Trump has made made shocking statements about Ukraine. Is he repeating Kremlin talking points or driving a hard bargain for more aid? The US used to be the world's policeman; Trump wants to run a protection racket. #DonaldTrump #VladimirPutin #Ukraine wallstreetdemocrat.substack.com/p/will-trump...

Trump's Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at a NATO meeting that Ukraine's war aims were "unrealistic" and ruled out NATO membership for Ukraine--which could have been a good bargaining chip with Russia. He's doing a great job negotiating on Putin's behalf. #DonaldTrump #Ukraine #VladimirPutin

Trump is moving quickly to establish a right-wing dictatorship, with Elon Musk commanding the shock troops. Trump is not “defying norms”. The President is breaking laws and violating the Constitution. #DonaldTrump #ElonMusk #Politics #Democracy wallstreetdemocrat.substack.com/p/trump-musk...

NYC Mayor Eric Adams got the pardon from Trump that he desperately sought. Adams will avoid jail but he's finished politically in NYC. What will Trump demand in return? #DonaldTrump #EricAdams #Politics #AndrewCuomo #Democracy wallstreetdemocrat.substack.com/p/pardon-me-...

DOJ will prosecute local prosecutors who won't cooperate in rounding up undocumented immigrants. Trump declares a fake emergency, revokes birthright citizenship and threatens to jail Democratic officials resisting these illegal moves. This is beyond immigration; it's establishing a dictatorship.

Donald Trump's "vision" for America is remarkably backward-looking. He's obsessed with immigrants, oil, tariffs and grabbing foreign territories. Trump doesn't seem to realize we live in the 20th Century, not the 19th. #DonaldTrump #JoeBiden #Politics wallstreetdemocrat.substack.com/p/trumps-ina...

Should Democrats try to find common ground with Republicans in Trump’s new term? No; he has shown no interest in that. Instead he has railed against the “violent scum that has infiltrated all aspects of our government” and called for the CIA to purge his enemies. open.substack.com/pub/wallstre...

Donald Trump's nominees are not just about "retribution". Trump is using the nomination process to achieve his goals of eliminating any constraints on his power and neutralizing the press. #DonaldTrump #VladimirPutin #JoeBiden #Politics #Democracy wallstreetdemocrat.substack.com/p/moscow-on-...
