How Many Autocrats Does It Take . . .?
. . . To help elect Donald Trump, our very own American fascist?
Cheeto Benito's love and admiration for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is a given, and he's up to his eyeballs in Russian influence and dirty rubles. Travels to Russia? Meetings with Russian officials? The Trump administration has done it in spades. It's public knowledge.
Now we find out that Don Jr., a.k.a. Sonny, took another meeting in 2016 before the election. Not with Russians this time. It was with an Israeli social media "manipulator," a representative for both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and Erik Prince of Blackwater infamy, now a right wing Big Money Donor and brother of anti-Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. This meeting was arranged by Prince for the purpose of helping Don Frito win the election.
As most people know, any foreign involvement in American elections is strictly illegal. But Donnie don't care! In fact, he encourages it, wants to do more of it, and is pissed when he can't.
Let's review: Russia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel. That's the count so far. How many foreign countries with autocratic strong men wanted Trump to win? And why? Mr. Mueller has a few more questions.
In affairs both foreign and domestic, Trump is just an asshole with delusions of grandeur and no regard for rules or laws-- kinda like The Brain from the old cartoon Pinky & The Brain.
Trump's words from last November:
"The saddest thing is that because I'm the president of the United States, I'm not supposed to be involved with the Justice Dept. I'm not supposed to be involved with the FBI. I'm not supposed to be doing the kind of things that I would love to be doing. And I am very frustrated by it."
