This is from the Vonnegut museum, and apt as ever.

How hard Xi kicked Trump's ass in the trade war Trump started is one of the underreported stories of 2025.

Why was Jeffrey Epstein emailing Norway's former Prime Minister to set up meetings with the Russian government about Donald Trump? He was brokering access and advice to the Kremlin on how to control the US President. Trump is compromised by Russia. The evidence:
