I think Trump doesn't live in reality - he lives in Putin's alternative reality (one which hates America). Which makes it even more baffling as to why he got some many "patriot's" votes.
Let me get this right. #Trump says Canada, a country famed for its politeness, are 'nasty'. While Russia, a warmonger who calls for the death of all Americans almost daily, are very good friends.
The USA is mentally ill.

Interesting analysis showing how the #US-Economy performed under Biden.
Given the facts, making claims that the economy 'went to hell' shows #Trump'sEconomicIgnorance is shocking.
Why would anyone put such ignorance in charge of their economy?

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

Of course he knew about the plan to invade Ukraine! #TraitorTrump

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.
If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely

So Trump told Congress they spent $8m making transgender mice.
This was referring to transgenic which means inserting human genes to study cancer and asthma.
How do people listen to this and actually believe the complete rubbish?

I know and it's good to know. But he's has 4 years in power and he can do massive power since the Republicans also control both houses. Following the Putin playbook, there may not be a democracy left in 4 years.
06.03.2025 21:32 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0He didn't win by a landslide, but he had a huge disinformation campaigns being run on all social media by Musk and Putin, and possibly other sources too. Without that, there's no way he would have won.
06.03.2025 21:30 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Agreed. But those are factors being created by the Trump's and Musk's. Twitter was trying to flag questionable posts to give people an idea when to double check things. Thatvwas what Musk objevted to and removed. He's creating AI for the same purpose, to control and misinform.
06.03.2025 21:28 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I agree it's generally good. But Trump and Musk are deliberately prolific and know most people don't fact-check. They are tool which spread mass disinformation. I don't think Trump would have been reelected if twitter had not been sold to Musk and turned into a propaganda machine.
06.03.2025 21:20 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0In fairness the Internet is one of the main places for disinformation. Why do you think Musk and trump have social media platforms. Musk doesn't care about free speech - his campaign is to protect him from the consequences of abusing that freedom. He wanted twitter to spread misinformation.

Of only everyone would perform such a public service.
You're right. But many are more fearful of war than they are of liberalism. And trump is pushing the world in that direction. It's very sobering when faced with the prospect of war.

06.03.2025 20:40 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Throwing more bodies into Ukraine will quickly turn his people against him. Russia is taking 50 year old tanks out of storage and going cap in hand to DPRK. They're not strong.
Thwir cyber capability is limited since Trump is actually undermining their disinformation campaigns without intention.
Indeed. And it's likely that the Trump shit show which is going on is a step too far. Many Europeans are rethinking voting for the far right as a result. Even in the USA less than 10% went with him about 'Ukraine starting the war'. So I think he's damaging the far right in the EU.
06.03.2025 20:35 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0Russia is not a threat. They have been so badly damaged by the Ukrainian war that they couldn't contribute to such a thing. The question is whether enough politicians would stand up to trump to block such an action.
06.03.2025 20:30 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Well Putin's military are in really bad shape - the Ukraine conflict has had a major impact.
And I think the US military would hesitate to attack an ally, especially in conjunction with a country who calls for America to be nuked almost daily...
Trouble is he's cozying up to Putin whose a much more shrewd operator and who has his own ideas that won't favour America.
Putin is a WWII fan and things right now feel like the days prior to the Nazi/Russian invasion of Poland which started WWII, only with Putin and Trump.
