Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa is a smart guy and he knows exactly how to negotiate with Trump. To get sanctions lifted he’s offered
* a Trump Tower in Damascus
* a Ukraine-style mineral deal
* a DMZ by the Golan to placate Israel
* signing up for the Abraham Accords

Democrats and Republicans are so equally evil and scummy that it really is embarrassing just observing so many people exhibit cult-like, emotive tribalism defending their preferred conman and criminal over one just as corrupt but in a slightly different flavour

Trump just claimed ‘Hamas is taking all of the food that they’re sending into Gaza’ — an egregious lie, as no food or aid has entered Gaza in over two months. He is barefaced lying to every US citizen about starving millions of people to death. If this is your guy, you are scum.
