Yeah, I know his voters don't see it but 77 million thought trump would do less harm than Kamala. It's only taken 6 months to prove how horribly wrong they were.And Kamala is GOING TO WIN IN A LANDSLIDE!
Donald J Trump....WINNER in not one, not two, not three,...... but......EVERY SINGLE Swing state!

I'm surprised to see him bringing Hegseth anywhere - I thought he was personna non gratta since "Single-gate".
Yes I agree,....those who voted for the Old Ho were in fact horribly wrong.

Trump isn't fighting Russia. Ukraine is. Russia is not a signatory to the NATO treaty.

He does have a clue, and an answer for each question. His policies are his own. He doesn't have to ask anyone else for it.
Quite a change from Biden and Kamala.

I suspect Trump doesn't want to get roped into fighting Russia more than the U.S. already is for stupid reasons. If that's the case, kudos to him.“Trump says whether he’ll commit to NATO mutual defense guarantee ‘Depends on your definition”
“WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday injected some uncertainty over whether the U.S. would abide by the mutual defense guarantees outlined in the NATO treaty as he headed to its summit — comments that could revive longstanding concern from European allies about his commitment to the military alliance.”
“Depends on your definition,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday as he was headed to The Hague”
Trump says whether he'll commit to NATO mutual defense guarantee 'Depends on your definition'
President Donald Trump has received a private message from NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte praising him for driving NATO “to a really, really important moment for America and Europe, and the world.”apnews.com
Must be he don’t want to let all those allies know his battle plans
Most likely he hasn’t a clue what he is going to do, probably didn’t even know the meeting was scheduled and who was attending.
Interesting to see if he again shoves his way to make sure he is front and center of the group photo
I certainly agree that Ukraine is fighting Russia and that Russia isn't a signatory to the NATO treaty. But while I certainly agree that Trump isn't -personally- fighting Russia, the U.S. government has been the primary financier and arms supplier of the Ukrainian government for its war against Russia since the beginning of Russia's military operation 3 1/2 years ago. Also, when it comes to U.S. provided long range missiles, ChatGPT had this to say:
**
Ukraine relies on U.S. assistance to effectively strike Russian targets with long-range U.S.-origin missiles.
Why U.S. assistance is essential:
- Precision Intelligence & Targeting
- Ukraine has the launch platforms—HIMARS, M270 MLRS, and ATACMS—but needs U.S. intelligence support to identify and designate targets deep inside Russia and occupied territories. Ukrainian forces depend heavily on U.S. “sensing and analytic capability” to pinpoint mobile or hidden high-value targets Sources: https://www.csis.org/analysis/can-ukraine-fight-without-us-aid-seven-questions-ask , +17 more sources in original
- Weapons like ATACMS and Storm Shadow are incredibly accurate—but accuracy is only as good as real-time intelligence, GPS feeds, and battle-space awareness provided by the U.S. (Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Shadow , https://www.thetimes.com/uk/defence/article/who-makes-storm-shadow-missiles-russia-ukraine-w622c76xh )

Careful with ChatGPT. It's not a Holy Oracle and often gets things wrong.
Trump did not authorize any assistance to Ukraine. BIDEN did.
Trump is not fighting Russia.

I agree that it sometimes gets things wrong, which is why I ask it to provide sources for its summaries. If you think it's wrong in any of its claims, by all means, let me know and I can review the sources themselves.

That's simply not true. For starters, he's the first U.S. President who official started giving Ukraine money for weapons back when its war was with its own citizens, way back in his first term. But even if we were to only look at his actions during his second administration, your claim would be false. For starters, Trump doesn't have to continue the assistance approved by Biden. This was made clear about 1 1/2 months into his second admin, with his temporarily stopping of all assistance to Zelensky's regime. Since then, not only has he resumed Biden's legacy assistance, but he's even added some of his own. ChatGPT gets into the details below:

Actions Toward Ukraine During His Second Administration
- Military and intelligence aid paused
- On March 3, 2025, following a tense Oval Office meeting with President Zelenskyy, Trump suspended all U.S. military aid and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_policy_of_the_second_Donald_Trump_administration + 15 more in original)
- This pause lasted just over a week.
- Aid resumed after ceasefire talks
- On March 11, 2025, after Ukraine expressed willingness to discuss a potential 30-day ceasefire, the U.S. reinstated military assistance and intelligence-sharing (Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_and_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine , https://apnews.com/article/russia-u...saudi-arabia-ca9630cdccb0a8b904a77d6e134690b6 )
- First weapons deal since inauguration
- On May 1, 2025, Trump’s administration approved a $50 million defense export to Ukraine, coinciding with signing a major mineral-revenue deal—marking the first U.S. weapons shipment in his current term (Sources: https://www.theguardian.com/world/l...-minerals-deal-us-trump-zelenskyy-latest-news + 11 more in original)
- Expressed openness to sending additional air-defense systems
- At the June 2025 NATO Summit, Trump said the U.S. would “push for more air defense systems” for Ukraine, though he gave no firm commitment on further aid (Sources: https://www.ksby.com/world/trump-me...o-summit-weighs-sending-ukraine-more-patriots , https://www.rferl.org/a/trump-ukraine-aid-nato-summit/33454789.html )
Now, one thing I will say, his aid to Zelensky's regime is a far cry from all the aid Biden was giving, which I definitely think is a step in the right direction, but he's still giving a bit.
Poor anchovies, have you EVER heard President Trump at a loss for words?
