Oh this is an old one back from when he originally did it to Zelenskyy and I was so embarrassed by the government that I wanted to turn inside out 🫠

It’s got an odd teletubby vibe

He didn’t come visit in person. It’s an affront, really.

Yeah, no shit! No one else wants involved in Israel's war and Trump's done nothing but badmouth the leaders of every other country in NATO.

I'm beginning to think he's not a good president AT ALL.

It's not Israel's war. Israel is just a proxy for the western nations against Iran and other middle eastern powers. Trump just went off half cocked again instead of following the steady plan to keep them subdued, which is why the rest of the countries are standing back.

Trump’s wrong. He hasn’t been rejected by ANY of his allies.

Those he’s previously broken alliances with? Sure.

Maybe if he renames it the Strait of America they will be more inclined to help

Pretty much everyone in Europe is pissed at Trump for helping Russia successfully attack European land, and now he doesn't understand why we're not buddies? Eat shit krasnov.

At least Ukraine actually offered assistance in dealing with drones in ME, but your highness got insulted at that idea because that would annoy your buddy Putin

EDIT: Oh, and he just lifted some of the sanctions right at the time when Russian economy finally started showing red flags, essentially saving them.
