As Trump and Putin prepare to meet in Alaska, and as new hoaxes are already being spun to derail that meeting, it’s worth recalling the last time they met in a purely one-on-one setting. That was the Helsinki summit in 2018, when a so-called journalist demanded that Trump publicly denounce Russia’s supposed 2016 election interference. That story, as Tulsi Gabbard just revealed, was fabricated by Obama operatives, and even the FBI and NSA admitted they had no evidence. Looking back seven years later, it’s striking how Trump was 100% right and the entire political-media class was 100% wrong. He was smeared as a traitor for daring to question the intelligence agencies, yet he had every reason to. In reality, the reverse was true. They were the traitors, waging a years-long coup attempt against him. Keep that in mind, because they will try to sabotage him again this week.
