I really don't blame him... not like Lakehouse rich kid does Trump.
There's no "winning" with these losers (Putin and Zelenskyy).

Trump 'Very Angry' At Zelensky Following Attacks That Harmed Ally
President Donald Trump said he is "very angry" with Ukraine after an attack on the Druzhba pipeline, which supplies oil to Hungary.
(cut Zelenskyy's money off... let him suffer a loss at the hands of commie dictator Putin... teach him a fucking lesson)
According to Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces commander Robert Brovdi, also known as Madyar, Ukrainian forces struck the Unecha
oil pumping station in Russia. As a result, oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline could be suspended for up to five days, The
Hill reported.
An earlier strike on the pipeline occurred on August 13, sparking large fires, but repairs were completed by August 19, according
to Politico EU. Ukraine launched a second attack on the facility on Friday.
"Hungary supports Ukraine with electricity and petrol, in return, they bomb pipeline that supply us. Very unfriendly move! We wish
President Trump every success in his pursuit of peace," wrote Hungarian President Viktor Orbán, who is allied with both the U.S.
and Russia.
Trump replied, saying, "Viktor - I do not like hearing this. I am very angry about it. Tell Slovakia. You are my great friend."
On Friday, Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó and Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanár sent a letter to the European
Commission calling for stronger safeguards to protect critical infrastructure, The Hill added.
"Given that in the past years, the EU and its Member States have provided hundreds of billions of Euros worth of support to
Ukraine, we find Ukraine's actions, which severely threaten the energy security of Hungary and Slovakia, completely unacceptable,"
says the letter.
"To this end, we strongly call on the commission to immediately uphold the commitments outlined in the abovementioned statement and
guarantee the safety of energy supply of its Member States," the letter added.
Meanwhile, Russia on Sunday accused Ukraine of launching overnight drone strikes that caused a fire at a nuclear power plant in the
western Kursk region, as Ukraine marked the 34th anniversary of its independence.
Russian officials said multiple energy and power facilities were targeted in the attacks. At the Kursk nuclear plant, a transformer
was damaged, sparking a fire that was quickly contained, the facility's press service said on Telegram. No casualties were
reported, and radiation levels remained within normal ranges, Newsweek reported.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it was aware of reports linking the transformer fire to 'military activity" but
noted it had not independently verified the incident.
In a separate development, firefighters responded to a blaze at the port of Ust-Luga in Russia's Leningrad region, a key hub for
fuel exports. Regional officials said the fire was caused by debris from downed Ukrainian drones, following earlier reports that 10
drones had been intercepted in the area, Newsweek added.
Russia's Defense Ministry said its air defenses shot down 95 Ukrainian drones overnight across multiple regions. At the same time,
Ukraine's air force reported that Russia launched 72 drones and decoys, along with a cruise missile, into Ukrainian airspace, of
which 48 drones were either intercepted or jammed.
The latest strikes come as Trump works to advance a potential peace agreement between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and
Russian President Vladimir Putin, following separate meetings with both leaders in Alaska and at the White House.
One unresolved issue in the negotiations is security guarantees for Ukraine. Among the options under discussion is the possibility
of Ukraine joining the European Union instead of NATO.
At the urging of European leaders, Trump called Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Monday to press him to support Ukraine's
bid for EU membership. Orbán, however, posted on Facebook that Ukraine's accession to the EU 'does not provide any security
guarantees," adding that "linking membership with security guarantees is unnecessary and dangerous."
A future summit between Zelensky and Putin could take place in Budapest, though both governments have expressed skepticism about
the idea. Meanwhile, heavy fighting continues on the ground as Trump and European leaders seek a path to ending the more than
three-year-old war.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
