I can't imagine how wretched and depraved one would have to be to make a video like that and post it for the world to see, let alone to do it as the sitting POTUS.

He is the epitome of childishly and brain-damagedly evil and callous. There are plenty of evil and callous people in the world, and there are plenty of childish and brain-damaged people as well, but he is such a unique, abhorrent combination of the two; there is none like him, at least no one high profile, that I can think of.

Trump probably won't be around, but I look forward to Vance having to be reminded of his role in all this in the decades ahead.

2/28/2025 1:58:06 PM

Oof

2/28/2025 3:49:58 PM

2/28/2025 4:15:07 PM

I'm lost for words watching this sit-down. Let's even forget Trump and Vance, what was that dude on the side poking in and insulting a President about his clothing? It wasn't even just the insult of it, it was that it wasn't even good, it was just awkward and really really off-putting.

When the little dogs like this think they have the right to bark, you know there is no real accountability or formality left... even beyond communications, but in-person too. so pathetic

Except everyone hates you.

I have a lot of international communications at work, and I feel like such a shill now.

3/3/2025 6:56:22 PM

Speaking of being a bully, butthurt Trump just pulled Ukrainian military aid because zelenskyy won't bow down to him. Sound familiar?

3/3/2025 8:39:02 PM

Even if Zelensky bowed down and kissed his feet like an AI Elon musk, trump would have pulled the aid

There is no scenario where trump helps Ukraine. And pulling out of nato is next

Followed by war with Iran possibly

3/3/2025 8:54:59 PM

^^Sounds like a perfect conversation to me.

3/3/2025 9:34:21 PM

^^Thats why I never understood the mineral rights deal. They sign over the rights and then Trump gives 20% of Ukraine to Russia with no security guarantees etc. And the US would help put in some Kremlin puppet as President of Ukraine etc. Just seems like a terrible deal for Ukraine

[Edited on March 3, 2025 at 9:35 PM. Reason : Add another carrot]

3/3/2025 9:35:37 PM

The whole thing was pre-planned for this outcome. Trump gets to say "waaaah, they were mean, they don't want peace" and use that as cover for doing what putin wanted him to do in the first place. It's possibly enough cover for the non-MAGA republifascists. Cowards, the lot of them

3/3/2025 9:52:06 PM

Conservatives are saying that Zelensky met with key democrats right before the meeting and they were the ones that talked him out of signing the deal.

3/4/2025 8:06:03 AM

Art of the deal right

3/4/2025 8:47:23 AM

Wonder how or if this trump recession ends. Already caused a 5pt swing in quaterly gdp growth to the negative from doge cuts alone, those will likely grow over time too because most of that spending was productive. Consumer sentiment is negative which’s also has medium term effects.

And now we’re stacking global tariffs on top. Markets have been resilient to trumps antics in the past because everyone prices in he caves quickly, but these things are things that you can’t just undo.

withdrawing federal funding from any college/university that allows illegal protests

3/4/2025 9:49:35 AM

What's an illegal protest, and what is allowing?

3/4/2025 10:02:50 AM

my first thought was it seems like a ploy to get schools to spit out how many protestors are students and how many are from outside

like they seek verification of another conspiracy

"President Trump said on Thursday that he will give Mexico a break on tariffs — the latest twist in his on-again, off-again approach to the issue that has sent markets into a tailspin. President Trump has given the automakers a temporary break from the 25% tariffs he imposed this week on imports from Mexico and Canada. Trump's 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods went into effect on Tuesday. After talking to the Big 3 U.S. automakers on Wednesday, Trump decided to give them a one-month reprieve from the tariffs. And then after a conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Thursday, he said on social media that he would give a break to all Mexican goods covered by the U.S-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). "I did this as an accommodation, and out of respect for, President Sheinbaum," Trump said in his post, thanking Sheinbaum for her work addressing migration and fentanyl trafficking."

"USAID officials ordered to destroy classified documents A senior USAID official sent an email to remaining bureau leaders with guidance on "clearing our classified safes and personnel documents" at the aid agency's Washington, D.C., headquarters on Tuesday, according to a copy of the email obtained by ABC News. The message urged officials to "shred as many documents first" and to "reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break," according to the email, sent by Erica Carr, the acting executive secretary. "The only labeling required on the burn bags are the words 'SECRET' and 'USAID/(B/IO)' in dark sharpie, if possible." It was not immediately clear why the message was sent. But current and former USAID officials speculated that it has to do with clearing out office space that is expected to be taken over by Customs and Border Patrol, as Elon Musk announced on X last month. A person familiar with the agency's work told ABC News that "specialized shredding and burn bags are standard procedures to destroy classified printouts and notes." But the person added that this seems to be a "shoddy process" that might run afoul of the Federal Records Act. It also remains unclear whether those ordered to destroy these records have the appropriate clearance to review them before determining whether they should be disposed. "The event will take place all day" on Tuesday, the email read. -ABC News' Lucien Bruggeman"
