Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin on American soil just weeks ago. That emboldened Putin, leading to the attacks on Poland right now. It’s not a stretch to say that Donald Trump is fanning the flames of a world war.

A big difference between Republicans and Democrats is that Republicans understand the science of political communication. Republicans dictate the topics/terms of debate while Dems (and the left) usually burn energy in constant response.
