Rep. Mike Quigley questioned whether U.S. security guarantees under Trump can be trusted, especially by European allies. “Why would anyone believe a president who let Putin blow through six deadlines? He makes promises and nothing happens, just like the Tomahawks. It all changes month to month.”

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
