President Trump’s approval rating has fallen below his disapproval rating for the first time since his second term began, according to FiveThirtyEight, a shift occurring more rapidly than that of his predecessor. This negative turn comes despite a well-received joint address to Congress, highlighting a day of mixed signals for the president. While other polls show varying results, the overall trend suggests a potential end to his political honeymoon period. The speed of this decline contrasts with his first term, where disapproval emerged much later.

During a joint session of Congress, President Trump declared the end of “rule by unelected bureaucrats,” prompting laughter from Democrats who pointedly looked at Elon Musk. This followed Trump’s earlier introduction of Musk as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a claim contradicted by a recent White House court filing. DOGE, under Musk’s apparent direction, has implemented significant federal workforce reductions, leading to multiple lawsuits. The conflicting statements surrounding Musk’s role highlight the ongoing controversy surrounding DOGE’s actions and authority.

In a recent speech, President Trump asserted that acquiring Greenland is crucial for U.S. national security, stating that it would be obtained “one way or the other,” a comment Rep. Jasmine Crockett deemed “psychotic.” This aggressive stance, echoing previous statements about forcefully taking Greenland, contrasts sharply with Greenland’s and Denmark’s firm rejections of U.S. acquisition. While Trump claims to support Greenland’s self-determination, his comments suggest a disregard for their sovereignty. High-ranking U.S. officials, however, have publicly defended the pursuit of Greenland, further escalating tensions.

In a letter to President Trump, Lech Wałęsa and 38 fellow former Polish political prisoners expressed profound dismay at Trump’s treatment of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy during their Oval Office meeting. The letter likened Trump’s demand for gratitude and concessions from Zelenskyy to their own experiences under Poland’s communist regime, highlighting the inappropriate pressure placed on a nation defending itself against invasion. The signatories, including prominent figures like Adam Michnik and Bogdan Lis, emphasized that gratitude is owed to the Ukrainian soldiers fighting for freedom, not to those demanding concessions. The letter was shared publicly on Facebook by Wałęsa.

If Donald Trump were a Russian agent, he would be acting just like he is now. The consistent alignment of his actions with outcomes beneficial to Russia, even when seemingly detrimental to American interests, is striking. It’s a pattern that suggests a far deeper connection than mere coincidence or aligned interests.
Consider his financial history. Allegations of decades-long money laundering schemes involving Russian mobsters and oligarchs through his real estate dealings paint a picture of a man deeply entangled with Russian financial networks. The influx of foreign money, particularly from sources connected to the former Soviet Union, propped up his businesses at critical times, notably when American banks refused to lend to him.… Continue reading
A judge has ruled that Donald Trump illegally removed a member of a board designed to protect government employees. This action, which many perceive as yet another example of Trump’s disregard for established legal processes and norms, has sparked widespread debate and concern.
The implications of this ruling are far-reaching. It raises serious questions about accountability and the rule of law, particularly concerning the actions of a former president. The judge’s decision directly challenges the notion that Trump operates above the law, a belief held by many of his ardent supporters.
The controversy isn’t simply about the removal of a single board member; it speaks to a larger pattern of behavior characterized by disregard for established institutions and procedures.… Continue reading
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is urging the Canadian government to bar President Trump from attending the G7 summit in Alberta, citing threats to Canada’s sovereignty and economic well-being. Singh’s call, supported by a petition with over 23,000 signatures, proposes refocusing the summit to counter Trump’s influence and build a united front against him. This action is part of a broader NDP foreign policy platform including increased foreign aid, a rapid-response UN peacekeeping force, and military modernization, though it stops short of committing to NATO’s 2% GDP spending target. The proposal has been met with resistance from the Liberal government.

Donald Trump’s bullying of Ukrainian President Zelensky in a recent press conference, along with prior instances of appeasement by other world leaders, highlights a dangerous slide towards authoritarianism in the US. This behavior, enabled by the Republican Party and others, demonstrates a disregard for democratic values and international alliances, leaving the UK and other nations vulnerable to exploitation. The urgent need for increased defense spending and a unified front against Trump’s isolationist tactics is paramount to prevent further erosion of Western civilization. Only through collective action can the free world hope to counter this threat and safeguard its future.

A senior Conservative MP has stated that the UK must acknowledge the very real possibility, bordering on certainty, that Donald Trump is a Russian asset. This isn’t a mere speculation; the sheer volume and speed of actions directly benefiting Russia under Trump’s leadership are staggering. It suggests a level of cooperation and alignment with Russian interests far exceeding any coincidental overlap.
The evidence, frankly, is overwhelming. Trump’s consistent undermining of Ukraine, coupled with his halting of US cyber defenses against Russia and even suggestions of lifting sanctions, paint a picture of blatant disregard for US national security and a blatant favoritism towards Russia.… Continue reading
Following a tense White House meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, John Bolton urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security advisor Mike Waltz to resign, citing Trump’s apparent shift in support towards Russia. Bolton argued that their continued service would damage their reputations given their past stances on strong American national security. Rubio, who has faced criticism for his perceived support of Trump’s approach, defended the president’s peace efforts. The situation highlights growing concerns over the evolving U.S.-Russia relationship and the potential implications for Ukraine.
