Journalist: Trump’s popularity is low, diesel prices are high, and the war in Iran isn’t going the way he’d like. Don’t you get the feeling that you’re being used as a scapegoat for all his problems? Zelenskyy smiled in response. (watch until the end, even if you don’t understand the language).😀😀👊

Trump is a pathological liar. 📌 we believe trump is pretending he didn't know about StarShield being cut off. We believe Sec of Def Hegseth made the decision. Trump will very likely blame him when the Congress in 2027 starts hearings on impeaching Hegseth.
