If you've ever seen a movie with a mad king that sat on the throne, passed judgement over peasants based on whether they bowed down to him and brought lavish gifts, Trump 2.0 . . .
Oh, and he's entering the "off with their head" phase.

Boy, now that we have a confirmed death from a strain of bird flu never seen before in humans it's sure a good thing the CDC is fullly staffed with the nation's top virologists and also funding vaccine research that might give us a good weapon against it . . .

Just a reminder that with the exception of Zelenskyy, Trump usually heaps praise on anyone who comes to see him in in the Oval Office.
It's what he does tomorrow, the next day & the next day all the way to mid-terms that #ZohranMamdani will have to contend with.
Also - Mamdani, nice suit there.

“They’re doing their best to avoid being held up in a protection racket.” Just ask Tim Cook. (he) took a pass on (joining) a presidential entourage in the Middle East. Trump noticed. In Qatar, the president said he had “a little problem” with Cook. The next day threatened a 25% tariff on iPhones.

If Trump were president of Ukraine, the entire country would have been handed over to Putin on "day one."
Since he's not, best he can do is pressure the real president of Ukraine to give Putin part of it - or stop getting U.S. support.
T'was a time when that would lead to impeachment.

Reasons Trump would be wise not to try & ambush #zohranMamdani by bringing in reporters & berating him.
