And yes, this is the USA—not Trump. People need to constantly acknowledge this truth. The American people clearly voted for Trump after Jan 6th 2021, after years of him praising Putin, after him attacking Ukraine and talking about undermining NATO. None of what he is doing now should have been a surprise. And since the 2024 election the US political system has enabled Trump. The Republican Party has refused to stand up to him when it could and instead has written him basically a blank check to remake the US position in the world. So this is an American choice, made by the US people and put into place by the US political system. No more comforting deceptions, please.
