His most recent article shows how Trump is turning America into the old Ukraine that was steeped in corruption. The current Ukraine has been moving to rid the old corruption and replace with anti-corruption forces, including the new President, Zelensky. Trump, of course, is on the side of corruption and has tried and is trying to corrupt Zelensky by forcing him to dig up dirt on a political rival, Biden, and fabricate a case that it was Ukraine and not Russia that interfered in the 2016 election.
Stephens sums it up in a very revealing paragraph:
"...we’ve been living in a country undergoing its own dismal process of Ukrainianization:
- of treating fictions as facts;
- and propaganda as journalism;
- and political opponents as criminals;
- and political offices as business ventures;
- and personal relatives as diplomatic representatives;
- and legal fixers as shadow cabinet members;
- and extortion as foreign policy;
- and toadyism as patriotism;
- and fellow citizens as “human scum”;
- and mortal enemies as long-lost friends —
An excellent summary of today's disgusting administration and Republican Party.
Impeach him and remove him from office. And punish his corrupt toadies by voting them out of office. Please.
