Trump's entire presidency 'a gift to Putin', says Biden while Internet extends support with #TRE45ON
It seems like President Donald Trump has another catastrophe to deal with apart from the coronavirus pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests after the New York Times made a major revelation on June 26 with a report claiming Russian intelligence got many American troops killed by offering Taliban-affiliated fighters bounties in Afghanistan. The reports also suggested that Trump's administration was well-aware of this for a long time, yet didn’t do anything about it. Here's our detailed report on the revelation and what is trending on social media now.
The White House categorically denied the allegations stating that neither Trump nor Vice President Mike Pence was briefed about American soldiers being murdered by Taliban terrorists in Afghanistan. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany issued a statement that read, "The CIA Director, National Security Advisor and the Chief of Staff can all confirm that neither the President nor the Vice President were briefed on the alleged Russian bounty intelligence."
Meanwhile, reacting to the shocking accusations against Trump, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden issued a statement today (June 27) that Trump had all the information about what was happening in Afghanistan, yet he invited Russia to re-join G7. Biden said, "His entire presidency has been a gift to Putin." He further added that Trump’s alleged involvement in it is "the betrayal of the most sacred duty we bear as a nation." Internet users were quick to re-share Biden's statement on Twitter with # #TRE45ON.
What does #TRE45ON mean? According to one Reddit user, "It works on two levels. 4 and 5 are A and S in simplified leet and also as people have pointed out, Trump is the 45th president. It's quite a clever combination really."
Angry internet users are using #TRE45ON to protest against Trump's administration, stating how his distractions aren't enough to sideline the serious issues. One Twitter user wrote, "127,000 dead. 40 million unemployed. American soldiers being targeted by Russia. What is Trump focused on? Finding the people that tore down some racist statue. So f**king pathetic." Calling him a criminal, another Tweet read, "I come from a family of military service, every generation, including me, and I hate this person occupying the White House who is a criminal, is negligent, a derelict, and treasonous. #TRE45ON."
Calling out Trump for all the issues America has been embroiled in the recent past, one Twitter user wrote, "TRE45ON. Why didn't you sanction Russia after the put out a hit on our soldiers? You did nothing, just like the Pandemic, Testing, masks and social distancing. You're worthless as a President. You are a CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AS A LEADER! OMG this country can't wait to see you gone."
