@RossyPrime B: Trump is the worst POTUS in history and has damaged America’s reputation more than any other American in history.

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

Pathetic, weak, self interested and a total embarrassment to a once great Country.

As an American, this is getting harder and harder to watch. It's embarrassing, to say the least. But it's also becoming pretty damn clear that our traitor-in-chief has no intention of standing up to Vladimir Putin.
Now we're hearing that Trump is willing to sit down with the leaders of Russia and China to discuss Ukraine, apparently without Ukraine even being at the table.
Think about that for a minute. Three men sitting around discussing what they're going to do with somebody else's country. One of them is the dictator who invaded it, another has been helping keep Russia's war machine running, and the third is our president.
And we're supposed to believe this is about peace?
I suspect Trump will come away with some sort of agreement involving rare earth minerals or other valuable resources. Maybe another opportunity for his son to make a fortune. And there's a damn good reason to be suspicious.
Donald Trump Jr. is a partner in 1789 Capital, an investment firm that put money into Vulcan Elements, a company manufacturing rare-earth magnets. Just months after that investment, the Pentagon announced a $620 million loan commitment to the company.
And according to ProPublica, the White House helped push that deal through.
So when I suggest Trump might be looking for another deal to benefit his family, I'm not pulling that suspicion out of thin air.
Meanwhile, Ukraine could end up surrendering a third of its territory to Russia. And Trump will probably call it the greatest peace agreement in history.
But what happens if Ukraine refuses? Is Trump going to threaten to cut off whatever assistance we're still providing? Or will he eventually threaten to join Putin in bombing the hell out of Ukraine?
That is, assuming he has any bombs left.
While these three men discuss the future of Ukraine, people are dying. Russian missiles are destroying homes, hospitals, power plants, and entire neighborhoods. Children are being killed. Families are being buried under the rubble of their own homes. Millions have been driven from their communities.
Just this week, Russian attacks left hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians without essential services. And Ukraine says the United States failed to provide warnings ahead of some Russian missile strikes.
What the hell are we doing?
And let's stop pretending Trump's relationship with Russia started when he decided to run for president.
His connections go back decades. In 1986, he met Soviet Ambassador Yuri Dubinin. In 1987, Trump traveled to Moscow looking for business opportunities with the Soviet government.
During the 1990s, he continued pursuing Russian real estate deals. By the 2000s, he was involved with developers and businessmen with Russian connections, including Felix Sater and the Bayrock Group.
That doesn't prove Putin has something on Trump. But it certainly gives us plenty of reasons to question a relationship that has followed him through decades of business and politics.
And now, after everything Putin has done, Trump continues treating him like someone we should trust.
Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities. Russia is killing Ukrainian civilians. Yet somehow Trump keeps finding reasons to criticize Ukraine and excuse Russia.
We used to stand against dictators who invaded neighboring countries and murdered innocent people. Now we have a president who appears more interested in making deals with them than stopping them.
And I have to wonder how much of Ukraine Trump is willing to sacrifice to keep Putin happy.
A third? Half? All of it?
How many more Ukrainians have to die while Trump plays businessman with a dictator?
This is embarrassing. It's disgusting. And it's a betrayal of everything America once claimed to stand for.
We Are the Broken Republic.

BREAKING NEWS: Billionaire Sir Richard Branson launches a SCATHING attack on Trump and his disgusting coziness with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets under Trump’s skin...

"I never thought I’d have to say this in my lifetime, but it’s 2026, and unfortunately, nothing is the way it used to be," wrote Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, on LinkedIn. "The Trump administration has become an enabler of autocrats and dictators, placing their personal whims ahead of the interests of the American people and the free world. What is it about Putin that makes President Trump fawn over him?"

"How can America’s allies ever trust this administration again, when it is now turning against them in a time of war and suffering?" he asked.

Trump has repeatedly betrayed our Ukrainian allies in recent days. First, he announced a shocking deal with Putin to allow millions of barrels of diesel onto global markets—a move that will inject cash directly into the Russian war machine. Then, he launched a concerted smear campaign against President Zelenskyy, claiming that Putin is "easier to deal with."

The betrayals escalated when Washington failed to provide its customary early warning to Kyiv regarding an imminent Russian ballistic missile attack. Now, it appears the White House has ordered a temporary suspension of Starshield—a military version of Elon Musk’s Starlink, upon which the Ukrainian armed forces rely.

"The throttling of Starlink/Starshield and the inexplicable failure to provide advance warning of Russian missile launches have already led to the needless deaths of Ukrainian civilians," Branson wrote. "How much worse can it get?" "If one thing is clear, it’s that European leaders must move past the initial shock of Trump’s recent actions and step up. This is as much about European freedom as it is about Ukraine’s sovereignty. Both are worth fighting for," he continued. "Every option should now be on the table—from transferring frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, to delivering advanced weapons systems like the German Taurus."

"Why, oh why, is this happening? We cannot allow the free world to be dismantled before our very eyes," Branson concluded.

We couldn’t agree more. Trump is an enemy of Ukraine, an enemy of democracy, and an enemy of the American people. When the Democrats regain power, we will have a major task ahead of us. Every trace of this monstrous man’s legacy must be erased.

Please ❤️ and share if you think Trump is Putin’s puppet!

@StopperFC @fesshole Imagine being such an insecure idiot, as to make such a sweeping and factually ignorant statement.

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@Rising_america2 No, but I was never a gullible individual, a vile racist bigot or a selfish multi-millionaire, so would never have voted for him anyway.

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@HansScottfmLI @Rising_america2 The idiocy of your comment is astounding. Your children and grandchildren will spend the rest of their lives, shuddering in the shame you put them under.

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@Aleks53446218 @0DonaldTrumpJr1 Another thick MAGA cult member.

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@AFlorence10462 He repeatedly dodged the draft. It’s a massive insult to actual American service men and women, both past and present, to portray the orange criminal in uniform.

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@Teika54 @0ivankaTrump1 Another delusional member of the MAGA cult, completely oblivious to the reality which is so clear to the vast majority of the world.

Trump is a criminal.

He is the second least deserving current world leader for such an award, after Putin.

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@Robtom32 @0ivankaTrump1 You’re delusional.

Trump deserves a prison cell, not an award.

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@0ivankaTrump1 Obviously not.

The only current world leader that deserves such a prize less than Trump, is Putin.

@MelvynHolley @__EarthPicture Whilst also having an influx of people who need the services that are funded by the taxes paid by the immigrants you’ve kicked out.

The stupidity of people who support Farage is beyond belief.

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@MelvynHolley @__EarthPicture If you deport all immigrants, the country would collapse.

And you’d have to accept every other country in the world kicking British immigrants out.

We’d then be in an even worse position, with the loss of immigrants who work and contribute to the tax revenues of the country…

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@portybelly @Buzzdude70 @AFlorence10462 How can you possibly claim he isn’t stupid?

Look at his idiotic claims, not just recently, but for years

Look at the way he mocks those he’s jealous of, including previous Presidents and other world leaders.

He is incredibly stupid and an embarrassment to the USA.

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@Buzzdude70 @AFlorence10462 He’s incredibly stupid!

There is no way that any intelligent person, who isn’t for some bewildering reason a member of the MAGA cult, would see him as anything other than an unintelligent, narcissistic sociopath.

[St Ann's Close @stannsclose]

@AFlorence10462 Everything, and pretty much everyone is smarter that the orangutan president.
