Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

X post by Logan Phillips.The text of the post reads, "In the past three days, Donald Trump’s net approval rating (Approval - Disapproval) has dropped by an average of 5.3% across eight different polls." Below this, there is a table titled "Net Support (Approval - Disapproval)" with four columns: "Poll," "Shift," "Last Poll," and "Current Poll." The table lists eight polls with their respective shifts in net approval ratings: TIPP (Dis +8.0%, from App +3.0% to Dis +5.0%), J.L. Partners (Dis +8.0%, from App +0.0% to Dis +2.0%), Cygnal (Dis +6.0%, from App +2.0% to Dis +4.0%), CNN/SSRS (Dis +5.0%, from Dis +4.0% to Dis +9.0%), McLaughlin (Dis +5.0%, from App +5.0% to Tie), Morning Consult (Dis +4.0%, from App +4.0% to Tie), YouGov (Dis +3.0%, from App +2.0% to Dis +1.0%), and Emerson College (Dis +3.0%, from App +5.0% to App +2.0%). The table visually summarizes the decline in Donald Trump's net approval ratings across these polls.

These numbers are bad for Trump. But we can make them a lot worse. Come on, America!

Apart from showing how evil he is yesterday, Trump showed how he’s actually a bad—moronic—dealmaker.

I mean, you’ve got some guy coming in to give you his country’s minerals. Wouldn’t you want to get him to sign first before berating him on global television?

A Fool and a Tool: Trump Is Spreading Russian Disinformation Three years after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Trump is not just siding with Putin, he’s circulating Putin’s lies.

"More distasteful than President Donald Trump’s incessant lying is what the lies indicate: After years of yelling that the 'Russia hoax' was a witch hunt, Trump is now openly colluding with Vladimir Putin." ICYMI @ninajankowicz.com on Trump's Russia disinformation:

Writing about nature has always been a good metaphor to the human condition, and now what Americans face today. Let these repeated canonic musical phrases from the orchestra be a blessing to you this Sunday, as it'll be a veritable elation by the end of the ascend.
