The more Trump talks, the more he pisses off the world. America is becoming more isolated and more hated. And it’s getting worse and worse by the hour.

I’ll have more at 3PM ET in my weekly segment with Connell McShane on NewsNation TV.

Trumps latest comments at Davos on Greenland, Denmark and NATO are deeply insulting, dangerous, radical and un-American.

Trump does not speak for an overwhelming majority of us here in the US. And he especially doesn’t speak for most American veterans.
Trump: "So we want a piece of ice for world protection. And they won't give it. They have a choice. You can say yes and we will be very appreciative, or you can say no and we will remember."

Trump is NOT crazy.

And he’s winning.

Please keep supporting Ukraine. Keep donating, especially now, during this severe winter cold. Ukrainians need your help. And Ukrainians need you to remember them.

And while the world keeps scrolling, debating, and moving on from Ukraine to the next topic, this is what holding the front and fighting against russian occupiers actually looks like. And this is what actually matters.

This video shows the hands of a Ukrainian soldier who was holding the Pokrovsk front during extreme winter cold.
His hands are like a block of ice, they barely move. The toes are the same.

If they can do it to Renee Good, and they can do it to Chongly Scott Thao, and they can do it to combat vet William Vermie, they can do it to ANYONE.

And they can do it to YOU.

People of Denmark. And Greenland.

Please know that Trump does not speak for an overwhelming majority of here in the US. And he especially doesn’t speak for American veterans.

We understand and appreciate your friendship, your support, your sovereignty, and especially your sacrifices.🇺🇸🇩🇰🇬🇱

The patriotic purged are shaping up to be a powerful political wave. Leaders from the military, FBI, Justice and across the government. And 1/3 of those fired by DOGE that are vets.
After decades of service to our country, a career that started as a Navy pilot and finished as a three star admiral, I was removed from my position without cause.

I still have more to give, more to fight for, more work to do — and I am not done serving.

And in the CFB.
So often in today’s NFL, it’s not the QB that throws the game-winning TD that wins the game. It’s the QB that throws the pick that loses it.

Stafford is/was the difference. And must be the MVP.

They are ripping and tearing our country apart.

Every day. And more and more by the day.

Put ICE on trial. And shut em down.🚨🇺🇸
WATCH how heavily amred ICE agents drag an elderly U.S. Citizen out of his home in the snow! ​ChongLy Scott Thao (St. Paul, MN) was pulled out barefoot and half naked in freezing temps. No respect for human dignity. No due process. Just brute force and humiliation.
