In the United States it has almost become normal for the news media and politicians to ignore Trump's distortions of reality, the leaders of Europe came to Washington today to make it clear that if America doesn't care about security in Europe, they do, and will forge their own policies without us.
Trump made it clear in Alaska that he is not fit to be the leader of the free world and tomorrow Zelensky and Eurpoean heads of state will push him aside.
They are coming to take over control of the free world and push DJT aside.
American soldiers down on their hands and knees to roll out a red carpet for a war criminal as Trump watches & claps. Trump doesn't get it, but that stunt made it clear to the world that he is not the leader of the free world. I expect the way Europeans address him tomorrow will show their disgust.
If this was supposed to be a flexing of US strength, it wasn't, in fact, the weakest display by an American president that I have ever seen. Rather than cement your role as "the" world leader, you make it clear you've got nothing, zip.

BBC has the best photo of the meeting results ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard...
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
Peaceful citizens should attend the "Summer Camp Out in Our Nation's Capital" to celebrate our personal liberties and honor all who have made it their life's work to safeguard our freedoms. Lots of great parks and space for tents and gatherings. Maybe an ongoing event, special weekend attractions...
This is going to turn into nonevent because everything Trump is suggesting will require ignoring the civil rights of every citizen they think they are going to "take care of". Homeless, 'We are are sending you somewhere else'? How does that work? Most of this is all going to be revealed as BS.
I think this would be a great time for Americans to come to DC for a giant summer camp out, enjoy the beautiful parks in our nation's capital, celebrate our shared freedoms and civil rights. Just throw your stuff in a bag and go. A special summer event, or maybe ongoing with weekend attractions.
I think it's about time that we hold a giant "camp out" on the national mall & parks in Washington DC, maybe just a week or two, where American's can come to DC to show their respect for & solidarity with those have worked to preserve our freedoms, enjoy the parks and camp out together for freedom.
When Trump say he hasn't thought about a pardon you know that discussing the deal he would get for a pardon is exactly what Todd Blanche in Florida to work out. Why else would he need to be there, #2 at the Justice department.
Maybe the modeling agency business Trump ran was a front for delivering women to Epstein and he is afraid information about the arrangement will be in the files.
Maybe the modeling ageny Trump ran was a front for delivering young women to Epstein and he is afraid information about how that business functioned will be in the files.
The last time I saw Peter Navarro on national news he was predicitng 70 tariff deals in 70 days. More like zero Peter, too bad.
Musk can easily hand the midterms 2026 to the Democrats by drawing off Republican voters, and the result will be Trump being impeached and removed from office. Then he will have the time to face sentencing for the 35 felonies a jury found him guilty of.
Hard to believe that Joni Ernst actually thinks that posting this sick message was a good idea youtu.be/gqdwSLKE554?...
The orange guy didn't like this tune
The intention is to create a sense of fear, terrorism I think is the correct term.
It is getting real. Trump and company are going to try to suppress our freedoms.
The masks, halloween for guys with a bit of power, trying out the new international style for terrorists. That is their mandate, to spread terror, and directed by an enemy of true freedom and justice, Homan.
The borders of Colorado must keep Trump awake a night.. was it the same person with the same ruler??
Like a hurricane sweeping through the Gulf of Mexico, sharpies never lie.
So much winning!! Prices up and the economy in a dive, what a great victory! Liberated!
They didn't get the message that Trump runs the world.
Such a clueless dope, everyday I go to the market & walk by the egg counter and decide again to wait until the price comes down. Who does he think he is talking to?
Trump has done himself some real damage, people needlessly losing jobs and health and education resources, allies threatened. Just as Musk has trashed his brand, quitting DOGE will never bring back what he has squandered, and Trump has already done people harm they will not forgive.
The damage Musk has done to his brand will never be repaired.
Someone involved in an illegal activity might find it handy.

