"What 77 million Americans did last November was heinous. Without regard for the warnings repeatedly given by Democrats and the Trump gang’s own words in Project 2025, they stupidly voted for a demented convicted criminal with no regard for human dignity and now, clearly, for human life. We are all suffering for their mindless decisions, and now so is the rest of the world."

"No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them."
