    The Spin

    Democratic narrative

    The GOP and its friendly news media outlets are attempting to weaponize the Ukraine crisis to undermine Biden and the Democrats. But they're beholden to disgraced former president Trump, who is unwilling to criticize Putin. They've put partisanship above national interest, and now their hypocrisy is clear for all to see.

    Pro-Trump narrative

    Trump was a deal-maker in his private life and he brought the same pragmatic approach to diplomacy during his time in the White House, which helped him to forge productive relations with America's global adversaries. But Putin has changed, and none of this would have happened if Trump were still president.
