Trump is defeated and submissive

Even Fox News agrees. This is the biggest humiliation in US history. Facts ... no spin

MAGA owes the country an apology for this

Here are our soldiers rolling out the red carpet for murdering Putin, Moscow's butcher. I never dreamed I'd see anything this disgusting in America.

The man-child disgusts me.

The US is only going to turn around once it gets over being scared of the Marshmallow Tito and starts being ashamed of themselves for allowing it to happen.

That Russia ( and particularly Putin) are an enemy of the USA?

10. "Trump got played."

Pretty much what I expected. Or rather, it's actually worse than what I expected. I figured it would go something like this:

1. Schlump would come out of it with some bogus ass offer to wave under Zelensky's nose.

2. Zelensky would tell Schlump to go fly a kite because said offer would include Ukraine ceding part of its territory to Russia (and probably other ridiculous conditions as well).

3. Schlump would have a tantrum and badmouth Zelensky in a presser, while...

4. Putin would watch Trump's presser on TV while sitting in a cushy armchair at the Kremlin and chuckling to himself.

Instead, it sounds like Putin was the one who told Schlump to go fly a kite, and now Schlump is all brokenhearted because his idol treated him like the hopeless schlub that he is!

So I was partly right: Schlump DID get played, just not in the exact way I expected. Poor Baby Donnie!

14. G.O.P. Draft-dodger-in-chief humiliates US soldiers publicly

Because the republicon golf cheat thinks all our soldiers and veterans are "suckers and losers."

And the entire stinking unPatriotic GOP goes along with him, disgracing themselves as they dishonor America and the men and women who defend America.

15. It's much worse than that. A must read for reading the room and Putin's statement about Alaska being "Russian".

"The choice of the Alaska locale normalizes the Kremlin’s imperialist aspirations outside of Europe as well. “I’m going to see Putin. I’m going to Russia,” Trump said repeatedly in public in the days before the Alaska meeting, knowing well that Russia aspires to regain control of the mineral and resource-rich U.S. state."
