Same reason most people who were old enough to remember the UK's sick man of Europe days voted for Brexit. They don't care about anything other than what they perceive as winning so long as it's only other people who experience the consequences.
Fawning over Putin is a way to associate himself with someone he perceives as being a strong, macho leader. It's rather pathetic if you ask me.
Let's stop beating around the bush, this incident proves one thing: the man is deranged.
Talking up Biden's cognition is dirty pool when the other guy is this openly insane
well played..
*doffs hat
...
The orange wind-bag proving once again he's a mindless moron and traitor:
Trump says he would 'encourage' Russia to attack Nato allies who do not pay their bills
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68266447
It's no surprise that the UK Torygraph has gone from full-Brexit ("Make UK Great Again") to supporting Trump: for example the appalling Camilla Tominey yesterday.
To-day's Sunday Times is not much better: take this from Camilla Long: "Biden has been a disaster for America; he has created chaos on the world stage. He's mess up Ukraine, Israel and Afghanistan". She goes on to blame Biden for the US border crisis.
What's almost as outrageous and worrying as Trump himself is the fact that he has such prominent fellow-travellers in the UK media.
The cold War only worried poor people
It isn't really surprising when you look at the tories, from their financial backing to their policies and the media outlets associated with them.
Trump is indebted to Russian and Saudi individuals and institutions. He's not going to attack either of those states when he's in their pockets.
And after Tuckers party political broadcast on behalf of Putin, Trump probably thought it was a good idea to further caress his ego with what amounts to a show of unity between the two. All it lacked the other evening , was Putin strutting onstage and raising Donald's clenched fist in his own.
Trump could do or say literally anything to his core support and they'll yeehaw and holler till the cows come home. If he went to Reagan's graveside and announced him as his VP running mate, I'd say there'd be a few there willing to dig up the corpse. It's utter madness over there, but it's a juggernaut that can't be stopped at the minute. The Republicans can't control the monster they created. And the Democrats are relying on a very old man to stop him.
The US is deeply split and will be for at least the next decade. Not until Trump has left the political landscape and his lackies crawl back under their rocks will it begin to heal.
All that is, is Trump telling the world that he is for Sale and if he is President, the US are for Sale as well.
He sees everything as a binary transaction. Loyalty, Honour , Keeping promises or anything else as silly as that mean nothing to Trump. Unless he is getting something out of it, he's not interested.
There is no depth he wouldn't sink to if he thought there was money to be made.
I used to find it amusing when I encountered a Trrump supporter in work or somewhere online, but after his comments yesterday re: NATO, I have to take a long hard look at anyone who is continuing to support him.
He shouldn't be allowed to speak about anything, anywhere.
He is an unintelligent man child, dangerous.
Having lived throughout the Cold War in the UK, I don't recall anyone being worried about it whether they were rich or poor, probably because hardly anyone believed that anyone would be stupid enough to press the button. Of course it didn't stop some people building fallout shelters, just in case. 😛
There were even jokes made about it, with it being suggested on one occasion that, to be able to give a three minute nuclear attack warning twenty fours notice would be required.
That era was a walk in the park compared to the crap that's going on now as there are a lot of unpredictable idiots with access to nuclear weapons now.
Trying to get the Swifies on board.
He thinks Taylor would not be anything with him.
Definitely afraid of her, ha ha.
her meek response: 'it was an honor to serve muh country'
Tell me you're terrified of Taylor Swift and her influence without telling me you're terrified of Taylor Swift.
I guess someone passed him the numbers, summarised in crayon.
Works on different levels too.
Ah here, dementia confirmed.
The only true words in that whole rant are the first two and the last three.
She's got herself a real man, Donie boy.
So two articles related to Trumps alarming Nato speech
THIS now is more urgent than ever - "As Putin and Trump threaten from east and west, Europe must stand up for itself"
And on a wider theme but also very related:
The Russians have been trying for literally decades to weaken NATO and America was the bulwark against them. Imagine Reagan saying that the then USSR could attack a NATO country and the US would stand by and do nothing. There’d have been outrage from within his own party.
The one time Trump might have vaguely tried to pretend to be a functional human in the wake of that report criticising Bidens faculties.
And instead he decides to take a running leap onto the batshit crazy train after downing all the bigmacs and horse tranquilisers he can find and starts cheering on Putin against NATO and claiming credit for Taylor Swift's career.
Hes like a broken down virus riddled ChatGPT bot. Not a braincell left.
This:
“Ich bin ein Berliner.”
—John F. Kennedy, June 26, 1963
“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”
—Ronald Reagan, June 12, 1987
“I would encourage [the Russians] to do whatever the hell they want.”
—Donald Trump, April 10, 2024

He needs to be stopped from speaking.
Tape his mouth up, cuff his hands and legs.
Keep him on an isolated area away from the rest of the world.
January 2025 perhaps ..
Trump is a very very dangerous man and could put the world in worse peril than it is with his big gob. Putin must be cheering on his cyber army to further manipulate the American electorate into voting for him as the prize is looking ever more attractive.
I could think of ways, but I’d go to prison and then to hell.
