Chris Murphy on Putin: "He's standing with the most powerful person in the world. It's a sign from Donald Trump, essentially, that all is forgiven. And so this is a big moment for Putin because he is being legitimized in the eyes of the US and in the eyes of the world."
And where is Zelensky at this supposed peace talk. Doesn't Jesus get a seat at the Last Supper.
Counterpoint: The fuck he is.
Um….no. It makes him look weaker
Please don't speak for the rest of the world.
Actually it was his double standing next Trump.
Ummmm... that's not happening. The world has recoiled in absolute horror and disgust 😬
It legitimizes nothing other than double down on the obvious story that Donald is Putin's b*tch. youtu.be/DUiv3Ks1oqg
Wrong, and demented criminal and a war criminal!! The world sees two CRIMINALS
He’s standing with the laughingstock of the world. Two clowns fading into irrelevancy.
And Putin is in Alaska because he knows he will be arrested anywhere else.. as it should be.
Putin is after a 'foothold' in North America and trump will give it to him. That means russia will then be 'free' to bring in any personnel, any equipment, any tech they want. TACO is aiding and abetting the enemy of the US and nobody is mentioning that little fact.
Tell me, tell me. I have to know. Who is the world’s most powerful person that will be standing next to Putin today? Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Barack & Michelle Obama, Mark Carney? It’s got to be the one and only, Larry the Cat @number10cat.bsky.social. We all know it’s NOT Epstein Files Trump.
Why would anyone think that trump is the most powerful person in the world?
Because Americans have been told for decades their president is the leader of the free world. And a dangerous combination of arrogance and stupidity makes them believe it. The whole country is dumb as fuck.
if it was putin at all..
Of course Joe the big mouth can’t let people to finish their sentences and why I can’t watch MJ
I like it at the end where Joe seems to get bound up trying to keep him from talking anymore about things he didn't know were going to be discussed 😆
Whatever happens his base will believe every word he says afterward. I think his real base is about 30% of the Republican party and the remaining 70% like him but they're drifting.
Extreme treason during wartime, we've been involved with for years. Lack of Justice is why we are here #TrumpRussia
When Al Capone stands with Pretty Boy Floyd it doesn’t legitimize either one
two criminals restoring each others reputation
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
The world thinks almost as little of Trump, and probably of the United States in general, as they do Putin. Rather than legitimizing Putin, it just further degrades OUR standing in the global stage. It’s two gangster thugs standing together.
Why did Scarborough interrupt Murphy?
Because he's a self important douchebag that loves the sound if his own voice.
My thought also.
What rot
Actually this doesn’t legitimize anything other than two criminals meeting to discuss everything but a peace deal in Ukraine. The war criminal and the rapist felon, equally repugnant dictators. Someone tell Sarah she can now see Russia soiling her home state.
Agree. In no way is this legitimizing anything to the world. The world holds nothing but contempt for us anymore.
A lot of responses getting pissy with the word legitimize - because these are two very bad people who are not “legitimate”. It does legitimize Putin in the way that it emphasizes the reality that Trump is his partner and is giving him a free hand to ride rough shod over the rest of the world.
Not in my eyes, Chris. Never.
Disgusting that the POTUS would welcome a murderous war criminal on American soil
That's the problem. But the world does not expect much from a demented IDIOT
Does it legitimize him, or does it delegitimize us? Because this kind of thing undermines America’s ability to legitimize anything. We are no longer credible or trustworthy. We are no longer supporting a stable global economy. We are no longer supporting human rights. So who cares what we think?
Putin gets legitimacy in the eyes of Russians, but most of the rest of the world doesn't fall for this stunt. But I agree that the US comes out of this as the big loser. We see the coming together of two predatory mafia states. The fascists among us are very excited.
Putin will NEVER be legitimized in my eyes. He's a murderous thug meeting with another murderous thug today. The world weeps.
I feel like we're at the point where absolute proof could be sent to every American that Kamala Harris is in fact President and nothing would change.
