I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

The "reporter" asking why Zelensky never wears a suit is a propagandist by the name of Brian Glenn with "Real America's Voice TV", one of the propaganda outlets now front-and-centre in the White House press shop. More on Brian here: inews.co.uk/news/world/t...

Trump is punishing media that do not do his bidding - and killing America’s free press

In the middle of working and then my Macbook just decides "It's time to update" and resets my machine. Urgh, by the looks of it, I think this must be an IT-pushed requirement. So, I'll just sit here then.

Here is the key section of that train wreck of an interview by Robert Jenrick on #r4today.

Robinson: Did you raise it when you were Home Office minister?

Jenrick: We talked about it... I wasn't... My portfolio... But we talked about it.

Only a minute, if you can bear it. ~AA

What thin skin. UK prime minister Keir Starmer confronts Xi Jingping on Jimmy Lai and all the Chinese journalists are ordered out of the room
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer confronted China's Xi over alleged human rights violations during the G20 summit in Brazil.
Chinese officials quickly interrupted and ordered journalists to leave the room.
What they fear most isn’t a tariff standoff—it’s a standoff over human rights accusations!
