Mona Charen: Thank God Trump isn't president right now
triblive.com ^ | March 13, 2022 | Mona Charen

President Biden is not very good at his job, and yet, I thank God every day that Biden is president. In the Ukraine crisis, he has redeemed the hopes of those who voted for competence. The administration’s warnings to Moscow were unambiguous without being hysterical. Our revelations of intelligence unmasking Russian disinformation and false flag narratives were on the nose. Biden’s coordination with European allies was a skillful presentation of unity (special kudos to Secretary of State Antony Blinken).

There were some missed opportunities. The president should have placed the invasion of Ukraine in a broader historical context and outlined how the struggle between democracy and authoritarianism is the defining issue of our time, whether abroad or at home. And he ought not to suggest or pretend that Americans can be spared any hardship, even higher gas prices, during this fight.

But Biden sees clearly what sort of menace Russian President Vladimir Putin is. Only the most obtuse or twisted soul could fail to see it … which brings us to the president’s predecessor.

A quick refresher on former President Donald Trump’s relations with Putin and Ukraine leaves little doubt that far from deterring Putin, he was Putin’s most reliable “useful idiot.”

Trump wasn’t the first president to go soft on Putin, of course. Barack “Tell Vladimir I’ll have more flexibility after the election” Obama plowed that ground very well. But at least Obama knew what he was doing. He chose diffidence and called it wisdom. Trump was a dupe and a dope, a walking refutation of the adage “you can’t kid a kidder.”

At Trump’s first meeting with Putin, he accepted the Russian’s denials of election interference

A vote for Biden was a vote for competence?

Dunno what she’s smoking, but it has got to be some powerful stuff.

Bush League Republicans have never been on our side.

They have always been Assistant Democrats.

That’s why we have an open border and 30 million plus illegal aliens.

It’s sobering to know there are people like Charen in the US who think Biden is doing a good job!

For those that think November will be a cakewalk for the GOP, I present Mona Charen.

“Biden’s coordination with European allies was a skillful presentation of unity”
Bootlicking 101, Psaki logic.
The doddering old fool didn’t know what country he was in, or what he was doing there. Skillful my ass.

Poor Mona. I remember when she was coherent and even sort of intelligent.

Mona Charen is Exhibit 1 for why the 19th Amendment needs to be repealed.

And here’s another Neocon breaking out of her cocoon, waving a Ukraine flag. Anyone else see a pattern?

The Ukraine Crisis would not likely be happening if Trump was president...

Biden’s puppetmasters helped push this situation to war...

Idiot.

"But Biden sees clearly"

Biden can't find his johnson, let alone see anything.
