https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/22/biden-warsaw-trump-train-palestine/#link-7ZQ4M5GM7ZFDDONQFAYATS3KJYFormer president Donald Trump visited East Palestine, Ohio, on Wednesday to tour the area where a Norfolk Southern train derailed in early February, leaving behind an environmental disaster that has left residents fearful of contaminated air and water. In short remarks given during his visit, Trump chided the aid the United States has sent Ukraine to defend itself against Russias invasion, saying he hopes that the U.S. government will have some money left over to help rebuild East Palestine after the derailment.
I sincerely hope that when your representatives and all of the politicians get here including Biden they get back from touring Ukraine, that hes got some money left over, Trump said, noting that the country has provided billions more in aid to Ukraine than Europe. Thats a big difference, wouldnt you say?
While Congress has approved more than $110 billion in aid to Ukraine since the war began last February, the Pentagon has reported that, since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, the United States has committed more than $24.2 billion in security assistance to Ukraine.
Trump joined other Republicans in criticizing the federal governments decision to continue approving aid for Ukraine. But other Republican leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), recently doubled down on their promise to continue supporting the country. He and more than 30 senators attended a conference in Germany last week to show in a bipartisan manner that congressional support for Ukraine hasnt waned.

Is it just me, or does he appear to be drugged or stoned?

Hal Sparks is covering that stunt tonight on his "show." It's quite a snoozefest. He was just going through the motions, and made it all about himself, as usual. There are times when it seems he is sun-downing.

(113,550 posts)6. Excellent point. And I just noticed that the guy sitting behind to his left looks
to be sleeping.

(32,088 posts)7. His speeches and rallies have been like this for some time now.
He's just going through the motions at this point. There are always at least a few in his audience that look like they're falling asleep--if they don't walk out in the middle of it.
