth, he confirms that he is a pathological liar.

Thugs and goons can have moves, too. Hence the expression ‘evil genius’ which, when it suits them, liberals use as a form of praise.

I think Schumer himself is a criminal, but he has managed to outsmart more than one opponent.

If Putin were stupid, he would not be where he is.

And calling your enemy stupid won’t defeat him.

As a newbie, more or less, I observe from time to time "fault lines" between conservative voices, depending on the topic. Sometimes disagreements can be heated.

BUT......

The unanimous dislike of senator Schumer shows conservative voices at their best. Between him and Pelosi, the Congress -- which has increased the nation's debt $30 trillion dollars in twenty-two years -- the United States has two crooks who are also buffoons.

Unanimous agreement. Detestable people. And Democrats....

Please forward to Schumer.
Quoting Freeper Wuli: “To admit an adversary is smart and even smart enough to outsmart your own stupid leaders is not “praise.”

Thank you Wuli!!!

In context, Trump calling smart Putin was referring to the crafty tactical means of Putin:
“I mean, he’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart,” while contending that if he were still president then Mr. Putin would not have invaded, and that Biden had not done enough to dissuade this, and referred to the unfolding events as a “very sad thing for the world and the country.” (WSJ)

And instead of sanctions reducing the Russian spigot supply: Although on April 15, 2021 the U.S. Department of the Treasury instituted multiple sanctions actions against Russia under a new Executive Order, yet that Spring imports of Russian oil to the United States reached their highest level in a decade, and Russia became the second-largest exporter of oil to the US that year.

Meanwhile, as regards overall Russia Exports to United States:

Exports to United States CMLV in Russia averaged 5930.21 USD Million from 2006 until 2021, reaching an all time high of 17537.80 USD Million in December of 2021 and a record low of 444.30 USD Million in January of 2007. Also, Russia Exports to United States: Exports to United States CMLV in Russia averaged 5930.21 USD Million from 2006 until 2021, reaching an all time high of 17537.80 USD Million in December of 2021 and a record low of 444.30 USD Million in January of 2007.

Such praise never happened. Why does Breitbart write the headline like this as though this was a factual event Schumer was commenting on?

Schumer has modeled his leadership style in the US Senate much like Putin leads Russia - both are bullies and thugs.
