Watched the meeting with President Trump and President Zielinsky. I need to say... What the f*** was that? That was truly a shitshow! Trump and Vance are embarrassments as well as Marco Rubio. I commend President Zielinsky for standing up and defending his country.

With the Eagles obliterating the Chiefs, now is a good time to remind everyone that the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl they refused to go to the White House because of Donald.

Trump is trying to bully our allies Canada, Colombia, Denmark, and Panama, threatening tariffs if they don't do what he says.
