1. A story. Please read.
Reposts hugely appreciated on this. You'll see why in a bit.
I was born in Pakistan and lived there until I was 4. My parents worked there as doctors. While we were there we were very close to a couple called Christine and Mike Miles.

No one in DC can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not follow laws passed by Congress.
No one internationally can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not respect agreements made by the United States.
Being a counterparty just makes you a target for another shakedown.

That's what blackmail looks like.
That's what the world is up against.

They were willing to overlook the lies, Jan 6th, fraud, the arrest, the charges & the rape to celebrate his return to the White House.
Now they feign surprise that the sociopath we all warned was a sociopath is indeed still a sociopath.