I needed to hear this : )
Ask my lawyer, Michael Cohen...
Zero wiggle room, Roberts learned his lesson.
Can't walk and chew gum at the same time? Easier to do nothing that anyone knows about.
His aim is true.
This is the moment... the meeting today in the oval office, where an innocent man, uncharged or convicted, is stripped of every right our laws confer upon every person. Imprisoned, disappeared, and our President sits there smiling... the moment that will be our future, if we accept it. Banish Trump.
Trump is stupid to think this is a win for him. Very stupid.
habeas corpus, the very foundation of our law and government. There must be accountabilty.
habeas corpus is the very foundation of our system of law and the right of any person in our country. Trump's & company must be held to account.
I am thinking about the guy here who owns the local hardware store, almost everything he sells comes from China. Try to find a hammer or pliers made in the US. These tariffs are going to be very hard on small businesses and their customers.
There is a typo in this post, it should read "90 year"
Que pasa mister spine of steel?
Trump wants more than anything to have world leaders come to him asking for relief, that is what this is all about. China is calling him on it, if the EU and others do the same and push back, it won't be a fun game anymore... he will beome the magnanimous king, forgiving and sparing them their pain.
Navarro is living in a fantasy world. The culture of manufacturing craft that once existed in the US is gone. The skilled workers he is imagining returning to their jobs have been gone for several decades. Who is going to teach them the skills they would need? Do they want to do this work?
He wants world leaders to come to him on their knees, so he can denigrate them and their countries, and then dictate his terms of what they must surrender in order to be spared the hardship. His ALL CAPS reaction to China telling him to take a flying leap was the tell.
When he gets back from his weekend of golf... "let them eat cake" was not a good choice of words 200 years ago, or now.
When a writer is using lies to support the logic of the argument they are trying to make, that is not a good sign. And Trump is betting the future on this knucklehead's advice.
Apparently Peter Navarro's call to "Trust in Trump" is not having the desired effect.
They fail to play out the obvious... all those little iPhone screws are screwed at about $6.50/hr in China, move that work to the US where the work is going to cost $17.00/hr... now what is the cost of your new cell phone? There is a reason Americans like products made offshore, they are affordable.
WE want to screw those little screws, not be doctors, teachers, artists, not any of that smart work... just crafty screw screwers
I love you, all of you. Hold fast.
and where is Kamala Harris?? did she get tired of being a leader when it didn't work out the first time?
Great reporting, there is no sign in the world immediately around me that this is happening, but for myself and all of the friends that I talk with, we are alarmed and wondering, where are the people we selected to represent us?
I like to get out of bed slowly in the morning, but sometimes you have to jump up and run.
Schumer is out of touch with what the people in this country he thinks he represents are feeling and thinking. His unwillingness to take a risk and fight, when the tools were in his hands, is a tragic mistake.
You are out of touch with the half of this country you think you represent, and your unwillingness to stand up now, when the tools were placed in your hands, is a tragic mistake.
So now there will effectively be two branches of the Federal government, and Congress is kaput. Historic error for the Democrats.
And suck for anyone who likes good wines and brandies.
So, the Democrats might finally come to life? Wow.

SNL writers are going to start paying Trump for doing their work.
NYT writes "The party’s leadership urged its members last week to stage a solemn and staid protest", and they sat there with their little auction paddles looking absolutely pathetic. I am so disgusted that, in the face of this insanity, can't stand up and scream in opposition.
Same here, at one point the camera pulled him into the shot... he looked just so distrubed at what he was seeing.
Great to see Walz, I think he is absolutely right that the DAILY reports on the damage Trump is doing to the lives and futures of our people should be a priority. Take the spotlight back every single day.
Republican lawmakers are going to have a hard time sitting by as this unfolds. If they do, it will haunt them forever.
Thankfully Democratic leaders are rising to the occasion, calling out Trump's lies plain and simple, and pledging that they will do all in their power, in Washington and at home in their states to continue to support the Ukrainian people in their defense of liberty and freedom. Right?
Must come as a surprise to Trump that there are people who will not bow to his corruption. Just say no, and his power is gone.
They have been blowing it big time, sad to watch them make so few demands. Just accepting lame and dishonest answers without taking the fight to the mat. Are they even serious about this at all?
Hola!
Beijing?
I've done that a couple of times with my car.
I won't be shocked and awed because I am not going watch the inauguration or any news for one week following. I know I won't miss anything.
Thank you for just saying the Trump lies, and here is hoping that the media will call him out clearly going forward. "Misinformation" is a gloss. In commentary and directly in press conferences, reporters should call him out, and to his face, relentlessly.
The solution really is that subscribers can remain anonymous and not take responsibility for their words. In the rest of life you take responsibility for your actions. Make it mandatory that subscribers must be personally accountable & false information & threats behaviors will be greatly reduced.
Jesse, are you volunterring to be on the front line of the attack? What a man!
You gotta laugh, really. They are trying so hard to convince... themselves.
somehow he doesn't seem to personify "masculine energy", maybe he is talking about personal goals.
bought and paid for
This is how he will be remembered, sucking up.
Seems some folks out there, rather than scurry on down to Mar-a-Lago like Kevin McCarthy & Joe Scarborough to kiss the ring, have a different idea.
With you. going to be real.
Right, Musk doesn't care at all how policies he may promote will impact his wealth... just a free and giving heart. We see that everyday now.
People come here because they know they can find work.
He must have read the Constitution.
"this is Trump country now"
Your cash ain't nothing but trash.
Gosh oh golly, I am so frightened.
zzzzz...
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: CNN stated, "Oh, he's just teasing." Teasing about taking over other countries? There's no such thing as "teasing" when you're threatening the sovereignty of independent nations.
Every reporter should open every Trump news event by asking for the details on his progress in bringing down the price of groceries for the average family. And then ask again.
Maybe Dictator Don should concentrate on getting food prices down instead. You know, something useful.
