The Mittelland Canal at sunrise. The upper half of the picture shows the opposite bank with trees and the rising sun in a red/orange tone. The lower half of the picture shows the water of the canal reflecting the bank and the whole scenery.

It's funny because in a few months America's sales are going to tank due to Donald Trump's ridiculous Tariffs and he is going to beg Europe to buy American.

People really need to stop reading what Piers Morgan writes or linking his Tweets. He waffles whatever lies he thinks will be popular/his billionaire owners want. Ignore him and let the ignorant little liar die in silence.

SNP MP calls for Trump state visit to be scrapped. Others should support. Unhinged felon must not be honoured. 34 felony convictions in New York alone. Dodged prison because his billionaire pals helped him win election. Risk of mass social disorder, if the visit goes ahead.

Another mad element of that press conference is that Trump & Vance were ordering Zelensky to thank them personally for aid that Joe Biden had provided. All while insulting Biden & ignoring Zelensky’s frequent previous expressions of gratitude.
