1. I want to suggest today that what we are seeing on Wall Street and in markets around the world is the sudden realization that the president is mentally unstable – that he has dementia, probably – and as a result of that realization, investors no longer have any faith in Donald Trump.

Black women in banned states were 3.3x as likely to die as white mothers in those states.

And in other news, the Trump administration is dropping US cyber defenses against Russia.

Now watching Trump yell at Zelensky. And Vance talk to him like he's a toddler. This is a shameful moment for United States diplomacy. It will be hard to recover from this.
Occam's Razor: always go back to Trump's 3 core beliefs, as spelled out by Tom Wright in 2016: Trump is anti-trade, anti-alliances, and pro-authoritarianism. All the theater with Macron and Starmer, all the talk of deals--he is not going to give Ukraine security anything.
‘Vance accuses Zelensky of being "disrespectful".
Trump then says the Ukrainian leader is "gambling with World War Three".
The meeting ends with Trump telling Zelensky that he is not being "very thankful" and that "this is going to make great television".’ www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c6...
