'Traitor!' Onlookers appalled at Trump's latest admission [View all]

By Jennifer Bowers Bahney
Published May 27, 2025 12:49 PM ET

Social media reaction was swift and furious Tuesday after President Donald Trump posted a Truth Social message telling Vladimir Putin he has protected the Russian president from "really bad things."

"What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD," Trump wrote. "He’s playing with fire!"

The Bulwark's Sam Stein expressed his incredulity on X, posting, "Trump just casually telling everyone he's been helping out Putin?" while anti-Trump Republican group The Lincoln Project declared, "There it is. Trump confirms what we've said all along - he's been protecting Putin this entire time."

To the Republican controlled US Senate not once but twice that had the means and the power to impeach this traitor and the US Supreme Court........... you gave this traitor immunity, so when things like this come out you and your Federalist Society lackies can pound sand........you have innocent lives from Ukraine deaths on your hands..........
