I’m almost certainly on the autistic spectrum. Undiagnosed, but family and friends concur 😂. Just so you know, I take things literally, I don’t understand subtle hints, (you need to be clear), I’m not easily offended.
“Trump's growing impatience to end Ukraine war is a concern for Kyiv”.

Trump has no interest in doing the right thing by the Ukrainians , he just wants to say he ended the war at any cost to bolster his fragile ego.

Maria Corina Machado awarded Nobel Peace Prize "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy". The complete opposite of Trump in the USA then! That’s where he went wrong!

Putin continues to “play” Trump and his administration over peace talks with Ukraine. Makes them look weak and subservient to Putins whimsy.

No shit Sherlock!
Trump questions Putin's desire for peace after meeting Zelensky at the Vatican

Other nations did not “steal” American jobs. American businesses, such as Tesla and Apple, outsourced production of their goods to a cheaper labour market so they could turn a bigger profit or keep costs down to be competitive. Trump should look inward for the solution! Dumb 🍊 moron.

Is it me or did the US military personnel in Greenland not looked impressed with JDV? I mean normally after a short speech thanking them for what they do on base and for hosting him and his wife, you’d expect a short clap from them…..but nothing, nada, total silence. Awkward 😂😂.

CCC report. Heat pumps on the face it are a great idea, but what is not obvious is the need for a mini plant room to install all the extra kit required alongside the outdoor unit. Many existing homes will not have the space to accommodate all this kit!! www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...
