    Trumpie-poo is still super butthurt at Zelenskyy. Christ, he is such a 12 year old trapped in a cheeto’s body.

    The Trump–Ukraine scandal was a political scandal that arose primarily from the discovery of U.S. President Donald Trump’s attempts to coerce Ukraine into investigating his political rival Joe Biden and thus potentially damage Biden’s campaign for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination. Trump enlisted surrogates in and outside his administration, including personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, to pressure Ukraine and other governments to cooperate in supporting and legitimizing the Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory and other conspiracy theories concerning US politics.[1][2][3][4][5] Trump blocked payment of a congressionally-mandated $400 million military aid package, in an attempt to obtain quid pro quo cooperation from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Contacts were established between the White House and government of Ukraine, culminating in a call between Trump and Zelenskyy on July 25, 2019.[1][2][3][6]

    This is deeply depressing, obviously. But, isn’t it at least a little fascinating? Like, the CIA (actually, secret services at large) knows way more than us that Trump is a Russian asset. And their mission is to protect the United States of America. So this places them in such an extraordinary position!

    This is going to sound incentive, and believe me, I’m also a victim of Trump so I’m a bit disappointed to find this interesting, but this will make for an/several epic movie(s)!

    But to be clear, millions will suffer/die, so it is really all bad. Just… Fascinating bad! 😬

    USA is now officially the enemy of Europe, Ukraine, Canada and democracy.
    Any speculation to the contrary is wishful thinking, and the world must act accordingly.

    Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, EU while talking about lifting sanctions on Russia, should make it very clear that he stands ONLY with Russia.
