    foreign leaders treated Trump like a “chump” and quickly discovered they could manipulate him by boosting his ego.

    Flattery and pomp from leaders like Xi, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Russian president Vladimir V. Putin seem to have been all that was required to get in Trump’s good graces

    Under no circumstances should this imbecile be allowed to be president, of anything, ever.

    Can we stop with the fucking ads please?

    Trump, however, had other ideas.

    That one line was sandwiched between a video ad and a box asking for my email address. I’d rather have zero access to news stories without a subscription than to have all the goddamned pop ups and online ads that break up the story. The worst are the fucking pop up videos that auto play and follow you down the screen. WHOTHEFUCKWANTSTHATSHIT?!?

      How are you using the internet without uBlock Origin? o_O

      (I also recommend Google Sign-in Popup Blocker on Firefox. And as others have mentioned, Reader mode is nice.)

        If they do it doesn’t work on ublock origin and firefox because I don’t see ads on that site.
