Today, Donald Trump rolled out the red carpet for the authoritarian Thug Vladimir Putin. Instead of standing with Ukraine and our allies, Trump stood shoulder to shoulder with an autocrat who has terrorized the Ukrainian people and the globe for years.

Our fear is that this was not diplomacy – it was just theater.
