It is not surprising that Trump and some of his hangers-on have lately expressed their admiration and sympathy for Vladimir Putin. For these quasi-treasonous pols, it has always been party over country. They are so keen to praise anyone who clashes with Biden, that if Biden launched a crack-down on child molesters, these Republicans would come to the molesters’ defense. 

And, of course, Trump and Putin are brothers in spirit, even if Trump’s admiration for Putin is alloyed with considerable envy. Hitler and Mussolini too were joined in a fervent mutual-admiration society. If only America would set a good example for the world by prosecuting and imprisoning our own Mussolini, Donald Trump.
