    Depending on where the demented taco is mentally at on a day to day basis, looks like our next Nancy Reagan puppet master of the US is from Yugoslavia. Wild.

    Which direction were the volte faces in? I have stopped paying attention to this stuff.

      He’s recently turned against Putin publicly at times distrusting him quite a bit more and giving some support towards Ukraine.

      On Gaza he’s softened his views in the gazens and publicly talked against Israel. Though, it’s more anti Israel than pro gaza

        To be honest, it seems like Trump is only acting for the cameras, and when he finally meets with Putin he’ll say “Did I do good boss”?

          Certain aid packages continued flowing. It’s more than just words. Maybe not a lot more, but more.

          I don’t think Trump needs Putin anymore.

        Trump is still Putin’s cockholster. IT just suits them both to have a fake WWE beef before dismembering Ukraine.

        As to Gaza, wasn’t it Trump who recently told Netanyahu to “finish the job”? He’s just trying to deflect the bad publicity that comes from loudly supporting a genocide.

    I mean the first lady tends to become a major player in politics when the president is incapacitated. It happened to FDR and it happened to Biden. Now it’s happening to Trump.

    Edit: as pointed out this also happened to Reagan
