Putin has bailed Trump out of major financial disasters his whole adult life. Putin has freight trains worth of kompromat on Trump. Likely, but not limited to, financial crimes (e.g., money laundering), pedo/sexual assault related crimes, and possibly much worse. Trump is Putin's total bitch.

Trump's DOJ is frequently and consistently breaking and ignoring the law at his behest. This is part of Trump's retribution tour. This is also definitive proof that we are already under a fascist regime.

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

He was my age, and I had just returned home to Ohio from DC when he was killed. It hit me hard, hanging on news reports as he clung to life — and eventually died. I returned to DC with a new friend for a vigil in front of the Capitol.

He truly believes that because Putin and Xi put on a show for him that they are his allies. He's childlike and gullible even as he is unspeakably brutal and corrupt. What a horrifying combination. And such a mark for powerful leaders who are smarter than him. Which would be all of them.
