But he doesn't care about you.

But after the Supreme Court’s decision he no longer thinks any command he gives is illegal. Their decision to give him immunity on almost any decision he makes put us in this position.
Trump tweeted a pic of a West Point plaque, but it notes that the US military places loyalty to the Constitution and the law over one man. Is anything more central to Trump’s presidency than his demand for fealty to him over the Constitution and the law?

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Take a moment to analyze what Witkoff is saying:
TRUMP IS BLIND TO FLATTERY FROM WHOM HE CONSIDERS PEERS.
Everyone around Trump manipulates him with flattery, or warnings of treachery.
So Witkoff is coaching Putin (who already knows all this) on how to best manipulate DJT.

It’s not that he couldn’t find anyone better he didn’t want anyone better. He just wanted weak corrupt people who would do whatever he wanted.
People are saying that FBI Director Kash Patel might be fired, but in my opinion trump's ENTIRE cabinet is a joke: Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Rubio, RFK Jr, McMahon, Kristi Noem, Rollins, Nutlick...

7. Now Trump has accepted as his a "peace" proposal hatched in the Kremlin. Its two main points are:
A. Ukraine's actual capitulation to Russia;
B. US seizure of $300bn of Russian frozen state assets, mainly in Europe.
