Any other president, when threatening to acquire/conquer the territory of our NATO allies & legitimizing territorial conquest in continental Europe by <checks notes> 🇷🇺, would have been immediately removed from office. But alas, Trump is One Special Boy & we don't have a functioning Congress anymore.
Again, this is a presidency-ending scandal for any POTUS from Truman to Obama. It's wildly irresponsible while 🇷🇺 is occupying 1/5 of 🇺🇦 & trying to take the rest, & 🇨🇳 is eyeing 🇹🇼 & others' territorial waters. It is a direct violation of our NATO & UN commitments. Why does nothing matter to the media?
i think it is great that the press is treating this like it’s just another proposal
