“THANK YOU TO PRESIDENT PUTIN“
Donald Trump has thanked Vladimir Putin for backing his bid for the Nobel Peace Prize — despite not being awarded it.
Earlier, the Russian president dismissed the Nobel committee’s decision, claiming the prize had “largely lost its prestige.” #TheAsset @kyivpost.com

“All of these actions reflect a buoyed commander in chief who feels emboldened to go further after feeling as though he has faced surprisingly little resistance to his ambitious agenda in the first nine months. He has even remarked to aides that he is shocked how easy it has all proven to be.”

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

What is relevant is the message, not the time of the message. He has been declining in public since 2016, and he has been a fraud and a liar all of his life. That is the message.

At an AI summit, Trump bizarrely claimed his uncle at MIT once taught the Unabomber, who never attended MIT and wasn’t identified until years after his uncle’s death. Later, he forgot he appointed Jerome Powell. Trump’s false claims are growing. #Trump #CYNCVerity #BlueDartAlert @politico.eu
