So now you have a clearer picture of what trumps airplane was up to with putin a few weeks ago.

Remember when 50 high intel officials said the “ laptop was Russian misinformation “.

[williambarnard]

It is undoubtedly preferable to have as president of the world's most powerful nation a wise and seasoned statesman with over four decades of dedicated service to his country. Such a leader, who surrounds himself with capable and ethical advisors, is best positioned to guide the nation toward prosperity and success. In contrast, entrusting this immense responsibility to a figure marred by criminality, who associates with similarly unscrupulous individuals and prioritizes personal gain and authoritarianism, poses a grave threat to the principles of democracy and the nation's well-being.

You dont knows anything about Hungary if u thinks theres a dictature ...

[dr.dumddum]

"Dictator playdate?" You are slandering two great men. Who are you?

[dealundquist]

Viktor Orban wants peace and does that he was elected for by the Hungarian people. He is the only adult in the room in EU. Tragicly so true.

[melanielim-skulskie]

They want peace! That is not DICTATORSHIP!

[Artgirl]

How good that at least someone is serious about peace and is taking the first steps in the right direction.
Most people just talk about what isn't possible and do nothing.
And I really believe that Trump and Orban will bring peace despite massive resistance from Biden and Scholz and other war supporters.
It doesn't matter what compromises will be necessary, because the dying must finally come to an end.

[imrenagy]

Simply dirty lies that she says. I think - she and the majority of American people has got the faintest notion and idea where Hungary is and who Mr Orbán is. It is an utter shame!

[TrumpsOURPresident]

Does anyone know about Hungary because thats a nice country

[freebozkurt]

Discipline Hungary? Who do you think you are? Is Hungary a pupil and you are the teacher? Or what? These days it is the way around. Grow up and first listen and learn from Hungary

[Ricky-gi]

OMG Biden just called Zelensky PRESIDENT PUTIN.

[c.a.t.]

Trump knew full well that Russia was meddling in the 2016 election. His campaign manager Paul Manafort, who met with Russian military intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik to strategize about defeating Hillary Clinton, said that Trump knew about and welcomed Putin's efforts on his behalf.

[annekeszabo]

ASK TRUMP SUPPORTERS IF THEY WANT TO LEAVE TRUMP ALONE WITH THEIR 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS, IF THEY AGREE, SHOW THEM THE EPSTEIN DOCUMENTS.

[RaynaHelmer-vrev]

How about starting to let the country know that Donald Trump has never paid Tax!!

[sallylee]

By the way you guys had Fetterman almost dead.

[christianbolt]

More inflammatory headlines by MSNBC, who would have guessed

[VincentTansoon]

He is more important to US not to war. Trump's wanted Americans to be in good position and great again. Trump's ability is to stopped war. I support him to win this Election in America.

[brianferris]

Say no to Trump and project 2025-! When Trump empathizes with Putin and threatens to leave NATO you know you need to vote blue-!

[sharontalley]

Perfectly natural for Trump to meet with Putin and other autocrats. He has showed us who he is and told us what he will do. That's why we have to vote blue in November. A vote for Biden is a vote for freedom.
