CSotD: A Well-Respected Man
Skip to comments
We’ll start the rundown with a portrait of world leaders by David Rowe, with Donald Trump in the center and his babysitter at his feet. You may notice that it’s not a terribly flattering portrayal, but if you look around the world, you’ll find there aren’t a great many flattering portraits of Dear Leader.
Much of the mockery stems from his recent telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin, which he described as “great” on Fox, but which sparked laughter and public mockery in Moscow as Putin left him waiting for an hour:
Dave Brown depicts Putin as having reeled him in on the phone call, when it finally happened.
While the British magazine, Private Eye, made a mockery of Trump’s claim that he had made great progress in his negotiations over ending the Ukraine war but still had some complexities to work out, the complexity in the magazine’s opinion being that he was handing over to Russia more than just Ukraine.
(They’d already been a bit disrespectful in their previous issue.)
Patrick Blower capitalized on reports that Putin and Trump had discussed a US/Russia hockey tournament in the course of the two-hour call, depicting Putin literally skating rings around the American.
Russia was recently left out of a four-nations tourney and has been banned by the International Ice Hockey Federation for its invasion of Ukraine. It was also forced to compete as “the Olympic Athletes from Russia” rather than under its national flag in the 2018 Olympics because of doping violations, all of which makes Trump’s agreement to stage a tournament a potentially controversial sign of where his loyalties lie.
Morland made this commentary following the phone call.
But he was already on the record with his opinion of Trump, which you will note extends to the people who put Dear Leader in a leadership role, though it could be interpreted as a commentary on the state of our intelligence operations, with Tulsi Gabbard in charge and Donald Trump her superior.
If that makes anyone feel better.
Trump’s relationship with Putin is no secret even in this country, and Bagley points out how what had been rumored is now being more publicly admitted, given Dear Leader’s switching of sides in the Ukrainian war as well as his cheerful report on that two-hour phone conversation, despite its being mocked in Russia as a triumph for Putin.
And Sharon Murdoch suggests that the bright torch of liberty can be seen as no longer in service, even as far away as New Zealand, thanks to Dear Leader and his sidekick.
However, do not despair for Donald Trump, who still has the support of loyal commentators in this country:
Benson points out that he and Musk are striving to move forward with their program despite the steady flow of temporary restraining orders and court decisions declaring their actions illegal and unconstitutional, which she dismisses as frivolous.
And Chip Bok mocks the notion that the judiciary could have any real ability to put restraints on what the executive branch wants to do.
While Dana Summers dismisses concepts like due process and “innocent until proven guilty” as the stupid fancies of cross-eyed, buck-toothed delusional nitwits.
And so will you, if you know what’s good for you. Dear Leader learns from his friends.