Agree the sentiment but he is not fucking being legitimized in everyone’s eyes. He is a genocidal, murdering criminal dictatorial cunt
He’s not. He’s not because the rest of the world thinks your rapist president is just as bad as that murderous bastard Putin.
I don’t know that I necessarily agree with the Senator on this. Trump has been Putin’s bitch for a long time and I think that’s what people see. How can Donald make daddy happy.
He who controls the supposed “most powerful person in the world” is, in fact, the most powerful person in the world.
Yeah, Trump’s not the most powerful man in the world. That isn’t a title that comes with the job, it’s a personality trait that you either have & market or you don’t. He does not
America is already weak. Putin is not becoming stronger. He is just showing the world that he has Trump by the balls.
Does Chris Murphy still think America is taken seriously? i
see why Witkoff has been to Russia over six times ….
“…the most powerful…who is ALSO quite possibly the dumbest, and certainly one of the most easy to manipulate: the American president…”
Unfortunately, the world has no respect for Trump and no respect for the US anymore so I don’t think it will do anything to legitimize Putin.
100%. Every day that Oompa remains President reduces the world standing of the US even more.
My opinion also. Trump has terminated America’s world standing as a credible negotiator.
A man invades your house. The president blames YOU for this happening. Then he offers to mediate. The president then offers the home invader your garage and yard. You WERE NOT ALLOWED at the meeting. This is in layman’s terms what is going to happen today. Trump will take the full load and run
Couldn't of said it better!
The question is, will he give away ALL of Alaska or just a little?
Is this why Trump wants Greenland's rare earth minerals? To offset the U.S. rare earth minerals he may give to Putin? Would that be Nobel Peace Prize worthy? While it may placate Putin, it also might instigate a hostile takeover of Greenland.
He kept calling it Russia, so I’m thinking it’s the former.
Turns out he just gave them huge access to resources and got absolutely nothing in return, which I’m thinking was the whole plan. The art of the deal, indeed. 😒
Putin is being *legitimized* in the eyes of the world? Trump is debasing himself in the eyes of the world.
Or we’re being de-legitimized…
Lavrov who attended the meeting was wearing a sweater emblazoned with CCCP/USSR. Putin wants to restore the Soviet Empire.
Putin is and always will be a terrorist and war criminal, having a war criminal and pedophile agree to meet you does not legitimize anything other than Trump bows to Russia.. and is a weak and terrible leader
“Legitimized” by a 34 time felonious traitor who rapes young girls and shits himself? Legitimized. Stop the planet, I want off.
I really don't care if hes the most powerful person in the world. He may be the emperor for now. Even the powerful will fall, eventually.
Russia w/ Putin's team: 100 years of combined experience dealing with the US. USA: PedoPrez with a real estate guy and spineless Lil' Marco both whose sole qualifications are to kiss ass and say "yessir". Both with <1 year dealing with Russia. What can possibly go wrong.
A meeting between Trump and Putin legitimizes Putin the same way a meeting between Joe Bonanno and Vito Genovese legitimizes either one of them.
Career criminals and rapists should NEVER get a Nobel Prize!!
Two weak “strong men” propping each other up.
Putin is scum
Putin isn't being "legitimized". The US is being shown as an enemy of the free world.
Eyes of the world??? One thing will never change. Boundless American arrogance.
The only way this meeting would “legitimize” Putin would be if Trump was a legitimate leader.
Putin is a war criminal and as far as I'm concerned so is Trump!🤬
Trump wants to negotiate with Putin because Putin has the Epstein files (and the pee pee tapes).
China….if you’re listening…
In 2017 86-taco47 falsely claimed HRC sold uranium to russia. Today he is giving russia "rare earth metals"
"in the eyes of the US" maybe. In the eyes of the world, no. "The world" can see that this charade is just about two crooks dividing the spoils of war. While one seeks to protect himself from kompromat held by the other. "There are none so blind as those who will not see."
The world hates them both.
Disagree! putin and trump are being shown as a—holes of the U.S. and the world!
He's standing with a senile Rapist and career felon who is his abject slave. He's laughing his ass off.
