Trump begs Americans to 'spend less time worrying about Putin' while attacking his ex-aide

"H.R. MCMASTER IS A WEAK AND TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE LOSER!" Trump wrote in an all-caps rant on Truth Social on Sunday.

In a separate post, Trump added, "We should spend less time worrying about Putin, and more time worrying about migrant rape gangs, drug lords, murderers, and people from mental institutions entering our Country - So that we don’t end up like Europe!"

A few years before he died, Dad had my sister, her husband, and me over for Thanksgiving.

My sister's little puppy escaped from the house and was run over by a car in the dark.

My sister, my BIL, and I were weeping over the little dead body in the hallway of the house.

And our father said two of the most inappropriate things for the situation:

1. You have three more dogs.

2. Dinner's ready. Let's eat.

Let's say his efforts weren't sufficient to be distracting.

As an aside, I will mention that comparison has stuck with me for some time. I think it was you who shared it with us last year.

Just like saying “God forbid we end up like California“. We need some actual facts and truth in this country

Russia is a shit show. You couldn’t get me to live there voluntarily. I felt sorry for the people. They all looked so unhappy. The minute we crossed the border into Estonia it was like watching a black and white movie turn into technicolor.
