It’s a big strategic shift that China is trying to make the argument that it’s a reliable predictable partner and plays by the rules and it’s a “big strategic disadvantage” of the US, says Jonathan Finer, ex-US Principal Deputy National Security Advisor bloom.bg/3X6vF5S

During my time on Trump's National Security Council, I reviewed a lot of calls between Trump and foreign leaders.
One of, of course, was the call with President Zelenskyy. Another was with Trump and Mohammed bin Salman.

You know about Trump and Zelesnkyy’s call, but have you heard about the call between Trump and the Saudi Crown Prince?
Watch my statement below. Mr. President, release the transcript.

Why did it take several days for Trump’s “Quiet, Piggy” insult of a female reporter to gain traction in news coverage? Because it happened on a Friday night, when many journalists had started their weekend. And because, sadly, he's trained the media to think accepting his insults is part of the job.

Good analysis.
Trump really shivved JD Vance when he endorsed Tucker's interview w/Nick Fuentes, who had been mocking Vance and making racist comments about his wife. Trump basically dumped the Fuentes mess on him.