Sorry, but ... The world outside EUROPE Time to asses our 🇪🇺 leaders to be COWARDS or ever STANDING with UKRAÏNA!
Trust me, the world is doing looking at us a leader. It will be 2 losers standing up to fleece the world. FDT
Well it’s not really Putin. It’s a body double. And Drumpf won’t recognize it. Russia’s agreeing to meet up just to put Drumpf in his place. Remind him of what he owes to them or else…… Nothing will come of this meeting other than a big slap in Drumpf’s face
Alternative reality
Putin, the most powerful person in the world? Really? By what metric that a low life bum with a gun have power? He's a thug. A bum. A goodfor nothing. He's about as respected around the world as our own thug, bum, and goodfor nothing
Seems more like a victory lap by Putin, that his schemes resulted in his toadie getting where he wanted, and the US having been corrupted in the way his mafia petrostate desired. And, honestly, he's right. Putin got want he wanted, and all he had to do was buy off Republicans.
He is not being legitimized. Anyone who liked/loved Putin before has already been persuaded. Trump is un-coupling the US from the best values of the west. And that is his ugly achievement.
Or is Trump just being further de-legitimized?
Get OUT there and raise Hell over this DEMs !!!!!!
Don't speak for the rest of the world, thank you very much.
Putin is standing with a pedophile. Signed, Epstein’s mother
💯
Putin is not and neither is Trump! Both could have ended the war month ago but neither one has any real interest in it.
No it is not Jesus. Everyone knows the US has zero credibility anymore and these are evil, vile people
Not the whole world, just the authoritarian world 😐.
The First Felon has now had more meetings with indicted war criminals than he has impeachments.
I think "in the eyes of the world" is pushing it a little.
Dude is giving Eptsein's partner day passes from her 20 year sex traffic term. Chances are she's going to get out. Of course Trump has no issues with Putin. Best to accept that America is toast
Nope
Zelensky ‘twice as popular as Trump in US’ Ukrainian leader, the new pope and Bernie Sanders are viewed more favourably by Americans than the US president, poll reveals share.google/707gdHm7qhv6...
No. Putin is legitimized in the eyes of the US. End of story.
He has forever disgraced America
Trump continues to humiliate America.
Is Putin standing with the "most powerful person in the world" or is he standing with a pedophile? I'm going with the latter.
And likely welcome them back at the Olympics in 2026.
2028
Right! Or winter olympics in 26
But they are in Italy.
HE IS NOT BEING LEGITIMIZED IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD. American arrogance.
Except standing next to Trump doesn't legitimize anyone now.
The Felon and War Criminal..what could go wrong?
Its fucking Treason
like in Helsinki, Putin again used two words: Epstein Files. Trump got embarrassed again on the world stage and Putin is strong again in Russia. Russia is convinced that Putin is running America.
Trump and the US have been delegitimized.
Grrrrrrr
Putin isn't being legitimized by this visit, trump is being further delegitimized.
I don't disagree but "legitimized" is a strange choice of terms
I love Joe Scarborough coming in over the top of and interrupting what he was saying. /s Trump is a fool walking into a trap he’s too stupid to get out of. Nothing good will come from this.
My conversations with friends around the world don’t line up with this. Outside the US there is virtually no one who sees trump as anything but the corrupt fascist he is. Hosting putin doesn’t legitimize him, it further delegitimizes trump and the US.
Not really. The world no longer sees the United States as a legitimate authority or power. We are on the human rights watch list. We are a bad, dangerous joke under Trump. That is like calling The Enquirer or FOX a valuable news source. That shit only works on MAGA not the world.
Well, this is how to do @chrismurphyct.bsky.social (Btw , ICC also would accept citizens arrest) bsky.app/profile/kyiv...
Not in the eyes of the world..not a chance.
The entire thing makes me sick to my stomach. Never would have imagined a "President" aiding and abetting an Enemy of my country. My daddy used to tell me Never say Never.
