Russian media report that Putin told Trump his own home had been attacked by Zelenskyy, and Trump responded with expressions of "shock and outrage." The Russian media projects an image of Trump as naïve, gullible and subject to the influence and manipulation of their leader, Vladimir Putin.

Putin promised Trump that he would support Ukraine in its reconstruction efforts. As I see it, this ‘reconstruction aid’ mainly involves the delivery of Russian missiles to Ukrainian nurseries and hospitals. Trump is a senile clown, not a president.

A few months ago, ICE agents shot a TikToker. The govt then charged him, alleging he tried to ram agents
Well guess what?
Body-cam footage -- which the gov't delayed disclosing -- shows that's BS.
The agent shot by mistake.
And a judge just dismissed charges.
