    Trump doesn’t know who made, or attempted to make, a major policy decision on Ukraine.

    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

      Perhaps Trump should find out and have a conversation with him or her as to who exactly sets policy in these matters. Right now the shadowy culprit appears to be Eldridge Colby.

        Well, here's a different viewpoint. I think it's a little giddy after Iran, but it doesn't hurt if Putin is thinking this way.

          This reminds me of when, in his first term after failing over and over to repeal Obamacare, Trump said ‘nobody know health care could be so hard’, when really everybody except for him knew.

          They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

              They’re not wrong but maybe ‘his side’ will align with the victim rather than the perp for a while.

                First create a scarce, then resume deliveries and have others pay for them.

                  The tariff threat is bizarre. We buy more from Nicaragua. Since 22 our trade with them has plummeted.

                    The Moscow stock exchange went up almost 3% following Trump’s announcement.

                        Might have been more effective had he done this January 22.

                          Hadn’t considered this but it makes sense. A woman born in Yugoslavia is going to know who the Russians really are

                              Methinks Melania did NOT forget how she was portrayed in Russian media.
                              She probably knows better than anyone else how to 'redirect' Donald.
