IHere's what Pres.Trump has done for Vladimir Putin since 2017: 🇺🇸➡️🇷🇺 First term 1Stood next to Putin in Helsinki and took his word over U.S. intelligence 2Lobbied to bring Russia back into the G7 3Withheld military aid from Ukraine to squeeze Zelensky (impeachment #1) 4Pulled out of Syria, handing Russia a freer hand 5Openly questioned NATO's mutual-defense pledge 6Lifted sanctions on Deripaska-linked companies, including Rusal 7Walked away from the INF nuclear treaty 8Walked away from the Open Skies treaty, leaving our European allies with less visibility 🇺🇸➡️🇷🇺 Second term
9. Called Russia's G7 expulsion a "mistake"
10. Declared Moscow "holds all the cards"
11. Opened talks with Russia with zero preconditions
12. Berated Zelensky in the Oval Office, then paused aid and intel to Ukraine
13. Halted offensive cyber operations against Russia
14. Had the U.S. vote WITH Russia against a UN resolution condemning the invasion
15. Said "Crimea will stay with Russia"
16. Rolled out the red carpet for Putin in Alaska
17. Pressed Ukraine, not Russia, to give up territory 18. Starshield 19. Diesel 20. Revoke Graham sanctions That's not "America First." You could never make that list of things a President has done for Zelensky, or for NATO. Ask yourself why.

Israeli settlers are terrorists, attacking/beating reporters and peaceful Palestinians harvesting their olives. Reporter is hospitalized still now with broken vertebrae and ribs. #Israeli #IsraelTerroristState #Trump #Palestinian #Palestinians
#PoliticsLive Meanwhile, on the West Bank, US journalists are attacked by Israeli terrorists. Where is the discussion about that?

I’m not sure people grasp what’s going on. We are living under a puppet regime. The president* of the United States is Vladimir Putin’s bitch and will do anything he tells him to. Murder, treason, you name it. We are no longer a sovereign nation. We’re done here. #TraitorTrump

Now that Trump is removing all sanctions against Putin and Russia… Badmouthing and even threatening Zelenskyy and Ukraine… Buying Diesel fuel from Putin… In turn helping Putin finance his war against Ukraine. We know he’s Putin’s plant. Hillary warned us. She was right. Go ahead MAGA…. Defend Trump.

About 40% of Americans will be diagnosed with cancer. You don't have to do anything wrong to get cancer. It's caused by random mutations in cells that make them grow too fast. Smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, high fat diet all increase cancer risk #HealthLy #HealthInsurance

Trump struck a deal with Putin for diesel that floods the Kremlin with money while Russia actively supplies Iran with missiles to kill and maim American troops. Diesel to save Trump and the GOP in the midterms, bought at a price that will likely be paid for in American blood.
Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.
