Trump had been hinting that he would sell Tomahawks to the Ukrainian army.
But he did not.
Why not? Perhaps Ushakov, on Witkoff’s advice, persuaded Putin to call Trump on 16 Oct to nix the sale.
Witkoff may have helped block that sale and, consequently, prolonged the war.

Also, in his last term, Trump mused about shooting protestors in the legs. The man is a convicted felon who issued illegal orders regularly to his top company officers.

Trump's team continues to make a mockery of the judicial system by orchestrating the replacement of Fani Willis with Pete Skandalakis. The result of this replacement? Dismissal of Georgia's RICO case against Trump et al (recall a number of the accused pled guilty to avoid prosecution).

End of the road for the last pending criminal prosecution against Trump. The Fani Willis intitiated Fulton County prosecution assigned to a new prosecutor, after Willis ordered off case, and he filed a motion of dismissal that the court accepted this morning. I'll be posting a longer Youtube on it.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Congress knows that Russians quite literally wrote the capitulation document that some people in the White House and sadly many people in the media refer to as a peace plan.
BUT …
Trump's peace plan was authored by Russia and solely reflects Putin's war aims.
Stop referring to it as a peace plan. Stop referring to it as a US plan.
