Douthat: Who do you trust more, Putin or Zelensky?
Trump: Well, I'd rather not say, but I get along with both…There is tremendous hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky…When they had their first meeting there was great disrespect shown to Russia.
Clyde is up and about at the hospital. In no surprise to anybody he seems to have free rein of the place and be getting endless treats.
His lab test results come back today or tomorrow. 🤞🤞🤞
He should be reunited with Bonnie on Wednesday with us ❤️
Author @jeanguerre: “What people need to understand about Stephen Miller is he is above all a sadist. He takes pleasure in inflicting pain. And the only group of people he despises more than immigrants is allies of immigrants.”
I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I won’t be able to do as many conversations about my book as I’d hoped. However, I’m hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.
Trump elevated so many people to positions and situations far above their level of talent, ability, experience, knowledge or intellect. It will be interesting to see what happens to these people once he is no longer able to prop them up.
Sikorski: The problem with Russia is not only Putin. It is a civilizational problem, a problem of the political culture of a country with a Mongol-tsarist and then Bolshevik past. After the war, we will restore relations with Russia, but on different terms. 4/
Sikorski: This is billionaire arrogance. In Texas, $500 million was poured into a candidate, and he lost. It is unacceptable to back a politician so that he then takes care of your business. 3/
Sikorski: Political reasons are limiting the service, but we pay for it and we demand it. So I wrote to him: if he applies politics to his products, we will look for an alternative provider. 2/
Sikorski: Musk began cutting off the Ukrainian army’s access to Starlink when they were conducting offensive operations.
I want to remind him — we are Musk’s client. Poland pays SpaceX $20 million a year for 29,000 terminals — SprawdzamTo. 1/
