Ukraine didn’t warn him. China doesn’t need him. Europe’s done negotiating. And the beavers? They’re just quietly saving the planet while America embarrasses itself.

TRUMP: I think we're gonna become a rich-- look, we're not that rich right now. We owe $36 trillion. That's because we let all these nations take advantage of us.
