To Prez, this remains one of best community notes of all time. To prove we can’t be beaten this idiot tweets a picture of 5 of our warships, 4 of which had been sunk. The remaining is probably now out of action.

Remember when the US had a president who was able to spread positivity and happiness, not just obscenities and hatred.
Donald Trump will spend Christmas Eve with his billionaire friends at Mar-a-Lago on the taxpayers' dime.
Barack Obama spent his Christmas Eve as President surprising kids at a children's hospital. Don't forget what real leadership looks like.

If you show weakness in today's world, this comes back to haunt you. The EU last week could have used Russia's frozen reserves to fund Ukraine. It didn't. If you don't want to get pushed around on the global stage, you have to be willing to do tough stuff...

Only reason joint EU debt issuance works: Germany makes its fiscal space available without demanding anything in return. No wonder Italy and France think it's better than Russia's money. It's free and you don't have Putin leering at you. That must change!

When you're highly indebted, strategic decision making goes out the window. The EU should have used Russian money for Ukraine this week. It didn't because Italy and France want more joint EU debt issuance to soften up their own debt constraint. Putin wins...

Starting to think that the President going completely mad might force his party to act next year.
He's always said crazy things but he's moved to another, and more politically dangerous, level recently.

All Trump supporters must acknowledge this. Their backing of the president means that they support the forced transfer of millions of Ukrainians from a democracy to a corrupt and brutal dictatorship.

What's striking about Trump's lies, and those of his apologists, is that they're not even plausible. They don't try to be plausible. As others have noted, that's kind of the point. True authoritarian control and power is telling a blatant and obvious lie, and showing you can get away with it.
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?
LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

What the US is doing to Europe it is also doing to its one time allies in the Indo-Pacific. There is one rule of action for the US government now. If you are a democracy, you will be abandoned; if you are a dictatorship, you will be praised and supported.
