🇺🇸 Trump: We spoke to the leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom - all very strong leaders, good friends of mine. Ukraine was discussed in quite strong terms.
We don't spend money in Ukraine. We sell missiles and other weapons to NATO. NATO pays for it and then distributes it to Ukraine.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Trump is really crazy. He wants immigrants from Scandinavia?
Why wd they come here when they’ve got universal health care, great child care and family leave benefits, and more.
The US has to get up with world standards on social programs if we want to attract those guys.

You are given these tests , in front of multiple consulting and corroborating professionals, because your cognitive functionality is questionable.

So the US just hijacked an oil tanker and the president casually says “I guess we keep the oil”

Russia has an Antenna Array of 32 installations designed to Jam/interfere with GPS placed in Kaliningrad.
Its effective range is 5-6 thousand Kilometres.
Moscow can disable GPS across entire Europe.

IDK how it's "evil" to have been the party that created every social program we have since the 1930's, ended segregation, passed the Voting Rights Act, sponsored the ADA & ACA, responded to Dobbs by ensuring women would keep their reproductive rights at the state-level, etc.

The lesser of two evils comments just means they have zero knowledge of laws and regulations and government function b/c they are too dumb to “see” the destruction of those things that’s happening now and will continue to affect us for decades.
