Trump's Second Term

The US naval vessel attacked a Panamanian vessel, I think this is just the opening salvo, Trump probably instructed the USN to impede Panamanian commercial activity 'by any means necessary' and the captain of the Truman did it old style by ramming.

The US didn't attack anything Panamanian.
One of their naval vessels collided with a Turkish shipping company's, US Virgin Island registered ship sailing under the most common flag of convenience.

Musk screamed about unelected bureacrats having too much power.

I'm not sure Musk has thought this all through. He sells products for average consumer use. I had plans to buy a Tesla a year ago. But I refuse to do anything that might make him wealthier. Now I'm just one person. But I know I am alone.

Years ago the Nordstrom family owned the Seahawks. They sold the team because people threatened to stop shopping at Nordstrom.

Is it your contention that Europe isn't able to sufficiently support Ukraine on their own?

Can' speak for stacyhs, but it doesn't seem likely. The US has been supplying about as much military assistance to Ukraine as all of Europe combined.

Total bilateral aid to Ukraine by donor & type 2025| Statista

How much has each country given to Ukraine? The U.S. provided the highest bilateral aid to Ukraine as of June 2025, followed by the EU institutions.

I suspect that only a subset of those other contributors (namely UK and Germany) are likely to be able to provide the sort of high-end equipment and munitions currently being supplied by the US at any sort of scale. You tell me: How realistic do you think it is to expect Europe to provide the level of aid the US currently supplies?
 
Praise for Putin and attacks on the EU.

Donald has chosen Putin over American allies.

REPORTER: Today you talked about having 3 way talks with Xi and Putin. What do you say to European leaders who say you're more keen to speak to America's adversaries than allies?

TRUMP: We told the European Union and NATO people you have to pay more money, because it's unfair what you're doing, at the same time, we had a very good conversation with President Putin

Trump: "Russia has said from day one, long before President Putin, they've said they cannot have Ukraine be in NATO. They said that very strongly. I actually think that was the thing that caused the start of the war. Biden said it and Zelenskyy said it."

Reporter: You have suggested several things Ukraine should give up. What should Russia give up?

Trump: Ah, Russia has gotten themselves into something that I think they wish they didn't. If I was president it would not have happened.

Trump: "One of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia, and I want to say, 'let's cut our military budget in half.' And we can do that."

Getting closer to that Ribbentrop–Molotov .. nice to see Xi being invited as well.

Yeah, but instead of carving up Poland, this time they're carving up Ukraine. Just needs Western European nations to promise to intervene to help Ukraine if some or other trigger event happens and we'll be all aboard for another world war.
 
Trump on why he doesn't just negotiate with Putin & Xi as part of the G20 body: "It's the people. It's President Putin, President Xi. I don't need bodies, I don't need anything. It's people. It's all about people. It's about relationship and people. I've had a good relationship with President Putin"

Reporter: Do you want to add Russia back to the G7?

Trump: I'd love to have them back. I think Putin would love to be back

Reporter: They kicked Russia out of the G7 because they illegally annexed Crimea. How would you have responded?

Trump: They took Crimea during Obama
 
Trump on Canada's military spending: "If they had to pay just something modestly fair, they wouldn't be able to succeed as a country, and that's why I feel they have to become a state.
Canada has been very bad to us on trade, but now Canada is gonna have to start paying up ... they think we're gonna protect them, with our military, which is unfair. Canada is gonna be a very interesting situation because we just don't need their product ... Canada is gonna be a very serious contender to be our 51st state."

The Trump quotes above that Andy Ross is providing are yet more evidence that Trump is a mentally unfit for the office. He's either seriously mentally declining or just an idiot...or both.
