Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.”

Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

The MAGA version of ChatGPT? Didn't that already exist? Think it was called TayBot?

Some little putz from the Louisiana swamps is now encouraging a puppet government in a European nation.

Not to be out done, Lindsay Graham is also demanding Zelenskyy resign.

Trump probably thinks he has some really great ideas, and he's probably also thinking about his legacy too. There certainly seem to be isolationist tendencies, expanding US territory would be a way to leave a mark in history, and he probably wants to be remembered as a strong leader. I think he genuinely thinks that tariffs are going to help in the long run, because it sounds like he's been thinking that way for decades.

I guess the others are tolerating Trump because they consider him useful for their own purposes, and they're probably also wanting to strengthen their post-Trump position. Basically it seems to be about power and eventually legacy. Musk doesn't seem too concerned about money, I think he's been moving in the power territory for at least years now. Money is just the means.

Smells like a good bunch of isolationism to me, so Trump and folks probably don't care all that much.

They'll care when they start having difficulty enacting some of their foreign policies but can't because they can't get other countries to cooperate with them. The only way the U.S. can project power the way it does is because other countries cooperate with it. Once that cooperation is cut off, the U.S. is going to have a hard time projecting that power. That also affects areas like international trade, which affects internal prices and well-being. Trump and his supporters don't think very far into the future in many ways. 

Hell froze over. The prospect of countless children dying from a vaccine-preventable infection is a bridge too far even for Kennedy, it seems. Too bad he didn't have this epiphany before thosands of Samoans died from measles after following his advice not to vaccinate.

Would love to see the Americans react to a high ranking European politician calling for Trump to resign.

America aren't even bothering to hide their attempts at regime change, Lmao.

Like I said before, the only challenger to Zelenskyy right now is Zaluzhnyi, a former military general who fought against Russia and would likely be even stronger against Russia than Zelenskyy, Lol. But at this point I'm pretty sure America would work alongside Russia to try to interfere in Ukraine's elections, likely blast propaganda via Twitter to try to install a Russian puppet.

The Woke Doctors, Illuminati, Liberal Hollywood, Satanists, Baby Eating Democrats finally got to him! Antivaxxers lost their hero!

I think what bugs me the most isn't even what Trump's doing, it's the fact that no one seems to care - or even thinks these are good things. 

The people who claimed that we needed guns to protect ourselves from tyrannical governments are opposed to Ukraine doing that. 

The people who claimed that we needed to support armed forces, are spitting on our allies that have supported the US.

The people who have historically been paranoid about US getting taken over by Russia/China, are now celebrating, even though this is basically the closest we've ever been to that. 

March 3 (Reuters) - The United States is drawing up a plan to potentially give Russia sanctions relief as President Donald Trump seeks to restore ties with Moscow and stop the war in Ukraine, a U.S. official and another person familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The White House has asked the State and Treasury departments to draft a list of sanctions that could be eased for U.S. officials to discuss with Russian representatives in the coming days as part of the administration's broad talks with Moscow on improving diplomatic and economic relations, the sources said. The sanctions offices are now drawing up a proposal for lifting sanctions on select entities and individuals, including some Russian oligarchs, according to the sources.

Meanwhile for America's allies (except China).

Sweeping 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico will start tomorrow, President Trump said in White House remarks. Products from China will face an additional 10 percent tariff.

Trump said the tariffs are “all set” to take effect. He cited several reasons for the levies, including the continued flow of fentanyl into the U.S. In addition to Canada and Mexico import levies, Trump signed an order increasing tariffs on China by another 10% starting Tuesday, blaming Beijing for its failure to tackle the fentanyl trade.

Fentanyl Fentanyl Fentanyl.

Then there is this utter fucking stupidity, Lol.

Trump on relocating chips manufacturing to the US: "It will at least give us a position where we have in this very very important business, we would have a very big part of it in the US if something should happen with Taiwan."

"If something should happen with Taiwan." Yeah, there is zero chance Trump would defend Taiwan.
