He appears to have lost a little since 2020 but he’s still easily 250 now. I bet he was 275 then.

This is something that's always struck me as odd. This asshole, by virtue of how he presents himself, is lying to you right away. And they're obvious lies - the kind that let you know just how little he thinks of your intelligence.

He's fat. He's bald. He's pale. He lies, badly, about all of these things.

Why would anyone trust him given that he's demonstrating his dishonesty and disrespect for you literally from the jump?

He's dishonest about his height too, which is another easily-proven lie. He's around 6' even, not 6'3. Lots of photos online that support this.

Curious who wrote the messages for Trump … doesn’t read like his typical Easter messages from prior years.

I thought that photo of Melania and him from his first term was pretty creepy then and still has a horror movie still vibe now.

Also, Happy Passover message

Crazy to see this befall the GOP after decades of (often justifiably) deriding the left for sympathies for the Soviet Union.

“… Alexander Dugin, a longtime fixture of Russian far-right politics, spent years calling for Moscow to reject Western-style liberal democracy and restore its lost empire, before Vladimir Putin embraced such policies himself. Some analysts have dubbed him “Putin’s brain,” although he rejects the label and says his influence over the Russian president is exaggerated.

Now, Dugin is trying to find common ground with supporters of President Trump. Over the past year, he has given interviews to pro-Trump media personalities such as Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones. Appearing on their shows, he has attacked “wokeism,” transgender activists and George Soros, winning praise from his hosts.

…
The 63-year-old Dugin has long promoted Orthodox Christian traditionalism and the reunification of former Soviet republics with large ethnic-Russian populations. He sees Trump as helping Russia regain its sphere of influence by having the U.S. retreat from its role as a global superpower.

In a new book, “The Trump Revolution,” Dugin hails the president’s dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development as “a missile strike on the headquarters of globalism.” Released in February, the book is available in English through a small European publishing house that has long carried Dugin’s works.

Dugin started to reach a broader U.S. audience last year when he was interviewed by Carlson, the former Fox News host with millions of followers on YouTube and X. Their video encounter, recorded in Moscow, came out after Carlson’s controversial interview with Putin at the Kremlin. …”

“…In 2014, after Russia annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and began to foment armed clashes in eastern Ukraine, Dugin demanded the annihilation of Kyiv’s pro-Western leaders and their supporters.

“Kill, kill and kill. There should be no more discussions,” he said during a video interview with a Russian online news service.

The remarks sparked a furor that resulted in Dugin’s removal from his post at Moscow State University.

Dugin is now promoting a softer version of such ideas in U.S. right-wing media. Appearing on Jones’s conspiracy website Infowars in February, he blamed “globalists” for driving a wedge between Russia and Ukraine.

“Ukrainians and us Russians, we are the same people. We are the same Russian world, and they have cut us [in] half,” he said.

Jones appeared receptive. “Napoleon and Hitler couldn’t defeat Russia, and the Huns couldn’t, and nobody else could…What a genius plan to have Russians kill Russians!” the Infowars host said.

“Exactly,” Dugin replied. “
