From G7 to G-One-Man Kremlin Show: Trump Does It Again

Dear Fellow Americans (and anyone still clinging to reason):

Well, buckle up, comrades. Trump opened his mouth at the G7 and out spilled another love letter to the Kremlin wrapped in a flaming bag of historical revisionism.

Yes, while actual world leaders gathered to address little things like climate change, war crimes, and not ending civilization, Trump decided it was the perfect moment to channel his inner Cold War historian—if that historian had learned geopolitics from a soggy episode of The Apprentice: Moscow Edition.

Let’s rewind.

It’s Not the G8 Anymore, Donald. There’s a Reason.

Back in 2014, Russia was kicked out of the G8 after it decided that annexing Crimea was a cute little weekend project. You know, the kind of “oopsie” that involves breaking international law, invading a sovereign country, and triggering global sanctions. Real crowd pleaser.

But according to Former Reality Host Turned Foreign Policy Disaster, Russia’s expulsion was just some mean-girl move by “liberal elites” who didn’t appreciate how strong Putin is. (Strong being Trump-code for autocratic murderer who lets me build hotels.)

Yesterday, Trump once again made the bold move of repping harder for Russia than he ever has for America. In front of G7 leaders who have actual jobs and functioning memories, he demanded Russia be reinstated like a lobbyist for Putin’s Parole Board.

He called Russia’s expulsion “unfair,” and then, with the confidence of a man who once said “Frederick Douglass is doing an amazing job,” began to rewrite the entire Crimea saga into some bizarre fairytale where Putin was misunderstood and Ukraine was… well, irrelevant. A typical day in Trumpian logic.

RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA: The Remix

How many times does this guy have to scream “RUSSIA” before people stop pretending it’s just a coincidence?
• Russia meddles in our elections: “I don’t see why it would be them.”
• Russia poisons dissidents: “I haven’t seen that report.”
• Russia jails opposition leaders: “We do that here too.”
• Russia invades neighbors: “They have their reasons.”

And now, at the G7—where leaders are trying to stand united against aggression—Trump is once again passing Putin notes under the diplomatic table like a lovesick teenager in Kremlin High.

Imagine If Obama Had Done This

Let’s pause and imagine, just for a moment, if Barack Obama had gotten up at a global summit, said Russia should be forgiven for invading another country, and asked if they could pretty please come sit at the big kids’ table again.

Sean Hannity would have burst a blood vessel on live television. Fox News would have started a 24-hour “Obamagate: Putin’s Puppet” marathon. And Mitch McConnell would’ve introduced a constitutional amendment requiring American presidents to pee red, white, and blue.

But when Trump does it?

Crickets. Applause. And maybe a thank-you call from Vlad.

Call It What It Is

Trump isn’t just “wrong on the facts.” He’s not “confused.” He’s not playing chess.

He is willfully, enthusiastically siding with an authoritarian regime—again and again and again.

He’s not just giving aid and comfort to the enemy—he’s delivering it with a bow and a side of golf tips.

This Isn’t Funny Anymore (But It’s Still Embarrassing)

This man cannot stop drooling over Putin. And the fact that he did it again—at an international summit, in front of leaders trying to hold Russia accountable for a literal war—should make everyone with a shred of national dignity scream.

We are not Putin’s farm team.

We are not the G-One (as in, One Guy Who Really Likes Russia).

We are supposed to be a country that stands for freedom, sovereignty, and truth—not whatever hall-of-mirrors nonsense Trump is selling to boost his Moscow fantasy.

The Bottom Line

Trump wants Russia back in the G8 not because it’s good for the world—but because it’s good for Trump. Because when you owe favors, when you’re admired by autocrats, and when you think democracy is optional… you carry water for the guy holding your leash.

RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA, indeed.

Let’s make sure this man never represents us at any table ever again—unless it’s the defendant’s table.

Until next time—stay loud, stay sharp, and never stop asking why the “America First” guy keeps putting Russia first.
