Just because Trump's defense for taking Russia's side in its monstrous, criminal aggression against Ukraine is incoherent, twisted and full of lies does not mean it is any less dangerous. To the contrary, he is doubling down again and believes he can rationalize his betrayal to Americans.

NEW: Using some of his most dangerous rhetoric yet, Trump declared at his Arizona rally that leakers "SHOULD BE SHOT." Minutes later, he turned to the press, telling the audience that journalists who report what he calls "false information" are leakers, too.

Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...
