To have a respectful discussion about Trump. Did you expect him to act in the way he has? Are you happy with it? What’s the mood towards him over there?

I’m completely speechless at his ambush of Zelenskyy tonight and just trying to understand how this has come about, and whether he has support to continue acting in this way. He was obviously chosen to be President by the public but I assume they would never have guessed how the last few weeks would have gone.

I live in the USA. There will be people who just love the hard man that Trump looks like he's being - if you want our support, give us your minerals. No minerals, no support and no that support won't ever been American troops anyway. What's in it for us, basically.

There will be others holding their heads in their hands, wondering wtf is going on with this man.

I’m not American but I completely get why a certain mentality of American would love Trump but the spoiling for a world war… the ramping up the tension… do solid Christian right wing apple pie loving Americans really want that???

Horrified but not really surprised-he said that he would do these things. Actually, it is a bit more extreme than I thought re Musk and co. Awful awful awful- I don't know anyone who can stand this administration

I'm American but have lived in the UK for a long time. I am so angry by what they're doing. No one I know voted for them so everyone I know is finding it all a lot to deal with.

@Maitri108 77 million, and regret is growing amongst all, save the most rabid. The coming tariffs & cuts will sway even more.

Not US, but how could one not be deeply embarrassed by this spectacle?

His supporters will be loving it. USA! USA!

They voted for the freaks.

I am horrified, but not surprised. I, along with many people I know, detest trump/vance. We could NOT believe he was elected again. And now we all hope reason will prevail and he and his minions will be stopped before everything escalates, but no idea how.

Bump…
