It was, as was his meeting with Orban. But as we’ve seen many times, trump is apparently immune to prosecution.

I loath Trump but he isn’t the only president to get special privileges, he just sucks at covering it up or he doesn’t care.

Trump is already resembling Maduro, making threats if he loses the election.

Yeah remember when he lost to Biden and then nothing happened and he and his supporters participated in a completely peaceful transfer of power just like normal?

I’m pretty sure that WWIII didn’t then follow that event, which is the point. Trump has been consistently saying a nuclear war will happen if you don’t elect him since 2016.

America is fifty bickering cats stacked up in a trenchcoat.

The term “third-world” has been replaced with “developing nation.” The US was downgraded to a developing nation by the UN.

Why the hell is this man who does not hold public office and is not an official representative of the United States meeting with world leaders at all?

I 100% refuse to agree that a candidate asshole like Trump should have access ever again to top secret information. Specially when they are not president yet, and hopefully won’t be.
