[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

The President of the United States has discovered that a pool can be longer than a skyscraper is tall.

We live in the dumbest timeline.

“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”

Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.

This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:

“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.

Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.

Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.

Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.

Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.

And you call Greenland badly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.

‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’

When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.

Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.

And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.

You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.

So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

Plans to build Australia’s first Trump Tower have been scrapped just three months after it was announced, with the local developer saying the Trump brand has become “toxic" https://t.co/yLnNEiNqwD

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Interesting. This must be a new kind of chess where you compete to put the pieces back where they were before you smacked them off the board.

[DavidoPolice @DavidoPolice]

Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different.
Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people.
For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits.
He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide.
No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents.
His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.

🇮🇹 Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni literally destroyed Trump’s arrogance

🇺🇸 TRUMP — “Italy can be invited to replace Iran at 2026 FIFA World Cup. We must repair ties with Meloni”

🇮🇹 Meloni — “No thanks, we are Four Times World Cup Winner. We play by rules and we don’t need such participation trophies” 🔥

Trump thought he could butter Meloni by such cheap tricks, but it backfired. Meloni didn’t hesitate to show him his place 🫡

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

After almost a decade of work – we can say: we did it.

We have concluded the EU-Australia Free Trade Agreement.

And it is such a win for both sides ↓ https://t.co/wzu18OCid8

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

[Current Report @Currentreport1]

BREAKING:

Australia has officially rejected Trump's request and will not send naval ships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Just landed in Australia. 

Canada has what the world wants. In Sydney, I’ll be meeting with business leaders looking to invest in all we have to offer, and build new opportunities for our nations’ workers — on both sides of the Pacific.

[Jim Stanford @JimboStanford]

JUST IN: 🌎🇺🇳 Billions of people around the world call on the American people to take over their government.

[Craig Hill @CraigHill01]

I don't think Australia should allow Trump to build a tower on the Gold Coast. The man is a convicted criminal, adjudicated rapist and alleged pedophile. He should not be allowed to do business in Australia.

[Kamala Supporters @globalkhive]

NEW‼️: Kamala Harris arrived in Australia, where she will be a speaker at the Women Unlimited Leadership Summit.✨

Ilhan Omar spent four years in a refugee camp and ended up becoming a Congresswoman. She represents the best of America, while Donald Trump represents the worst.

[Terry Virts @AstroTerry]

Just got a text from an Australian friend who was planning to come to the US for the World Cup.

"I won't be coming to America until Trump is gone."

This is a disaster for our tourist industry. Trump's descent into fascism is going to crush working Americans' pocket books.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

Trump's Davos speech is an embarrassing ramble. America, humiliated.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Inviting the imperial dictator who launched the largest war in Europe since World War II to join a “Peace council” sounds downright Orwellian.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

Scott Bessent on NBC today: “Europeans project weakness, US projects strength”.
No, Trump projects stupidity, ignorance & cruelty, while Europe displays common sense, democracy & freedom.
