Trump is a remarkably weak and ineffectual man,very much controlled by Vladimir Putin www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮
