Trump is living in a Russian-made 'disinformation space,' says Ukraine's Zelenskyy
-
From chatGPT: “Donald Trump is often described as having authoritarian tendencies, but whether he can be classified as a "true authoritarian leader" is debated. While he has demonstrated some characteristics that align with authoritarianism—such as a disregard for democratic norms, an emphasis on strong, centralized leadership, and a penchant for undermining checks and balances—he has not fully implemented the institutional changes or widespread repression typically associated with authoritarian regimes.
Key authoritarian tendencies in Trump's leadership style include:
- Attack on Democratic Institutions: Trump's frequent criticisms of the press, the judiciary, and other institutions that could check his power reflect a disregard for democratic norms.
- Populism and Cult of Personality: Trump has cultivated a strong personal following, often positioning himself as the sole representative of the "will of the people" against perceived elites and institutions.
- Undermining Elections: His repeated claims of a "stolen" 2020 election and the pressure to overturn the results show an authoritarian approach to consolidating power.
- Centralized Power and Disdain for Bureaucracy: Trump often favored executive actions and direct control over the government, sidelining bureaucratic processes and established norms.
However, several factors complicate the argument that Trump is a "true" authoritarian:
- Checks and Balances: Despite his tendencies, U.S. democratic institutions (like Congress, the courts, and the media) have proven to be resilient and have pushed back against some of his more authoritarian impulses.
- Electoral System and Rule of Law: In a functioning democracy like the U.S., leaders can’t exercise full authoritarian control without undermining the very system that allows them to hold office. Trump's loss in the 2020 election and the subsequent peaceful transfer of power is a counterpoint to claims of authoritarianism.
So, while Trump exhibited several authoritarian behaviors, he did not fully embrace the comprehensive, systematic authoritarian rule seen in other countries or historical figures. Whether this was due to institutional constraints or his own leadership limitations is a subject of ongoing analysis.”

Funny how all the Crypto bros fell in line with Maga when they were so liberal and blue and so many of the Billionaire backers of the repulican party are also into crypto. Also funny how we now have our first Crypto tzar under republican Trump.
Biden asked for companies to make a bid on EV armoured cars, Tesla was the only bidder and it was not concluded when Biden left office.

Again, this isn't 2020. That information is outdated and obviously came from earlier training data. Yet you keep citing it as your source.

"Mike Johnson says this" doesn't make it reality. Or factual.
As for factual:
Republican presidents have added slightly more to the national debt per term than Democratic presidents, according to inflation-adjusted data from the U.S. Treasury Department and the Bureau of Labor Statistics dating back to 1913.

Gonna mess our mind?

Lol crypto did not "start" in San Francisco. And if that's so incredibly wrong, there is no point of even considering anything else you wrote.
-
Really? You had someone blaming Ukraine for Ukraine war and the best you could come up with was misoginy? You really got all the way down to their level there.

And you are not only unhelpful, but also rude. Bye.

Yes, it's called the bank account of Russia... that's the disinformation space he's in. Just swimming in it. Filthy

Russian bot

I mean, if you're gonna engage in disinformation then at least read the wikipedia page on whatever topic you are targetting so you can come up with something that's more believable. Disinfo is most effective when it is based on some true information taken out of context.

With “Ops” in the name, no less.

Is American supposed to mean anything when the Republicans are indoctrinated into Russian disinformation and salivating over a Putin 2.0?
American might as well mean Russian shill, and is being a woman supposed to mean anything? What does you gender have to do with your political affiliations.

Most people in crypto are drawn to it the same way people are to gambling apps. Politics means shit and it's just full of people chasing after get rich quick scheme and fixating the price and trying to convince people to keep buying so they can offload their bag. Who the hell plays up crypto like it's some liberal stance when it's been mainstream for years.

I think you are confusing Zelensky with Putin? The later’s enigmatic but substantial personal wealth is well reported.
-
As far as I’m informed people there don’t like and don’t trust Russia and Putin.
Not anymore. Much of America is stuck in an information space that sees Russia/Putin as oppressed by liberal propaganda, like they supposedly are.
Much of America doesn’t care, or will see warped versions of this news.
Look at poll exit interviews of Americans, or more recent focus groups. We don’t “see” the same realities anymore, and it’s getting worse.
Wherever you are, friend, beg your country to block or regulate Twitter/Facebook/Tiktok and point to us as what happens when you don’t.

(for those curious: the Ukrainian constitution prohibits electing a president during war, it’s especially hard with 20% of the country under hostile control; and regarding Zelensky’s rating, it’s about 70% currently)
A lot of Ukrainians have also fled the country, it makes no sense to organize this before ending the war. Why do we have to have this discussion? They are at war, marshal law is common during times of war to keep your country unified during these periods. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have vast oceans between them and their adversaries to allow for elections of their highest office to continue uninterrupted.

LOL nothing but lies
it has 'grown' to 57% and this from their own biased sources
https://kyivindependent.com/ukrainians-trust-in-zelensky-increases-to-57-survey-shows/Another lie is that the constitution forbids elections:
Ukraine’s Constitution does not explicitly address the issue of wartime elections, except for Article 83(4) that provides for the extension of the Parliament’s powers until the day of the first meeting of the first session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine (the Ukrainian Parliament), elected after the termination of martial law or state of emergency.

And really, it's not hard to hold an election.
Russia is not israel, they don't attack civilians (despite what similar liars to yourself will claim) and civilian infrastructure and life goes on.
Perfectly fine to hold elections.
The 20% is ethnic Russian and no longer ukraine, they wouldn't vote for him or the fascist Banderites that attacked them anyway.
Who knows, maybe the Americans can have another Nuland-Pyatt call and choose a president for them.
That worked out fine didn't it? -
Yep he's trying to fool everyone by stopping all aid WITH EXCEPTION ESPECIALLY FOR UKRAINE.
Still sends them weapons.
He unilaterally withdrew from the missile treaties with Russia (immensely aggressive and dangerous) and put missiles in Romania.It really makes sense doesn't it?
