Fleitz, who is visiting Seoul for meetings with South Korean researchers and officials including a vice foreign minister, said he was not speaking for Trump and instead offering his own assessment.

Important to note Fred Fleitz was one of the guys behind the template of that possible peace-negotiation plan this very same institute outlined a week or two ago.

His potential role and sway in a now very possible upcoming second Trump administration is far from clear.

But Trump is a convicted felon - 34 counts. Only a crazy person would vote for a convicted felon. And that's just the beginning. His lawyers have been delaying all the other trials for years now. If he wasn't guilty, he'd want his months in court to be handled and over - though I doubt he won't get jail time - he seems to believe it.

"Project 2025" is another set of considerations for every American to consider. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-seeks-disavow-project-2025-despite-ties-conservative-group-2024-07-05/ 6 close Trump advisors were in on the creation of that 900+ pg document to destroy the USgovt. Trump claims to know nothing about, but he's a proven liar, so I don't believe him.

In Korea, just put a price tag on the number of troops stationed there and let SK decide how much American blood is enough to be spilled for protection and to have American military equipment close to SK for when NK invades without warning.

The former-liar-in- chef said about the Project 2025 group,

"Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them."

30,001 lies from him now.

I think the Dems should just give that one up, no one is listening anymore, in fact, Trump numbers have been moving up slightly, nowhere near down. If I were a Democrat especially one working in this administration, I would waste less time focusing obsessively about Trump and worrying how to keep my base from bailing on me. That ship sailed a long time ago. I’ll say it again, liberals should listen to one of the smartest liberals around: James Carville and stop putting your eggs in one basket.

Trump has displayed a tendency to worship our enemies and hurt our allies during his 2016-2020 term throwing our alliances formed and in place for 80 years into turmoil. There is nothing to indicate that his policies would be any different if he becomes potus again. The world today in 2024 is in a global crisis that requires a US leader with a sound mind, not convicted felon with chronic lying disorder.

Trump has displayed a tendency to worship our enemies and hurt our allies during his 2016-2020 term throwing our alliances formed and in place for 80 years into turmoil.

I think he wants to reach a mutual understanding that each country is doing what they need to do for their best interest. Most Americans don’t want to die for other nations particularly if we don’t have a clear objective or a strong military leadership.

There is nothing to indicate that his policies would be any different if he becomes potus again.

He’ll probably double-down on them.

The world today in 2024 is in a global crisis that requires a US leader with a sound mind,

That is why he is leading in the polls

not convicted felon with chronic lying disorder.

If we focus on that then we can’t vote for anyone and o mean, anyone. The main thing that people want is an American first president and not a globalist one.

Remember, this Fuehrer kissed up to Kimmy boy. And you can't believe anything trump says. Anybody who supports, endorses or even believes the lies this uncivilized sexually deviant criminal traitor says is weak. No hope for them.

I don’t know what’s going to happen this November, but the U.S. deserves a more intelligent president than this criminal and his gang of cronies

He’s an appalling candidate - a track record of not delivering, clearly in mental decline, a thundering ignoramus, a pathological liar, a convicted felon and a petty and childish temperament.

Any decent candidate should be thrashing this ridiculous person.

Blame the Democrats for not having a candidate capable of thrashing him at the moment.

Could change?

Remember, this Fuehrer kissed up to Kimmy boy.

He tried, you have to like the guy, but maybe what we have been doing for 50 years just hasn’t quite worked out, so what’s wrong with trying something different? Don’t have to like the person, but if both sides can come up with a lasting solution that can keep the peace, why not try, especially if it can prevent an unnecessary war.

And you can't believe anything trump says.

Then you must hate this administration because they win the prize in that regard.

Anybody who supports, endorses or even believes the lies this uncivilized sexually deviant criminal traitor says is weak.

72 million and growing are weak? uh, ok, I can live with that.

No hope for them.

Speaking of this administration….

Well, if you consider that under Trump's presidency there was no Russia invading Ukraine, gas and food prices were 20-30% lower than now, and Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, and Women all were making incomes higher than ever before in the US, then I guess we could say the US and Ukraine were in a much better place.

You find those defending Trump the man are as dishonest as he is - the types making transparently ridiculous claims of flying private, running multiple companies, having multiple degrees in the sciences, winning bets that don’t exist, spamming social media with multiple accounts etc.

They must see a kindred spirit.

They are a waste of space.

There are those who vote Trump who see him as the appalling character he is but see him as better than the alternative.

The fact decent, worthwhile people see Trump as better than the alternative is something the Democrats have to carry blame for.
