Truman Show presidency?

Fiona Hill was terrible at her job. The first time I remember hearing her name was during Impeachment Hoax # 1, where she worked hard to say anything bad, but there wasn’t much. It was a total con job. She may have been in the Oval and conference rooms with me, but this was not anybody who I recognized. Then she acted like she was a know-it-all, but in reality, she had no influence whatsoever.
 
She was very close to one of the dumbest and most “crazed” people in Washington, John Bolton. Both of them didn’t say much and what they did say wasn’t listened to, especially after Bolton’s statement that he wants the “Libya Model” on North Korea in the midst of my negotiation with Kim Jong Un. He made that statement on “Deface the Nation”, or “Meet the Fake Press”—it doesn’t matter, they’re all the same. Fortunately, Kim Jong Un understood how stupid he was, and wouldn’t allow him at meetings or dinners (I liked that).
 
Fiona Hill was a Deep State stiff with a nice accent. Books are being written by people like her who had virtually no access to me, and who I didn’t even know. They write it as if they’re experts on “Trump,” but they know absolutely nothing about me. My function was to save our Country and Survive. Unfortunately, when you look at what is happening now with Afghanistan, the Border, inflation, etc., our Country is not being saved. It is in big trouble!

Murder is not a time-barred crime.

A 100-year-old man is on trial in Germany accused of being an accessory to 3,518 murders committed while he was allegedly a guard at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during World War II. The trail will only run for two hours a day due to his age.

His case is the latest in a series of trials that are giving hope making sure those responsible for Nazi-era crimes are punished, no matter how old they are

The average gas price in the US rose four cents this week to $3.24 per gallon - the highest Americans have seen at the pump since 2014, as global oil prices jumped after OPEC+ stuck to planned output levels.