Or the US is being further de-legitimized in the eyes of the world.
what REALLY made me want to vomit; our military who we pay who swore oaths KNEELING for fkn putin LICKING his fkn balls turns out are military who we pay who swore oaths are either fkn cowards or perfectly happy to committ crimes against humanity i spit on OUR traitors in the military
? no he isnt we ALL still know that putin and trump are rotten people Far as im concerned its the reverse; by fawning over putin, trump just showed the world who he really is; an evil puppet of putin!
I don’t see Putin legitimized, but rather DJT unmasked…
🤮
'the most powerful person in the world.' You didn't have to say that😖
Incorrect. It has only cemented the illigitimacy of the United States. The window of opportunity has passed. Everyone with a sworn oath to stop the destruction has not only betrayed hundreds of millions of people, they have made themselves obsolete. Taxpayers don't need to pay them for idle talk.
At least in Chamberlain’s case he was buying time to strengthen the British armed forces for the conflict to come. The felon is nothing more than a clueless lump of respirating biomass.
My god, so vivid!!! 🤣
I respectfully disagree. The rest of the world knows how weak and compromised trump is.
And all we don't know yet is the price of Trump's "respect" for his boss.
He's being legitimised in the eyes of the Russian citizens. THAT'S what Putin values here!
Like Hitler meeting Mussolini. We ARE reliving the worst parts of the last century!
Hague officers should be there to arrest Putin 🔥🔥🔥
Why is this shocking? People seem to forget that Netanyahu has also been here with congress members fawning on him. Both of them are homicidal maniacs. Trump has worked to shield both men from international consequences.
I see this moment the other way around: Donnie hopes to kill as many people in future as Putin. Because Trump sees war criminal as peer.
With any other person as President, I would agree. And that’s what might happen in Russia, but dump is a joke in the rest of the world. It’s 2 crappy people standing together.
Yes, so spare me the recent Melania outrage. Russian news has paraded her nakedness worldwide, with zero backlash from Trump. They're all crooked.
This administration went beyond the limits of tolerance months ago.
No, he isn't He's only being legitimized as a bigger bully than Trump. He wants the Soviet Union back. And he thinks Trump can deliver that to him. He also wants Alaska, btw.
Exactly. Framing this as some "summit" for negotiations, discussions is normalizing an atrocious war criminal being welcomed to US.
Trumpster groveled. putin should share a cup of tea with him...
SHAMEFUL !
On est dans la merde, avec des târés pareils.
That’s not how world legitimacy works.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social is looking fatigued. He's one of the good ones, who recognized the threat and has acted on it since. Is anyone not feeling anxious and fatigued? I really want to know if there are people going effortlessly about their lives as they did when Joe was in office.
I would put money on Putin having the Epstein files.
When Trump and Putin meet, Putin wins and the rest of the world loses.
I think the world sees it for what it is...a progress report.
Hardly in the eyes of the world?! Not all world leaders are as easily swayed as tRump. 😡🇺🇦🌻
#Despicable
The reason for this meeting is that both men are WEAK in the eyes of the world. It gives both of them a chance to thump their chests. Alaska is hosting a summit of authoritarian bottom feeders. Murderous Putin, who never should have been invited on American soil, will likely eat 47’s lunch.
How are they going to get rare-earths from Alaska to Russian mainland?
I disagree with Murphy. Standing there with a demented Felon does not lend him credibility or legitimacy. It only humiliates this country that our so-called leader would try to whitewash another criminal's character. But then, that's what #DementedDonny does.
I agree with you. It only legitimizes him (more) in the eyes of magats.
What world? The world knows who Putin is. They know who Trump is. What world Earth 2?
Trump can't wait to get that Kremlin dick back in his mouth
It's imperative we take the House and Senate in 2026! Levying war against US citizens is Treason. Adhering to our enemies is Treason. Impeach, Try, Convict This guy and his gang of miscreants MUST be held accountable. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Not in the eyes of the world.
Pro tip: Putin is still and will always be, a war criminal.
Trump wants a Moscow tower so badly that he’s selling out the US, Ukraine and Europe to get it.
Same thing Trump did with Kim Jong Un. It’s abhorrent.
Putin should be dealt with the moment he steps off the plane.
