Trump earlier claimed that Zelenskyy had approval ratings of just 4%, even though an opinion poll released Wednesday by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology showed that 57% of Ukrainians trust him.

    “America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests” - Henry Kissinger

    Certainly no unprecedented.

      What’s unprecedented is saying it out loud. Previous presidents pretended the country had firm friendships with other nations. Trump does away with the pretense. No other president has ever done that - possibly because no other president was this dumb.

        Didn’t Nixon sabotage Johnson’s Vietnam peace talks and illegally try to gain a personal advantage through watergate? That sounds very against America and for himself.

        Honestly I think Americans are wearing rose tinted beer goggles.
