This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

The US is in a permanent state of electoral deadlock. Two warring tribes fighting over territorial boundaries, not issues or facts. It’s no wonder that polling is hard when the margins are consistently this thin.

Judging by the way things are going, it’s looking increasingly likely that Trump will just throw global energy markets under the bus and piss on the midterms. Why? Because following Putin‘s playbook - elections are scripted - no need to worry.

Agent Trump is drafting his newest executive order as whispered into his ear by Putin. US diesel export ban. Yes it might help US farmers temporarily, a bit. But mostly, and this is the intention, it will again put the squeeze on EU energy supplies.

An energy crisis acts as a force multiplier for the AfD—it converts economic anxiety into political radicalization, severely straining the traditional parties and drastically raising the odds of a future AfD plurality. If this is the case, why is the CDU gambling with Germany's energy security?

Europe needs an executive with executive powers. Something the framers realized when creating the US constitution. Trump, however, shows us how such executive powers can be abused. Creating an effective, yet accountable government is no easy task.
