POLITICO: You pardoned the former president of Honduras even though he was convicted in a massive intl drug trafficking scheme. How is that 0 tolerance on drug trafficking?

Trump wants the people to 'buy their own healthcare'.
He also wants to eliminate the insurers.
Can he elaborate on whom he expects them to buy it from?
How it makes healthcare cheaper?
What it will mean for the average cancer victim?
How it will benefit the average American?
Please?
(it's rhetoric)

When do we stop calling this lying and start calling it psychological warfare?
Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

Q: What is the Republican healthcare plan?
TRUMP: If the Democrats go along with it -- which they don't want to -- I want the money to be paid to the people to go out and buy their own healthcare.

The only Europeans that back Trump, Musk, and MAGA are those who wish to live under subjugation of Russia, Israel, and US or otherwise benefit from selling their sovereignty to these corrupt and hostile powers. These aren't patriots nor actual nationalists, they are traitors.

When a billionaire with major government contracts & ties to authoritarian governments calls to "Abolish the EU," it is not an ordinary political opinion. It is a foreign state actor hostile to European democracy, pushing terrorist rhetoric, and destabilizing regional security.

This is rather like me saying I’m in “the final stretch” of my plan to become an Olympic 100m champion. I’ve got some new trainers and a nice t-shirt. I only need to do the last bit where I run 100m in 10 seconds. Everything else is sorted.
Keith Kellogg, Trump’s so-called envoy on Ukraine, says talks are “in the final stretch,” but admits the hardest part remains. Control over Donetsk, Luhansk, parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, and the future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant are still unresolved.

Agreed. And it's not only improper for American elected officials to tell other people around the world what is right and wrong. It goes from improper to humiliating when the American elected official is just doing PR for a company. (1/2)
american reporters, you've got to call bullshit on this. vance, purveyor of hate/propaganda, wants the public to believe rules on, for instance, transparency in advertising and forms of deception on X are censorship.

X isn’t being penalised for hosting lawful speech. It is being penalised for business practices that make fraud easier and transparency harder. In any other sector, a product that enables impersonation or conceals the identity of advertisers would be recalled.
