Unironically, Russia truly believes Ukraine is a US puppet that follows Washington’s orders. This isn’t just propaganda - it’s their genuine belief. So they try to appease Trump and Vitkoff, hoping they’ll hand over Ukraine, not realizing the US has limited leverage in Ukraine

It should probably bother Americans that their country now regularly votes at the UN only with hellish kleptocratic wastelands wherein torture is systemic and that openly seek to destroy the US. Belarus, Russia, North Korea, United States..not even China goes this low.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

CANADIAN REPORTER: Trump's tone on Canada has shifted. He stopped talking about Canada becoming the 51st state. LEAVITT: I would reject that the president's position on Canada has shifted. Perhaps he just hasn't been asked about it. He believes Canadians would benefit from becoming the 51st state.

Russian terrorist attack in Sumy, Ukraine today, Palm Sunday. Latest: 31 killed including 1 child, a further 84 injured. It is impossible not to conclude that Putin has been emboldened by Trump. This, just hours after Witkoff’s disgraceful pandering to Putin. (🎥 Euromaidan)

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Incredibly, in his abrupt reversal on trade policy, Trump seemingly just increased tariffs on Mexico and Canada to 10%. Until today, the U.S. has only had 25% tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminium, and autos, plus 10% on energy and potash. (With the caveat that it's 0% for USMCA-compliant trade.)

So, just to recap, Trump's tariffs: -Were reciprocal for other nations' tariffs -Ok, were actually reciprocal for non-tariff barriers -Nevermind, they're about closing trade deficits -Aren't negotiable -Ok, ARE negotiable, but only for cash -nevermind back to 10% across-the-board
