Imagine being "America first" but allowing Qatar to build a military base on American soil in Idaho.
Guess all you need to occupy US soil is to give a plane to donald. This is the dumbest most irresponsible shit ever. This must be reversed in 2028.

Why should Fox Business care about Trump winning the Nobel Peace Prize? No reason except that Trump wants it and the Fox anchor is deeply committed to him. That’s it.

Any news organization that treated "Will Trump Get Nobel?" as a remotely serious question, and not one more indication of his accelerating hallucinatory patterns, has some 'splaining to do.

83% of global energy demand growth was met by solar, too. This is why we celebrated Sun Day in September - to show that renewables are leading the way and leaving those who want to stop it, behind. ☀️
