Once again Trump is showing for all the world to see that his allegiance is to Putin. He is a despicable excuse for a human being and a disgrace to the office of president of the United States.

Art of the Deal - these morons, led by the guy who cratered 6 companies (and a whole country in his previous term), have no idea what they are doing except trying to get Putin to love them

Positively, trump's stupidity is galvanizing Europe, at long last

And Trump just announced 25% tariffs on all automobiles coming into the US. He’s a wrecking ball. And he’s crazy.

We need to keep directly asking: Why is mr dump so far up putler's butt?

We all know why, we just need the rest of the world to know same--i.e., he's an orc-loving traitor?

“Instead of sitting Ukraine and Russia down together, the United States thought it’d be a great idea to hold separate talks. The result? Two ceasefire proposals, one from each side—and no actual agreement. Then Washington tried to sideline Europe, insisting it didn’t need a seat at the table…..That didn’t go well.”

Should we be shocked? Let’s review the video tape. On one hand, we are blessed with two co-equal presidents: One who builds cars that fall apart, and rockets that blow up in thin air. While the other is a failed businessman, and reality TV (faux) billionaire, who’s mostly full of hot air.

Not to mention, we have a bunch of Affirmative Action hires running our foreign policy; so honestly, were you really expecting a different result? Just saying!…:)

Europe should hold firm!

Putin cannot “drive” a wedge between Europe and the USA!

TRUMP IS THE WEDGE in plain sight!

Ukraine! Please keep your mineral rights!

Do NOT give in to Trump! He’s Putin’s chump!

Trump is so damn unpredictable. And he claims he is saving the soldiers in Kursk who were supposedly surrounded by Russians. Lies—all of it. But he gets the media coverage. Putin will hold out for everything. Why wouldn’t he? He has let his country go so far down the tubes already. His legacy is on the line.

Not really unpredictable - he's got a reptile brain that focuses only on what's good for trump. he's gullible for that reason, and Putin is playing on the gullibility

The Art of the Strongarm isn’t working so well in international politics. He better stick to threatening to sue plumbing outfits or carpenters in New York.

"From my reflections in observing, from an intelligence standpoint, I'm convinced that they will fight with their bare hands if they have to, if they don't have terms that are acceptable to an enduring peace." - CIA Director John Ratcliffe said during a U.S. Senate hearing on March 25

OK, so what now what Mr Rat-cliff? Put your words into action? Or, you may as well say you are in cahoots with the rest of the orc-lovers in your 47th sphere of influence?

CIA is continuing to supply irreplaceable Intel to Ukraine, and he has a boss, he has to follow orders. Take the win with his pro-Ukraine comments. They are another piece to build from.

Collapsing in a cloud of ignominy is probably the best result of trump’s bully-boy “peace at any price” negotiations we could hope for. The probability that trump could have arranged a “peace” that Putin would accept - and that could be even remotely considered “just” and enduring for Ukraine - was zero. It’s rewarding to see trump discovering he can’t make things happen just because he wants them to. It’s important for U.S. voters to see trump can’t “fix” anything and that the administration of incompetents he assembled is genuinely incompetent.

Everything Trump touches dies. He’s a total scewup. We just saw it again with Musk’s DOGE and the Houthi raid fiasco. Trump insisted that Snapchat be used because he wants to leave no “evidence trail” behind him. He lies about virtually everything and is unimaginative to the point of stupidity.

And somebody needs to tell European leaders that the whole Signal chat fiasco, was actually an operation to extort Europe for an op that nobody asked for. Trump was supposed to extort europe for the cost of the military operation afterward. The mission was then to break up the European Union and bankrupt them. Both are Putin's objectives

A side note - in the chat they mentioned getting this op done before Israel - because if Israel took charge of this op they would not be able to extort Europe.
