So far, Trump has done nothing for Americans and everything for himself. For his next act the US will pull out of all alliances and move to a spheres of influence policy which will basically be a smash and grab either thru invasion or business grift, again for his benefit, starting with Venezuela.

Trump says crime stats would be much lower if “every little fight with ‘the wife’ wasn’t counted as a crime”. And therein lies his appeal to MAGA, bc behind the rich houses and friends is a male (not a man) whose attitude and instincts are as base and repulsive as the lowest of his MAGA base.

Negotiating peace is a tough haul. The thought of the transactional toddler-in-chief negotiating a “peace” deal on behalf of Ukraine and, realistically, all of Europe must be keeping European leaders up at night. If only they all had the influence of kompromat to hold over his demented head.

In 1994, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances from Russia, the US, and the UK. Included in the Budapest Memorandum were promises to respect territorial integrity. The US has dropped the ball under Trump’s leadership. If the country falls, it is America’s fault.
