"I have shocking news to report" [View all]

writes Ron Filipkowski on bluesky. "An hour in to the NATO summit and Trump has already made a complete ass of himself on the world stage again, trashing our closest allies for decades while praising Putin and Erdogan and ranting one lie after another."

And that's how the corporate media should be reporting trump's performance at this NATO summit. You know they would be if Biden had done an eighth of what trump is doing on the world stage.

Instead we get sanewashing language like "tensions are high" at the NATO summit. No, What's happening is a total %%##$$ show,
with trump saying he would take out a "restraining order" against one of the leaders a couple of days ago and devolving from there. I haven't even heard journalists calling out the lies.

And there seems to be complete silence about his ninety minute phone call with Putin on our nation's 250th birthday.
