We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.

He doesn't care who suffers under his policies. Anyone who thought he was for the people was sadly deluded.
A reporter asked Trump what he planned to do about thousands of dock workers and truck drivers who were losing their jobs because there were no ships bringing in goods and he shrugged and said, “that means we’re losing less money.”

First, Donald Trump blamed Zelenskyy for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Then, he says he “trusts” Putin.
Now, he’s frozen bipartisan military aid.
