The Lion is at the @WhiteHouse this morning for President Trump’s meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Trade, security, and rising tariffs on the table.
"They promised it would be dystopian: a strongman’s show of dictatorship pulled from the playbook of North Korea or Nazi Germany as tanks and military aircraft made their way through the heart of America’s capital city...
But standing in the front rows of Saturday’s military parade, I saw something entirely different: veterans, families waving flags, and a sea of red, white, and blue..."
