If Trump believes what he did was correct, then he can own it as the Commander-in-Chief like every other President has done. Trump wanted these guys on camera behind him in the event this situation gets worse so he can blame and fire these guys and deflect off himself like he always does.

I have never seen a US President that was so weak and so scared about taking military action that he needed his yes-man entourage to keep him company at the podium in the Cross Hall.

Moni näyttää ajattelevan, että kv-politiikan analysoinnissa on kyse tunteista ja mieltymyksistä. Siitä, mistä maasta tykkää eniten tai miten hallinnot sijoittuvat demokratiaindeksillä. Hyviksistä ja pahiksista.

Trump is asking business leaders, military leaders, and local officials to break the law for him and ignore the courts. People are only willing to commit crimes for a dictator if they believe that dictator can stay in office forever to shield them from future criminal prosecution.

The reason why Trump and his family won't shut up about him running again in 2028 has to do with corruption.

Russia is doubling the budget for Putin's Youth Army this year so that Russia can get millions of their children ready for the next couple decades of war and conquest.
Militarizing children is not the action of a nation that wants peace.

There is only one way to end the war: put pressure on the Russians. The Trump people did the opposite: put pressure on Ukraine, and relieved pressure on Russia. They have made the war worse while talking of "peace."

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

Lawyers have a duty to defend our Constitution.
It is an absolute outrage that, in order to curry favor with Trump and continue making their billions, giant law firms like Paul Weiss have abrogated their responsibilities.
Thanks to those defending democracy. We will remember.

More than 500 law firms rally behind embattled peers, declaring that Trump’s crackdown on the legal industry poses “a grave threat to our system of constitutional governance and to the rule of law itself.” But none of the top 20 firms join. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/b...

1/ Commerce Secretary Lutnick is saying stupid things about tariffs, including that tariffs do not cause prices of domestically-produced products to rise. He is wrong. Tariffs cause all prices to rise, including domestically-produced products. Let me explain (using Economics 101).
Lutnick: "Foreign goods may become a little more expensive, but domestic goods do not. So if you're looking at Poland Springs water vs Fiji Water, the Poland Springs is not gonna be more expensive. For the first time in your lives you're gonna actually think about Americans who make the products."

Europe needs to understand that the way Trump is treating Ukraine over the new mineral deal (trying to rob them blind but give Ukr no security) is how he will deal with Europe as a whole if he sees them as weak. The only way to deal with Trump is defiance--not bridge building.
