Trump's new Press Secretary is practically identical to his last one, Kayleigh McEnany.

She'll do well to be better that Kayleigh McEnany ~ ~ She was as sharp as the sharpest tack ~ ~ I wonder why Trump did Not bring Kayleigh McEnany back ~ ~ She probably has moved on to an even better job !

European leaders will ‘wag tails’ for Trump – Putin​

Opponents of the new US leader’s political trajectory within the bloc will soon be brought to heel, the Russian president believes

The EU has always taken its political cues from Washington and will continue doing so with Donald Trump in office, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said. Despite some EU leaders actively opposing Trump’s election, the newly inaugurated president “will restore order” and bring the bloc to heel “quite quickly,” Putin believes.
The Russian president made the remarks on Sunday in an interview to Russia-1 TV journalist Pavel Zarubin.
It has been decades since Europe last had strong politicians capable of forming opinions independently from Washington, Putin said, referring to the era of former French President Jacques Chirac and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder. However, in recent years, the EU’s policies have been steered by “political small fries” who lack education and ability, Putin asserted. He noted that these individuals have “happily carried out any order from the president in Washington under Biden,” but “got confused when Trump suddenly won” the November election.
“They just don’t like Trump, they actively fought him, interfered in political life, in the US election… Trump has different ideas about what is good and what is bad, including in gender policy, in some other issues, and they don’t like it,” Putin said. He believes, however, it won’t be long until the EU once again follows orders from Washington.

“I assure you, Trump, with his character and persistence, will restore order quite quickly. And all of them, you’ll see, soon all of them will stand at the master’s feet and gently wag their tails,” Putin argued.
Many European leaders expressed concerns about Trump’s potential return to the White House throughout the presidential race last year, alarmed by his “America First” protectionist rhetoric, threats to impose tariffs on EU goods, criticism of the bloc’s low contribution to NATO defense spending, and calls to change course on the Ukraine conflict, among other things. After congratulating Trump on his election victory in November, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz were nevertheless quick to call on the bloc to act in a united manner in the face of Trump’s return to office.
So far, Trump’s executive actions have not directly targeted the EU. However, this past week he reaffirmed his intention to place “substantial” tariffs on goods from the bloc.

Brussels has pledged to respond to these actions “in a proportionate way,” while French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou last week called on the bloc to stand up to Trump and his policies or face being “crushed.”
“The US has decided to embark upon an extremely domineering form of politics… and if we don’t do anything, our fate is very simple – we will be dominated. We will be crushed. We will be marginalized,” Bayrou stated.

One thing Donny omitted from all the rants.
US companies their obscenely wealthy management decided to move operations elsewhere.
China, Mexico ,Ireland wherever!
To drive costs down and gain access into foreign markets.
Irony of Ironies this is why China is so much of a perceived threat today.
If he's serious about tariffs.
Maybe he should be putting them on the top executives that moved out the industrial base of the US.
And get them to see sense.
But reality is the educational structure isn't there anymore.
Financialisation is the only game now.

Just a thought!

The Committee vote on Tulsi is tomorrow behind closed doors. A good chance she will not make it. She still can go to the real Senate vote, but it would not be a good sign. The result will be issued some time tomorrow

Senator Cassidy has said he will vote for Kennedy in Committee and this means he goes to the full Senate vote maybe Thursday and his chances now are very bright indeed.
