Too tough? Ron Filipkowski: "The weakest president in US history. We are an absolute joke to the world."

This was in response to trump's comment about a NATO ally (Poland) being attacked by Russia. He said "it could have been a mistake." The Prime Minister of Poland disagreed and posted on X: "No, that wasn't a mistake."

There seem to be no expectations at all anymore that trump stand up to Putin. And European leaders are obviously done being diplomatic with trump.

in such a low key, "what do I care?" kind of way that if any other president did that with no facts and no plan of action, there would be calls for impeachment. I mean, the average blowhard at the local diner would sound more decisive.
