Backing the Wrong Candidate; Putin’s surprise

If one examines all the statements that Donald Trump tweeted, (in his own illiterate style) one would have no difficulty in assuming he was pro-Vladimir Putin and wanted closer ties to Russia.

That is, if one doesn’t know that Trump is innately dishonest and talks out of both sides of his mouth at the same time.

Vladimir Putin was fooled by Trump.   He now stands, shocked at the bombing of Syria,  stunned by the change of attitude.

After all, one would think that Trump was virtually or literally going to pull out of NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) and would be more aligned with Russia in regard to the situation in Syria, more directly, the support of President Assad.

Many people, including the mindless supporters of Trump were surprised by the bombing and stand in gaping mouth shock as Trump’s secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, links with the NATO countries in the same kind of anti-Assad stance that was held by Barack Obama.

Of course, Trump isn’t the first character to have tricked and played people.

When Woodrow Wilson became President of the United States he instituted segregation.  Many Black Republicans were fired as he walked in, a few token Black Democrats were put into place to make it seem that the firing was a political action, not a racist action.

The cute part of this whole even was that one Wilson’s many campaign promises was to focus on Black Issues. This ‘promise’  caused a large number of  Black voters to vote for him.

Just imagine a man running for President, telling people that he was going to focus on Black Issues, getting Black people, be they Republican or Democrat, to vote for him, and then firing almost all the Black people he could, stuffing in a few Black faces to trick the eye in thinking that it was because they were Republican, not Black, and then, racing in with segregation.

Trick?  Of course it was a trick.   Wilson was born a racist, had always been a racist, and died a racist, and his use of the term Black Issues was done in the same cute way that Trump said; “Make America Great Again”, meaning, as we all know, Make America White Again.

In 1914, a little over a year since he took the Oath of Office, the New York Times questioned his actions.

Wilson responded; (and I quote)

“If the colored people made a mistake
in voting for me, they ought to correct it.”

Trump has duped the American people and the world with as great or greater duplicity then Woodrow Wilson.

It is pretty likely that as Wilson ran up his mouth to trick voters, so did Trump.

Mr. Putin should realise that if, in any way, he or his people ‘helped’ Trump into office, he is in the same position as those Black Voters in 1912.
