Trump said Russia could have taken Kyiv in four hours if a Russian general hadn’t driven the tanks into a swamp.
Meanwhile, Russian tanks, APCs, and hundreds of other vehicles were advancing along a perfectly paved four-lane “swamp” in the Brovary district.
I love how Trump did a $15 million paint job on the reflection pool (which caused the green algae to bloom harder than ever) and then they used hundreds of gallons of peroxide to kill the algae (which is now stripping the new paint off)
Did he really just say that?
“What's stopping Iran from down the road restarting their nuclear program?”
JD: “They would have to get a lot of money in order to rebuild their nuclear program. You’re talking about billions”
I wonder where that could come from?! Honestly this guy 😂
Did you notice how Russians didn't run to the shelter?
They are just standing by the windows filming a video.
Nobody is destroying their homes while they sleep, nobody is destroying millennia-old temples, museums, theaters, and schools…
Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
❗️🇺🇦Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Sybiha:
“One of the most popular questions Muscovites were asking this morning was: ‘What’s happening?’
I can answer that. Your country launched an aggressive war against ours. For years, it has been killing our people.
Now that you know what’s happening, ask Putin when he plans to end it.”
