The White House wonders why Europe won’t rally behind America in Iran. Maybe start by asking why your Vice President is flying to Budapest to have a warm chat with Viktor Orban, the man running a Russian influence operation from inside NATO’s borders. While Europe has been bleeding money and weapons to stop Russian aggression, Hungary has been blocking NATO decisions, sheltering Russian intelligence, and doing Moscow’s diplomatic dirty work at every turn. Orban isn’t America’s friend. He’s Putin’s man in Brussels. And JD Vance calls him a “good friend.” Europe is supposed to line up behind a war that had no plan for day two, no strategy for the Strait of Hormuz, and no consultation with allies beyond Israel. A war that has already sent oil past $100 a barrel and left one of America’s most powerful warships reportedly retreating toward the Indian Ocean. You don’t get to lecture Europe about loyalty while embracing the man working to destroy the alliance from within, and then demand backup for a war you started without asking anyone.

FUN FACT: Michelle Obama and Jill Biden never had to hold a press conference to deny being part of a sex trafficking ring.

Putting everything else to the side, if you had any doubt about whether the Trump Administration worked for Russia, J.D. Vance and Trump madly campaigning for Viktor Orban should be all the proof you need

@AntiTrumpCanada You are not alone, mom frere.

Every time I see Pete Hegseth give a press conference and he says things like “warrior ethos,” “lethality,” “peace through strength” and “god is good,” I want to punch him in his smug, war criminally face. Does that make me a bad person?

@DemetriusRO6 "Imagine how dumb you must be to believe that you won the war When your ships are paying $2 million to use a crucial waterway that was free before the war. Takes a special kind of dumb that’s achievable through MAGA." -@DemetriusRO6 Strong opinions there.

38 days in and the United States Commander in Beef has already pulled off the most complete victory in modern history. Let’s recap the wins. 🏆 • Replaced Khamenei (86) with Khamenei (56) • Reclaimed exactly 0kg of uranium • Reopened a strait that was already open - now with a $2M toll per ship (up from $0) • Proved F-15s and F-35s can in fact be downed by guys who “belong to the Stone Age” • Got US bases destroyed across four or five countries (I've lost count) • Shattered allied trust that the US would actually show up if things got spicy • Put Iranians back in the streets (this time for their government) • Installed Pakistan as the region’s voice of reason. Pakistan. • Openly admitted arming the Kurds to stir trouble in Iran. The Kurds did nothing and kept the weapons. • Bragged about the Crown Prince of the Gulf’s biggest petro-monarchy “kissing his ass” • Raised the cost of living for all Americans even more thanks to skyrocketing gas prices. He really did all that to the Middle Eas for the low, low price of a few thousand civilian lives, tens of billions in equipment, and every ally not named Israel. If that’s not the Art of the Deal, I genuinely don’t know what you people expected. And again, we had money to do all that, but not to provide healthcare to our own citizens. Truly a victory that could only be won by someone capable of bankrupting a casino.

@BoLoudon Who needs a paycheck when you’re looting the nation?

President Trump has been President of the United States for over 6 years so far and has been paid a grand total of $0.00... The fact every American doesn't know this shows how corrupt the mainstream media is. God bless Trump. He didn't have to do this.

@signalfire41415 @JD_2020 @JamesTate121 @kittyqueenatx Gaddafi’s downfall was due to one thing: He failed to develop nukes. Same thing with Saddam Hussein. Otherwise, they’d both be as secure as Kim Il Jong.

@JD_2020 @JamesTate121 @kittyqueenatx Gaddafi ended up being sodomized by a random guy with a saber, so there's that. No amount of money will protect them from fate.

A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak. This is not a talented trader. "We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row. That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research. That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes. Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses. There are only two explanations and both should terrify you. Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime. Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse. This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call. While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings. You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American

@JD_2020 @JamesTate121 @kittyqueenatx Perhaps the worst thing is how utterly unsurprising it is to find Trump in this peer group.

@JamesTate121 @kittyqueenatx Explains how Trump is so high on this particular leaderboard, though good luck finding a MAGA hatter with any grounding in ethics left.

There is a certain 'we don't give a fuck' element to this that is just astounding. They spent weeks insisting this was going to be used for deportations and now they're gonna just hand it to Melania? the-independent.com/news/world/ame…

JD Vance is in Hungary trying to relelect a Russian backed dictator. Don Jr is in Bosnia trying to help Russian backed leaders. Jared Kushner is Israel's biggest cheerleader, & our Iran negotiator. This is what Maga calls America First.

The two days that JD Vance spent in Hungary desperately trying to shore up support for Putin’s lapdog Viktor Orbán reminded me of what a pathetic, loathsome, lying, traitorous scumbag he is.
