Donald Trump has confirmed since 20th January that he is an aberration in American politics. That was clear in his first term, but many refused to acknowledge reality, fervently hoping his second term would be a legacy-building project.

Ukraine’s Volodomyr Zelensky is “a dictator without elections,” with only a four percent approval rating( https://www.newsweek.com/what-trump-has-said-about-zelensky-since-2022- 2039000 ). The war in Ukraine( https://apnews.com/article/trump-speech-congress-transcript- 751b5891a3265ff1e5c1409c391fef7c ) is “madness” and “senseless.” While it is true Russia is currently “pounding” Ukraine, “probably anyone in that position would be doing that right now(...
