Well, kind of yes, kind of no.
Trump said he was going to do this before he took office. He said he respected Putin and was sympathetic to his grievances. Obviously the Dems are not responsible for Trump pulling the lever on any of these issues, but you and I both know how political histories are written. Years from now the Dems will be held culpable for losing an election against the most unelectable, odious, unqualified candidate ever to run for president, and for doing so twice. In 2016 as much as in 2024 this was theirs to lose. How they contrived to actually lose it ought to be the subject of much introspection.
