For once - once! - a politician makes a speech I actually enjoyed!

It was clearly aimed at the home market; he was supposed to be there to
talk about security in Europe and never even mentioned Ukraine.  All

kind of ignorant, thuggish, self-serving America he represents.

 "If you save someone's life, they will hate you forever."

Trump's incompetent management of the Covid-19 epidemic in the US probably cost about a half a million Americans their lives.
They won't love him forever, but their surviving relatives seem to have voted for him.
