Republican Senators Tell Trump to go hard on Putin at Zelinski meeting in Florida

My late grandmother and late father in law both shared a Trump trait: When anyone asked them NOT to do something, they'd do the opposite just to spite you.

Aside from being Putin's bitch probably over Epstein blackmail evidence, no one tells the moron, who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, what to do.

I think it’s because he loves Putin. He would like to be just like him. Trump sees nothing wrong with him.

MAGA is being diverted away (and diverting themselves) but there’s way too much there there for it not to gain traction with them. As you said though, Trump values Putin WAY more than he values MAGA and always has.
