Crime in Washington D.C. is down 26% since this time last year.

But what about the crime of not liking Donald Trump?

That’s what the national guard is for, right? Other totalitarian governments have “forces of the Interior Ministry” to deal with dissident and critics

Just prepwork so the national guard can "oversee" the midterm elections in large, mostly Democratic centers next year. 

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Why because they want an end to the war and they aware they need to engage  with Trump in the normal obsequious way, all world leaders do that when they meet Trump if they want the meeting to be constructive. Its really easy to do once you understand Trump. But Trump was also very complimentary to the EU leaders 

End of day its clearly only the US who can get both Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table and achieve a significant and lasting peace 

And that means keeping Trump happy around how you engage with him

Compare this meeting  with Zelensky to  the disastrous one in February, that wasn't funny

I have often mentioned that Trump likes to joke and troll the media and yet many people dont seem to know when  he is joking

Yesterday he made me laugh when he realized how Ukraine  cant have an election Constitutionally  under martial law 

https://people.com/trump-jokes-no-more-elections-if-united-states-at-war-11792856

 During one part of their press conference, the U.S. president latched onto a statement by Zelenskyy about pausing elections during wartime, and spun it to hint at the possibility of him outlasting his two-term limit in 2028.

"So you're saying during the war you can't have elections," he said, interrupting the Ukrainian president's remarks. "So, let me just say, three and a half years from now... if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections. Oh, that's good."

Stupid people want their leaders to not be trolls, I guess.

Having a sense of humour is objectively not a  bad thing even for world leaders

The EU has passed China in nominal GDP, good economic news for our European members

@Elerond

It looks like the EU will economically  survive the US tariffs. This should put you in a good mood 🥂

Tariffs has not had yet effect long enough that they would show anywhere but in  imf's prediction data which draws trend that shows that China will pass EU again in 2026.

And EU would have survived economically full trade war with USA, now long term it means that EU will slowly lose its US trade.

You don't blame the audience for not getting the joke of a comedian. But in this case it's not particularly funny. The "humor" here more closely resembles schadenfreude (presumably accompanied by malicious laughter by the audience). It's German humor, perhaps, but humor doesn't translate well.

Sometimes unintentionally he's funny, but not in the way he'd like to be.
