Donald Trump fell into the trap. Many warned him not to be manipulated by Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin. On the foreign policy side, his meeting with the Russian president in Helsinki was largely unsuccessful. For his overly submissive attitude, however, for three quarters of an hour publicly displayed in front of the world audience at a memorable press conference, the President of the United States is now a mbadive beating.
Friends and enemies, Democrats and Republicans. "It was the most serious mistake of his previous presidency," said Newt Gingrich, a Republican leader and a strong supporter of Trump. It must be corrected immediately.
The bad thing for Trump is not even that critics call his performance "treacherous" or "shameful". Worse still for the outgoing President of the White House, almost no one jumps from his own troop to the side. Even the quotes of Fox Trump for hours those who do not care. International Trump is even derided: "Putin's Poodle", headlined the "Daily Mirror" in the United Kingdom. Arnold Schwarzenegger, ex-governor and actor of "Terminator", calls Trump "the fanboy Putin"
The echo in the country is so devastating that Trump deals damage one day after the summit. He said after reviewing the transcript of his statements at the press conference that he had promised, Trump said Tuesday.
Clearly: Russia has been ingested in the 2016 presidential election, admits Trump at the same time. This is exactly the opposite of what he said in Helsinki: he saw "no reason" why Russia should have interfered, he said. Although the political heavyweights reacted shockingly to these remarks, Trump had more than 24 hours to correct his course. For example, ABC presenter George Stephanopoulos, former White House member for Bill Clinton, hinted that the American public might have known world history with the failed spectacle of Helsinki. . , Trump's close confidant, Newt Gingrich, demanded a public clarification
Trump did not pay much attention when appearing with Putin. When asked at the end of the press conference and after four hours of intensive talks, he believed the US intelligence services or the Russian president, who had just denied the interference in the US elections from 2016 he tried a diplomatic balance "Today 's press conference in Helsinki was one of the most shameful ideas of an American president living in the memory", declared veteran Republican John McCain in a statement. The veteran of the critical party testified to the incompetence of its president: "President Trump has shown himself not only incapable, but he has not stood up to Putin."
Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, leaders of the House and Senate Trump to recognize that Russia is not an ally. Even moderators of Fox News have found drastic words: "It was not a very good performance," said Stuart Varney.
Heavy reactions show that Trump has the nerve of the party and the country a few months before the US elections. wounded. Often, the comparison was made with Ronald Reagan, who once forced Mikhail Gorbachev on his knees. Trump's performance went against the national pride, patriotism of one of the most patriotic countries of the West. This can not be good, especially not when it comes to the relationship with the old enemy of Russia.
Chairman of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, Republican Bob Corker saw Putin, the KGB's wise intelligence man, reinforced by the summit. "We guess he's eating caviar right now." In fact, champagne corks seemed to make their appearance in Moscow after the Helsinki summit. "Better than Super," tweeted Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. "Putin is the winner," headlined the Guardian in the UK.
The loser is Trump. Shaking his head has already prevailed. With an entry on Twitter, Trump launched the summit Monday almost publicly. The relationship between the two nuclear powers is as bad as ever, and it's the fault of the United States, said the US president. The Russian Foreign Ministry responded with humor: "We agree!"
For Republicans, the appearance of Trump, who failed before the parliamentary elections in November, is a failure. "Putin's actions, and he alone, are responsible for the bad relations," said Ed Royce, chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the House of Representatives, about Trump's tweet
. fears the mid-term elections in November. Traditionally, the ruling White House party is being punished in these elections – a virtual automatism that also helps to maintain balance in the bipartisan American system. This time, the Republicans seized the opportunity to hold the Senate and perhaps even the House of Representatives.
Now they are not sure. What is Putin doing? Does he intervene again? This time in the other way, to weaken the political power of the superpower? The appearance of Helsinki should not be good for the popularity of Trump. The question – again – emerge, whether the alleged draft horse in the election campaign in individual constituencies at all to help. In any case, the nervousness of MEPs regarding re-election will increase.
And if the mid-term elections are lost for Republicans, Trump's removal procedures are likely to become more likely. Many Democrats are hiding in this possibility.
The president gave impetus to the weakening recent opposition – even without the football that Putin gave him after a successful World Cup. Senator Lindsey Graham demanded that the ball be checked for Russian bugs first.
