To my knowledge, Stephanie Ruhle broke the story.
That's silly language in the Trump era--as if anyone was needed to be the lead reporter concerning news made by our President, who makes his own news, really doesn't depend on anyone to get it from him, just spills it when and where he will.
But it was Stephanie Ruhle who was the first to get an admission from the King that he'd consulted the oil company muck-a-mucks before his Venezuelan adventure (it killed 60 or so military on loan from Cuba, I guess, but then that's not worth noting really, Cubans being commies).
He told the billionaire oil magnates among us, that he was going to pull of stunt that they needed to be ready for. Once it was over and all the troops were home and okay, he called them again.
I don't know that there could be a more clearly outlined characterization of the Trump autocratic character. He did not talk to democracy's reps, the men and women we voted in to do the work of governing--none of them, either party; the people he talked to are the ones with the yachts, the filthy rich.
Why is that impossible to see?
Young Queen Victoria is a good movie, worth your time. It's set during the mid-19th century, of course, when the English aristocracy, and monarchy, was scared half to death of the bloody mess of the French Revolution, as well they should have been. The masses have every right to boil in anger when the power is not just primarily but overwhelmingly in the hands of its Elon Musks.
True then, and true now.
Seriously, do we have to take Greenland before his cult signs off?

Now we can't ignore the fact that Trump and Putin are cut from the same cloth. How can we make Putin undo his invasion of Ukraine when Trump is doing the same thing? The "king" is risking the credibility of our country throughout the world. We take Greenland and we ruin NATO. Of course Trump never liked NATO anyway. The mob boss is doing his thing. Way to go, all of you who voted for him.
