I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Does Ukraine know it agreed to this? Or is this like one of those "peace deals" Trump has announced with Iran? You can see the narrative developing where Trump blames Ukraine and Zelensky for the price hikes caused by his own disastrous war...

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.
