I support President Trump for standing up for the Americans. Sloppy Joe just kept giving Ukraine the money and equipment. What the democrats that don't realize and have no common sense is that there are a lot of Americans that can't even pay for their rent and/or groceries. Think about it.

As we've just rejected all our allies, I don't think anyone should.

Those that continue to support Ukraine what is your solution to end the fighting? It is only through diplomacy that we can reach a conclusion.

Those who reduce the situation to “Putin/Russia bad, Zelenskyy/Ukraine good” haven’t been listening. Zelenskyy sold out his own country in back room deals with Hunter and The Big Guy. Now he wants NATO to risk WW3 to keep him in power. He could achieve peace and security for his country tomorrow.

We shouldn’t be on Russia’s side on this one. Maybe we have sent a disproportionate amount of aid over to Ukraine, but we can’t sit by and let Russia take over countries by force.

We are not on Russia side, we are on America's side and ending that war is in America's best interest. Plus, when you see multiple videos of young men being pulled from the streets in the Ukraine to be forces to the front lines, no, enough death. End it.

Putin should take his military out of Ukraine. He is not going to do that if he thinks Ukraine will stop fighting. Trump wants Ukraine to just stop fighting, plus he wants to steal their mineral resources while he is at it. Ukraine is a free and independent country and I support their fight.

I support democracy and human rights. I remember when Republicans stood up to Russia. Now they bend over to Russia.

We are showing ourselves to be unfaithful friends, siding with criminal murderers, and promoting lies in order to justify an immoral position.

trump is slowing eroding our freedoms and eliminating our three part government by all he has done so far in office.

Seems like this brutal attack on President Zelensky was preplanned. Trump needs to get his nose out of Putin's backside and on the side of America, I fear that the US is heading for a dictatorship under this very unqualified administration. trump and vance were totally wrong for bullying President Z

If the world surrenders Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time before Russia attacks another country, just like Hitler did.

I disagree, please review the history of the area for more than one or two sources. It's time for this war to end, too many lives have been lost.

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade

Incidentally, our previous president has not acquired enough money to build his presidential library, not even enough money for a presidential magazine stand.

I didn't but have total support for the vast majority of what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish. The country was harmed greatly by the Democrats, they plundered our wealth, Republicans also played a hand. No more.

Do a little research on how our national debt has grown under republican presidents compared to democrats. Also see how Reagan and "trickle down economics" is what put us on the path to financial ruin while creating the tremendous wealth inequality we see today.

Going back nearly fifty years, when I was in the military, and Carter was the president, the military was starving. As an E-6 with a wife and two children, legally, I qualified for food stamps. Instead, I got a part-time job. Carter, was a far better president than Obama, and Biden. Facts are tough.

You got tired of that with 8 years of Obama and 4 years of Biden. That's over, now.
