Because Trump is more loyal to Putin than he ever will be to America

As we were experiencing a nationwide shortage of COVID tests in 2020, Donald Trump secretly sent test kits to a “petrified” Vladimir Putin. Putin even warned Trump not to let anyone know about this transaction: “I don’t want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me.”

“I don’t care,” Trump said in response.

Meanwhile, as 1.2 million Americans died of COVID, the only “advice” (if you could even call it that) Trump gave us was to inject bleach into our veins, reject face coverings, and pray for the best. And look where that got us. 

After Trump’s initial comments about consuming disinfectants and bleach as some sort of “miracle cure” on April 23, 2020, accidental poisonings increased by 121 percent. While most of us loathed him and didn’t believe a word that came out of his mouth by this point in his presidency (if we already didn’t prior to the start of it), we cannot deny that Trump, in holding one of the most prestigious, revered, and powerful positions in the world, possessed (and still possesses) incredible influence over the supporters who hang on to his every word. And that makes him dangerous.

But Trump, time and time again, has betrayed America for his own personal gain, and the MAGA folks are finally starting to take notice of his constant and blatant betrayal. As one X user tweeted on October 9, 2024: “My neighbor across the street has burned his Trump yard sign. I inquired. He lost his wife to COVID, which I knew. He says the story of Trump sending COVID tests to Putin when we needed them is too much for him. He’s voting Kamala.”

The blood of 1.2 million Americans is on Trump’s hands. And he doesn’t even care. 

To this day, Trump has spoken to Putin at least seven more times since he left office in January 2021, according to former White House adviser and United Nations ambassador, Susan Rice.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz actually care about this country and the people who live here. “People were dying by the hundreds,” Harris said in a recent interview with Howard Stern, responding to the news about Trump and Putin. “Everybody was scrambling to get these kits… and this guy who was president of the United States is sending them to Russia? To a murderous dictator, for his personal use?”

I am voting Kamala Harris for president this November, not only because she honestly cares about us, but because Trump is more loyal to Putin than he ever will be to America.
