Trump would never concede. Pretty pathetic that Orban is a more honest person than the president of the USA.
Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

“Pushes the bounds”, “a debate has emerged”, “tests the limits” and “sparked debate” all in one post. Just incredible work by the AP. Take a bow
As President Donald Trump pushes the bounds of military activity on domestic soil, a debate has emerged over a nearly 150-year old law that regulates when federal troops can intervene in state issues.

When civil society institutions — big law firms, Ivy League institutions — cave to Trump rather than fight what appear to be illegal demands, do they expect him to be satisfied and stop? Do they believe others should step in and fight where they have not?

President Trump bewildered race fans at yesterday’s Daytona 500, by claiming “Stock car racing has been a tradition since the Revolutionary War.” As anachronistic as colonial automobile races would seem, Mr. Trump was pointing to a serious challenge: the future of American auto safety standards.

What Trump has done for US farmers so far: -frozen their foreign aid program (and left their food to rot) -encouraged EU to ban their products -frozen legally-owed reimbursements for their energy efficiency upgrades etc. -threatened to deport half their workforce -suppressed research on bird flu
Trump on the EU possibly banning food imports from the US: "I don't mind. Let them do it. Let them do it."

If I was a foreign power wanting to cripple US power, I'd: 1. Purge intel agencies + expose agents 2. Mess w/Treasury 3. Politicize military 4. Turn off foreign aid 5. Shutter anti-corruption + election interference teams 6. Sow discord with allies Wait, I'm getting an update...
