It’s a great time for job creation right now. For anti-Trump narratives? Not so much.
This morning, a pretty popular one took a bit of a hit:
JUST IN: Sec. of State Mike Pompeo announces the U.S. withdrawal from the INF Treaty: "Russia has jeopardized the United States' security interests, and we can no longer be restricted by the treaty while Russia shamelessly violates it." https://t.co/DiAD0MLaC4 pic.twitter.com/FITEXyHyR8

Oh?
MORE: Pres. Trump says Russia "has violated the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty" in a statement.
"We cannot be the only country in the world unilaterally bound by this treaty, or any other." https://t.co/A0iAbzu3dY pic.twitter.com/idTyq8ruYW

How do Russiagate true believers square this with the “Putin owns Trump” theory? https://t.co/EJrfHuHImC

They don’t. They do this instead:
The same people who complain that Trump is Putin's puppet are now bashing Trump for pulling out of this one-sided deal which Putin violated. https://t.co/QkVg1iLWfa

Check it out:
So, in other words, donald has been violating this treaty and is about to be caught so he is having tubby blame Russia before he is exposed?

Trump & Pompeo are so insane I cant decide if this decision is really about the INF or another ploy by Trump to act “strong” against Russia to diffuse the truth of his collusion. Concerns like this prove Trump MUST BE REMOVED ASAP.

So Putin pretty much dismantled the treaty by making the United States withdraw. Nice negotiations. I though you get along with Vlad. North Korea now Russia is manipulating our President and his decisions. Both are manufactured missiles under our noses. Hope this is thought out!

So now Russia can go on building up an arsenal without repercussion…. this is just another pro Russia move on Trump's part. What does he have to do, give Putin the keys to the White House before Congress does anything????

I’m sure Putin secretly wanted this. Oh how @realDonaldTrump is doing his bidding! Disgusting!/

So now Russia is free to do whatever. There will be no consequences that could really affect Russia, absolutely no punishment. trump love for Putin is unnatural.

And these people’s hatred for Trump is unhinged.
Lord knows there are plenty of legitimate reasons to question Donald Trump and call him out. But attacking him for this only makes you look desperate and unserious.
