Absolutely unacceptable. Trump is a narcissist and a bully; America needs to wake up and see the truth before it pushes its allies further and further away. Only way to beat a bully is to stand up to them…

Merry Christmas to all my friends and colleagues. Wishing you all a happy and prosperous 2025! 🎄🎁🎅
