Trump on his new White House ballroom: "In order to do it properly we had to take down the existing structure."

Journalist: You are lobbying more weapons to be sent to Ukraine, how do you justify that morally... you think more weapons will wind down the war?

There’s a special place in hell for journalists who sit safely under the protection of the strongest country on earth,

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

‼️ explosions sounding in Kyiv again tonight with russian UAV’s flying at an extremely low altitude. Residential buildings in at least two areas of the capital have been hit. #RussiaIsATerroristState

Only in lawless America. There is no bottom; calling Republicans' actions disgraceful, it's praising them.

Q: Your response to people who say you haven't been transparent enough about demolishing the East Wing?

TRUMP: I haven't been transparent? Really? I showed this to everybody that would listen. 3rd rate reporters didn't see it because they didn't look. You're a third rate reporter. Always have been

So many things have been said and written about Ukraine over the past four years. So many actual Ukrainians, despite constant, unimaginable harassment, have come forward to speak openly about our experiences, russian war crimes, and our country in general.
