The Trump-Putin Ukrainian "peace plan" (drafted w/o Ukrainian input) would hand Russia a reward for its aggression. It's basically nonsense from the Ukrainian POV, and shows that Putin has Trump's pecker firmly in his pocket. www.cnn.com/2025/11/21/e...

Trying the same thing over and over again, without success, is either the definition of insanity or Russian negotiation tactics, depending on your point of view.

The president of Syria, al-Sharaa, has had one wife. Trump has had three.

And to ask "how many wives do you have?" shows what a rude, ignorant xenophobe Trump is. And that Vance found the remark to be the epitome of wit shows what an oaf JD is.
JD Vance: "I don't know if you saw this media circulating on social media, but the president met the president of Syria, al-Sharaa, in the Oval Office a couple of days ago, and he asked him, 'How many wives do you have?' Heh heh heh heh heh! Haaaaaa! Amazing comedic timing."
