EA on Talk TV: Playing Trump, Kremlin Rebuffs His Envoy Witkoff
In the latest 50-minute That Was The Week (In TrumpLand), Maddie Hale and I get full and frank about the indecency of Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and their inner circle.
I dive deep into the Kremlin’s manipulation of Trump and Co. into selling out Ukraine and allying with the Russian invasion. We cover the undermining of US sanctions, the cutoff of early-warning intelligence, the restriction of the military version of Starlink, and the hapless “diplomacy” of real estate developer Steve Witkoff in his meeting with Vladimir Putin.
I take apart Vance, beginning with his cover-up of Trump’s corruption but — more importantly — calling out his support of an ad targeting Amy Acton, a child-rape survivor who is the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio.
