Trump talks about having a mandate as a way to bully Democrats into letting his policies through. But 2024 Trump received fewer votes (77 million, 49.8%) than 2020 Biden (81 million, 51.3%). Where was respect for the mandate for the last four years?

I just heard Mike Johnson say that the mineral deal would be a win-win-win, because that would give the US economic interests in Ukraine and that the world knows that the US will protect its interests. It’s like when imperialism says the quiet part out loud.
