During the Trump-Zelensky press briefing, the hardest part was listening to the questions asked by the MAGA White House correspondents. Like feeling secondhand embarrassment every time they get to ask something.

Judging by Zelensky’s photo, Ukraine is getting Tomahawks any minute now .
I had a call with US President Donald Trump—a very positive and productive one. I congratulated @POTUS on his success and the Middle East deal he was able to secure, which is an outstanding achievement. If a war can be stopped in one region, then surely other wars can be stopped

Trump now allegedly backs Ukraine’s victory and restoration of the country’s territorial integrity. A complete U-turn. The last man in the room policy at its finest.

Trump agrees that NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft if they enter their airspace. Hope Europe takes this a green light to act for a change.

Donald Trump’s speech at the UN now: “Radicalized environmentalists want factories to stop, no more cows, kill all the cows. Unbelievable.” “I'm really good at predicting things.” “I was very proud to see this morning I have the highest poll numbers I've ever had.” “I'm
