The 7 follows President Trump’s first 100 days. Let’s catch up: - Trump said Canada and Mexico tariffs begin tomorrow. - Trump’s desire to test spending powers may trigger a government shutdown. - A USAID official was put on leave after detailing U.S. “failures.”

President Trump has credited himself with the dramatic drop in the number of people trying to cross into the U.S. from Mexico. But analysts say Mexico’s moves to restrict migration in the last year have yielded undeniable results, putting it in a stronger negotiating position against his tariffs.

In the wake of the Feb. 28 clash in the Oval Office, the Kyiv Independent went to the streets of Kyiv to ask Ukrainians what they think of the now infamous meeting.

I turned away from drinking in the firehose of bad news last night to take my telescope out to a dark clearing in the forest. It was a bit cold, 4 degrees F, but stars shined bright overhead.🔭🧪

WATCH: Mike Myers makes a surprise “SNL” cameo as Elon Musk in a cold-open spoof of Zelenskyy’s disastrous meeting with Trump, our incompetent Bully-in-Chief. The whole country is laughing at our fucking embarrassment of a president.

Step 11- Now that we can publicly show our support for Russia, it's easy-peasy lemon-squeezy. We take over one country at a time. It's time people see that I am the world ruler. Don't worry about Putin. He's my BFF. He's not going to turn on us. I'm a master deal maker. I promise. (12/12)

Step 10- As soon as Ukraine has been conquered, we can gently announce our "soft" alignment with Russia. Promote peace! The war is over! Use lots of exclamation points to appeal to those ruled by emotion. Remember, people have to see Russia as an ally. This is crucial. (11/?)

up where we left off. He doesn't need the world's support. He just needs ours. Don't make it obvious, though. We'll still have people who can see what we're doing, but just tell our followers they're crazy and dramatic. It's not like major media is going to let them know what's happening. (10/?)

By this point, everyone should be too concerned about all the chaos we've created to stop and fact-check any of it. We know invading Ukraine was Putin's test project to see how the world would respond. While it didn't go exactly how he'd planned since Trump lost the 2020 election, we can pick (9/?)

Step 9- This is what we've been waiting for. Turn public sentiment against Ukraine. It doesn't matter that we promised them we'd protect them if they gave up their nuclear arsenal. It doesn't matter that they were the ones invaded. Flip the script. They started it. (8/?)

They'll be too far along to admit they have been fooled. Cognitive dissonance, you know. Step 8- Build up that military budget. We're going to need it. Appeal to the average American's sense of pride. We're the toughest. We're the best. FAFO is the key mantra. (7/?)

Step 7- Fire any public official that might sow seeds of dissention and do it fast. FBI, CIA, it doesn't matter. Get rid of them. Actually, employ mass firings of random government employees to create chaos and confusion. Continue to tell your followers how your only goal is to save them money.(6/?)

Show them how much money they can make by backing us up. I don't care how you do it, but get Republicans in charge. Buy votes, tamper with election results, it doesn't matter. Just get it done. Step 6- Green light. Republicans are in control. All systems go. (5/?)

Step 4- Have the wealthy people you've catered to purchase media organizations. This is crucial. We must control the information getting to the public. Step 5- This is the tricky one. We must wait for the Republicans to control both the house and senate. Cater to the rich in the meantime. (4/?)

Step 3- Blame all US financial troubles on foreign aid. Most people won't ask why we're providing foreign aid. They won't care that we provide aid in order to benefit the US in one way or another. (3/ still don't know)

that uneducated social media users will share without any investigation because they are emotionally charged. Step 2- Pretend to be a Christian to appeal to the conservative public. They'll eat it up. (2/ who knows)

"My Super Duper Plan," said Trump. Probably. Step 1- plant seeds of American nationalism. Heavily broadcast crimes committed by illegal immigrants to cast suspicion on all immigrants. Create memes with inaccurate data that say immigrants are stealing American jobs (1/ who knows)

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in remarks aired on Sunday that the United States's dramatic shift in foreign policy largely aligns with its own vision ➡️ u.afp.com/S3iU

“Never again” demands action — Ukraine is fighting for all of us, writes Odesa Association of Jews Chairman Roman Shvartsman in his op-ed.

A child in the U.S. has died from measles. In another administration, the death and growing outbreak would likely have been met with urgent calls from the president and Health and Human Services secretary for parents to vaccinate their children. But this is public health in the Kennedy era.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders sat down with the Kyiv Independent on Feb. 27 to share his concerns about Trump’s growing alignment with Russia and why defending Ukraine is crucial for the future of global democracy. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYY0...

Yup!
