Post by Donald Trump on Truth Social at 9:17 p.m. on 17 Aug 2025:

President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight. Remember how it started. No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!

First post from Gov. Newsom “so nice” with a painting of Newsom, hands folded in prayer, with Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson laying hands on him, while Hulk Hogan (with angel wings and halo) looks on.

Response from Conservative Mik...: “Very disrespectful and blasphemy!”

Gov. Newsom resonds “oops our bad, sorry, meant to post this” above a post from the White House reposting a Truth Social post by Donald Trump depicting Trump dressed as the Pope.

@spocko #AltText4You A mural by Michael Rosato on the side of a brick building next to a parking lot. The painting shows Tubman larger than life with blue skies and a river bank behind her, reaching through the wall she's broken through to offer a welcoming hand to those who would step through to freedom.

Four editorial cartoons.
1) Trump and Putin seated in front of flags of both nations. Trump is saying “You had me at hello”
2) Title: The Putin-Trump Summit. Shows Putin walking toward Trump with papers in his hand. Trump is walking toward Putin with flowers and a valentine candy box in his hands.
3) Trump and Putin seated at a table. Trump is saying “Nobody is tougher on Russian than me.” An “x-ray” view shows them playing footsie under the table.
4) Title- Meeting Preparation: Alaska 2025. Shows workmen rolling out a red carpet, putting up a sign reading Trump Putin/Alaska, and a Kiss Cam jumbotron.

Title: World Leaders and their pet dogs
Four photos: the first three show Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, and Barack Obama, each with a canine next to them. The last photo shows Valdimir Putin with Donald Trump, who has his head bowed.
