- Trump “will not give a penny” more to Ukraine if he becomes president, Hungary’s prime minister said.
- That’s how Trump plans to end the war, Viktor Orbán, who met Trump at Mar-a-Lago, said.
- The Trump campaign has not said whether the pair discussed Ukraine during the visit.
Lmao of course Putin’s allies know trumps plans.
They are Putin’s plans.
If we genuinely allow this man to run for president and evade jail time, we should genuinely start building guillotines.
I don’t live in US but I’m immensely surprised he can still run for President with all the things going on with him.
Thought by now he would’ve been sent to jail/prison.
Unfortunately, a lot of our government is crooked as hell and Trump was basically able to put people that align with him into certain positions, such as two of the supreme justices that oversee very high profile cases such as the one where Trump argued presidents should have immunity from crimes done during presidency.
Then you compound that with the actual literal fascist party that is the Republican party who only care about lining their pockets with money and being ok with corporations running things, and you get the shitshow that is the US today where citizens will actually support a fascist insurrectionist who clearly wants to align himself more with Russia and potentially even China, and says things such as “I will be a dictator for one day” and “the US should pull out of NATO”.
I fear for this country and genuinely am glad I don’t live in the mainland USA - and I wouldn’t be too opposed to having my state go back to being a British Territory if Trump gets elected again.
Unfortunately the US has basically been running on the polite fiction that people who want to be leaders will be good leaders and behave like rational human beings.
So when someone who has no good intentions and is not rational got into power, we learned that a lot of things we thought of as laws were really just habits.
And as much as it sucks, it’s actually sensible that trump can run until he’s been proven guilty. Otherwise a wannabe dictator could just drown the opposition in frivolous lawsuits and bar them from running because of the suspicion of crime.
Don’t get me wrong, I think trump is guilty as sin and is a danger to our democracy. But, we need to be careful how we respond to this, or it could be worse when the next maniac gets into power and starts banning people from running because all of his opponents are suddenly under investigation for tax irregularities or littering.
He was found guilty of insurrection in a state court. So that he can’t run for president. But then the federal supreme court decided that this particular provision of the constitution is not self executing. And the Congress must pass a law to find Trump ineligible to run. They didn’t comment on the insurrection part.
So Trump has been found guilty of insurrection and he can still run for president.
We are too.
To be fair, you could stop a random person on the streets of America of either major political party and ask them if Trump wins will he give any money to Ukraine and you won’t get a single different answer.
You don’t exactly need an inside line to get this kind of hot tip.
