Trump considers US expansion [View all]

Have you seen this headline from CNN. The media is fully in his pocket. Normalizing this and reporting on it like it’s a legitimate foreign policy. He is their guy and they have been his since he strolled down the golden escalator.

This is an outrage. That a news organization would describe attacking key allies, empire building and war crimes as a mere musing by a U.S. President. This country is gone. Their goal is dismantle the whole thing.
