No, Trump has destroyed America in the eyes of the world.
Elon Musk: "Zelenskyy destroyed himself in the eyes of the American people."

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
There has never been anything like this. Trump and Vance look like children talking about accommodating Putin. Zelensky holds his ground and defends his nation… and the free world.

The Russian Federation has been training Trump as its agent for 40 years, an interesting article in the Guardian from 2021. In full. ▪️The source of the publication is former KGB agent Yuriy Shvets. ▪️In 1977, Trump married Czech model Ivana Zelnicková and became the target of Soviet and Czechoslovak intelligence services. ▪️In 1980, Trump opened his first hotel, the Grand Hyatt New York, and met Soviet émigré Semyon Kislin, who was allegedly an undercover agent. ▪️In 1987, Trump and his wife visited Moscow and Leningrad, where KGB agents convinced him to go into politics. ▪️The KGB collected a lot of information about Trump's personality and found that he was extremely vulnerable intellectually and psychologically and prone to flattery. They played on that. ▪️After that, Trump looked for opportunities to put himself forward for the Republican presidential nomination. ▪️Trump was an ideal target in many ways: his vanity and narcissism made him an excellent choice for recruitment. ▪️The same year, Trump began publishing political manifestos in the American press in the form of advertisements calling for stopping defense payments to countries that could defend themselves. Does it remind you of anything? Interestingly, another former KGB agent had previously written about Trump's recruitment by the KGB in 1987. Coincidence?

Trump firing much of our top military leadership overnight is wrong. I’ll speak out against this but I need you to join me. I want all of us, especially our veterans, to call this what it is — politicizing our military. This is dangerous behavior by a President.

BREAKING: In an unbelievable moment, Republican Senator Thom Tillis breaks away harshly from Trump's policy on Ukraine, calling Vladimir Putin "a cancer, and the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime." Make sure everyone sees this.

Here is my first public lecture on the effects of edtech, esp. the practice of putting a distraction machine (computer or tablet) on every desk. With commentary from Hugh Grant, Sophie Winkleman, & the Swedish minister of education -- Sweden has reversed course!
Why are our screen addicted children being taught on yet more screens? A webinar featuring the great Jonathan Haidt (“The Anxious Generation), the Swedish edu minister, experts and me youtu.be/P_GY-cW4-Dc?feature… via @YouTube

🇲🇽 Mexico’s President Claudia argues that if cartels are terrorists, then those supplying their weapons—over 74% of which come from the U.S.—should be held accountable for aiding terrorism. In response, Mexico will expand its lawsuit against U.S. gun manufacturers. She also proposed a constitutional reform to impose the harshest possible punishment on foreigners involved in arms trafficking or any form of interventionism in Mexico, reinforcing national sovereignty against external interference.

Trump has invited Canadian PM Trudeau to the U.S. Governor’s meeting. Trudeau should return the favor by inviting Trump to the Douglas Mental Health Institute in Quebec - a psychiatric hospital known for treating convicted criminals who have severe mental health issues.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Zelensky doubles down: Ukraine is not part of Russia-U.S. negotiations and won’t recognize their outcomes. Any talks about Ukraine without Ukraine are meaningless. 1/

WOW! Congressman Greg Casar from Texas, an emerging Democratic figure, exposed corruption and tyranny within the Trump and Musk administrations by revealing that five inspector generals were fired to prevent impartial investigations into Musk’s companies to reduce waste and increase transparency and accountability for taxpayers. Musk is pocketing a jaw-dropping $8 MILLION DAILY from taxpayers! How much longer will we turn a blind eye to this injustice?

If Ukraine still had nukes, Russia would never have invaded. Yet in 1994, the west convinced Ukraine to disarm - in return for security & sovereignty. Now, Trump is siding with Putin. This is the worst betrayal in recent geopolitical history.
