Trump Welcomes Putin With a Jet Fighter Escort and Red Carpet
Two presidents of rival countries emerged from their airplanes into a damp Alaskan afternoon on Friday, walking toward a red carpet that cut its way through the steel-colored expanse of a military base.President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, setting foot in the United States for the first time in a decade, had just been escorted into the country by a quartet of American fighter jets. He strode toward Mr. Trump, who was waiting at the edge of the carpet. Mr. Trump, a born producer, seemed to relish the spectacle of the moment, all of the attention it was drawing.
And so he clapped for his guest — once, twice, a third time — before Mr. Putin reached him.
In contrast............
Zelenskyy leaves the White House early after Trump meeting gets heated
One man is a monster, responsible for the countless deaths of women and children. The other an ally trying to fend off an unjustified attack on his country from the former.
The problem is immediately recognizable to anyone who understands Putin does not deserve the reverence with which he was treated by our prez. The jovial smiles, the constant touching, the ride in the prez's limo, are not the way to treat a butcher........and an enemy. Someone who shows disdain for human life. Yet the problem can not be explained to anyone who does want to recognize it. Perhaps is incapable of recognizing it. Like trump.
