The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten.
A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders.
A historic disgrace.

“I will not sign something that will later be paid by ten generations of Ukrainians.
“The agreement states that for every dollar of US aid, Ukraine must return two.
“Trump is not forever, but we need peace for many years.”

Great for investors making a fast buck, not going to help anyone really in need of housing ( homeless, temp accommodation). Will exacerbate the latter due to ridiculously overpriced rents.

Broken leadership promises,
Comments on the treatment of Palestinian people,

Denial, defence, detraction. All the usual methods most Ministers utilise when confronted with facts they don't like.
