The European media MFers are just as bad as our own media. WTF is up with these questions?

What world are these people living in? Perhaps they could be excused for not being fully conversant with what is happening in DC, LA, Minneapolis, Portland and so many other places in the US. But how can they ignore what Trump did in Venezuela, kidnapping the President, stealing the oil and depositing the money in his own private bank account?

How can they ignore the direct threats that Trump is making against Denmark and Norway? How can they ignore the threats of (and actual) tariff wars? How can they ignore the undermining of Ukraine, which Europe's most important buffer from Putin's aspirations of reconstructing the USSR on Europe's eastern border?

WTF? This is really unbelievable.
