This is a tragedy for the free world, but it is first and foremost a tragedy for the United States."

Trump here is is referring to pro-Palestine protests so you won’t hear a peep from conservatives or even pro-Israel liberals. But just imagine if this was Biden referring to ‘illegal protests’ by conservative students or pro-life groups. Free speech brigade would be going mad!

This post will be quoted everywhere, and I hope journalists will remember to fact check the numbers. U.S. didn't even spend half the amount that Trump claims, and in fact Europe spent more than U.S.
Trump, the most thin-skinned man in politics, goes full on for Zelenskyy.

Trump and Vance are, besides many other things, kind of stupid. Given that musk y los muskitos are going to make the Pentagon more efficient, it is anyways likely that in a week the vanishing of security guarantees for Europe would have been a fait accompli.
