Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

P.S. to any American who blames Carney for sucking up to Trump: Americans gave this clown, Trump, a flamethrower when we elected and reelected him. That’s on us. We shouldn’t be surprised when foreign leaders speak to him the way you’d speak to a guy who’s holding — and often using — a flamethrower.

Pritzker: "It's clear that Donald Trump has diminished capacity, which I think is sad -- that the people around him are not getting him help, and instead they're just taking advantage of him. And that's what Stephen Miller is."
