Yes, Trump just rescued the Russian economy
Sure, USA stocks are in freefall, but Russian stocks are soaring!
Trump did say he was going to help his country. That country just happens to be Russia.

So, the way they're going to parse this is that Hegseth didn't say "kill them all," he said "destroy the boat and everyone in it." This is like his Signalgate argument that he didn't release classified info...

Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case.

2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

If our laws depend on Trump’s voluntary compliance — and Congress won’t lift a finger to defend the laws it has passed — then the president is unleashed. We are left to the whims of a man who cares about only himself, a man who is willing to discard any law or standard to satisfy his lust for power.
