'Rival crime families': CNN conservative explains Trump's 'imperial' worldview
Raw StoryA conservative commentator compared Donald Trump's relationship with U.S. adversaries as "rival crime families," and said the president was remaking American foreign policy to fit his antiquated worldview. U.S. and Kremlin officials met Tuesday in Saudi Arabia to discuss a deal to carve up Ukraine and its resources as part of an agreement to end Russia's invasion, but didn't include any Ukrainian representatives, and CNN commentator Jonah Goldberg said the president seems to view the world through an imperial lens. "I think that Donald Trump has a goldfish's memory of historical, you know, stuff," Goldberg said. "But he sees Xi and Putin as basically rival crime families, and they deserve respect because they are equal strongmen," Goldberg said.
