Trump’s message marks the endpoint of his engagement with Russia: he refuses to condemn Putin’s aggression and instead blames Zelenskyy and Biden, offering no real solution.
He emboldened Putin by undermining NATO, withholding aid from Ukraine, praising the invasion as “genius,” and consistently positioning himself as Putin’s junior partner—despite America’s vastly greater power.
Fiona Hill, his former top Russia adviser, has said Trump’s actions directly helped pave the way for the war. Russia, now locked into a permanent war economy, cannot end the conflict without risking internal collapse—and instead of seeking to contain this threat, Trump proposes expanding U.S. trade with Russia, directly supporting its ability to escalate the war into the Baltics and NATO territory.
The result is a geopolitical disaster Trump didn’t merely fail to prevent—he helped create it, and now falsely claims only he can fix it.
MAGA wants the ex-FBI Dir imprisoned for posting a photo of seashells, Moodys downgraded credit rating of the US for 1st time ever, Trump defies court orders & is ranting at SCOTUS, Taylor Swift and Springsteen, Ukraine-Russia peace talks were a disaster, but Biden is still old.
Justin Trudeau, in his final week as Prime Minister, tells Donald Trump to shove it. Bill McKibben writes about how Trump’s affronts to Canada have united citizens across the political spectrum and rekindled their affection for Trudeau. https://t.co/bIR4WVR6kK
It is a huge embarrassment that Trump has effectively switched sides in the Russo-Ukraine war, joining Russia. The U.S. has aligned itself not with our allies in NATO, but with the longstanding, principal threat to NATO: Moscow. It's unthinkable that an American president would do this.
CARVILLE: “More deficit accumulated under Trump than any president… Trump’s approval rating is lowest at this point in his presidency ever… the GOP supports Putin, wants to get rid of Medicaid & Medicare…”
James Carville exposed Hannity’s audience to some facts tonight 👇🏽👀
Rubio is a ghost already, passing through the halls of power without leaving a trace. This Saudi thing looks like a sideshow. The real action is Trump and Musk lifting sanctions and normalizing Putin's terrorist regime while getting nothing in return without explaining why.
Trump‘s call with Putin makes no mention of the fact that Russia started this unprovoked invasion and that Putin continues it every day and could end the killing at any time. Putin is a war criminal, a mass murderer still on the loose. Normalizing him is abhorrent.
With the various shutdowns, showdowns, buyouts, lockouts, land grabs, purges and policy reversals is the dread the center does not hold, and our nation’s wheels fall off.
Today’s lies are already fading and soon they’ll only talk about tomorrow’s lies. If you don’t think this can continue for four years, you’ve got a painful amount to learn about autocrats.
Russia’s undeclared war against the West is already underway, and the stubborn refusal to acknowledge this fact by most Western leaders makes the West’s defeat only a matter of time. https://t.co/xpNxrj6Hqj
Trump can’t be serious. He says he wants Canada to become a U.S. state and at the same time starts a trade war.
He is either insane, which is a possibility, distracts everyone from his power moves in Washington or wants a serious concession on something from Canada that he is not yet saying. 1/
Gabbard either works for Russia or is doing the Kremlin's bidding for free. I leave it to you to decide which is worse or more likely, but both are completely disqualifying.
Trump is doing everything Putin wants him to do: abandoning our nation’s core values, attacking longtime allies, and picking Tulsi Gabbard for a critical national intelligence role. Putin has us right where he wants us, with his puppet as our President.
America first?
On this Holocaust Memorial Day I hope people will look into the Holocaust, learn, understand. The Holocaust did not begin with gas chambers. It began with normalized dehumanizing of Jewish people. It began with conspiracy theories. It began with attacks on Jewish businesses, schools, and people. It began with Jews hiding their identities out of fear. Does any of that sound familiar?

Trump isn't a sucker, and being unpredictable can be an advantage, but "both sidesing" the war and negotiating with Russia over Ukraine would be a huge win for Putin and reward his unprovoked invasion. Only Ukrainian victory will bring peace. My article: https://t.co/gRahfgQ7Zf
President Biden inherited a country rocked by a pandemic and an economic crisis and helped us recover from both, among many other achievements.
Much will be written about his legacy, but for now, let's start with: Thank you, Joe.
