Trump ally turns on JD Vance over Ukraine remarks: 'Wrong, wrong, wrong!'

Nigel Farage criticized remarks made by JD Vance, who referred to "random countries" who hadn't fought a war in decades.

I have to give credit to Farage. He's definitely started to criticise Trump and his regime more. I honestly didn't expect it and thought he'd be a loyal lap dog.

Trudeau has the benefit of having one foot out the door and Liberals yet to pick a leader. So he doesn't need a working relationship with Trump and can appeal to voters in Canada and the new guy can pick up the pieces and restart the relationship.

So, basically, he's doing this

I'm still hopeful that there's a moment or event that causes things to unravel. I'm not convinced Rubio lasts the distance. Things could go south when he's ****** off enough Republicans.

Vance is like the modern day version of Trading Places. One day he'll realise the country club set and the world are laughing at him for exactly what he is. Still just a hill billy at heart

Rubio is another lap dog with no spine what so ever. Any political moderate credentials he once had died when Trump won.

I think I hate Vance more. Trump is Trump but Vance is a sinister piece of ****. The good thing about last Friday is that the cameras caught it all and so they couldn't use dark arts to airbrush it not that that would matter for MAGA.

It's obvious Vance is trying to pull the strings while Trump is being Trump.

Is there nothing to stop them going too far? I'm a bit surprised nothing hasn't been flagged already.

At the moment i eally don't see how they do not push for a third term if not longer. Who's going to stop them?

If as been threatend they simply ignore the Judges / legal system the American constitution falls apart and by then the system is more so geared to the Republicans.

If it's a **** show now what's it going to be like a year out from an election

**the only country they seem not to have offended is Russia, weird that**

I’d be surprised if there isn’t a fallout before long, Trump doesn’t like to share the attention.

Its quite black and white in the constitution any judge would rule ballot papers do not print his name. In the case of write ins ignored as invalid votes.

He could install a puppet like Putin but I think any puppet would too uncontrollable.

But yeah it would require mass conspiracy rather than a few people at the top pulling the strings. As noted it's part of the constitutions so your essentially talking American Civil War if he tried to ignore it.

Birthright citizenship is also explicitly in the Constitution and he's trying to ignore that.

Congress being the body that allocates funding is in the Constitution and that's being ignored.

Federally appointed officials by Congress is in the Constitution, that's being ignored.

The real test will be when it gets to the supreme court ruling on these. These are all clear cut cases with no room for interpretation. They will either support or wholly abandon the Constitution, there is no middle ground with these.

At that stage we could be looking at violence... Russia couldn't have played it any better.

Sagging approval ratings that Trump will deny...of course.

Trump to address nation amid sagging approval ratings

President Donald Trump is set to address a joint session of Congress Tuesday night amid sagging approval ratings, according to recent polling data, even as he maintains he has a "resounding" mandate from Americans who elected him and will likely use his prime-time speech to justify his actions...

Elon, Trump, Vance...all reeks of this

Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the US, our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!" Trump says on his Truth Social platform.

Pretty sure the point of Vance is that Trump is so full of shit, he needs 2 arseholes!
