Award Citation for Donald J. Trump — Order of St. Andrew (Non-official)
Today, we gather to bestow the highest state honor of the Russian Federation—the Order of St. Andrew—upon an individual whose actions have profoundly advanced the strategic interests of our nation: Mr. Donald J. Trump.
Throughout his public career, Mr. Trump has demonstrated a unique style, unwavering conviction, and an unconventional approach to diplomacy that created exceptional opportunities for the Russian Federation. With steadfast determination, he challenged the traditional structures of the Western alliance, weakening the cohesion of the transatlantic order and granting Russia valuable time and strategic space.
In European affairs, Mr. Trump’s extraordinary insight led him to repeatedly criticize NATO, question mutual defense commitments, and sow doubt within the alliance. His words and actions opened unprecedented cracks in a decades-old security structure, reshaping the geopolitical landscape to Russia’s advantage.
On the global stage, Mr. Trump frequently expressed “trust†and “admiration†toward President Vladimir Putin, easing tensions and softening the tone of U.S.–Russia relations. His posture helped Russia counter global criticism, breaking long-standing patterns of confrontation and isolation.
Within the United States, Mr. Trump’s bold rhetoric and unconventional political tactics deepened polarization and eroded internal stability, thereby diminishing America’s capacity to function as a global stabilizing force. For the Russian Federation, these developments represented significant strategic gains.
For these remarkable contributions, the Russian Federation proudly presents Mr. Donald J. Trump with the Order of St. Andrew, in recognition of his “outstanding service†to Russia’s national interests.
Mr. Trump,
We thank you for all you have done for Russia.
May you continue to bring “creative chaos†to the world—and new opportunities to the Russian Federation.
38% Stubborn Support: A Sickness in American Democracy After Trump's Atrocities
In late November 2025, Donald Trump's approval rating clings to around 38%, despite a litany of controversies in his second term—from backing Russia's Ukraine invasion to family profiteering via "Trump Coin," attacking allies like Elon Musk and Marjorie Taylor Greene, and triggering government shutdowns. This unyielding base, often derided as "brainless followers," highlights deep societal rifts: voters blind to facts, fueled by tribal loyalty, polarized media, and economic fears.
The Ironclad Base: Polls from Reuters/Ipsos (38%), Gallup (36%), and Fox News (41%) show a stable core, even after betrayals of key supporters. Rust Belt white men and non-college grads remain over 50% loyal, rationalizing attacks as "purging traitors."
Trump's Top Atrocities:
Pro-Russia appeasement: "28-Point Plan" cedes Ukrainian land, cuts aid—seen as "peace" by fans.
"Trump Coin" profits: Over $800M from foreign investors, sparking corruption probes—"business genius" to supporters.
Freezing global aid: Halts USAID, causing humanitarian deaths—"America First."
Mass firings: 100K+ federal workers ousted, paralyzing government—"draining the swamp."
Alienating allies: Tariffs and insults isolate the U.S.—"pro-Russia" globally.
Extreme deportations: 15M immigrants targeted, hurting economy—"safety first."
Anti-LGBTQ+ bans: Sparks protests—"culture war win."
Ethics office purge: Enables corruption.
Pardoning Jan. 6 rioters: Constitutional crisis—"ending persecution."
Judicial/media interference: Authoritarian vibes.
This blind devotion isn't mere stupidity but cognitive dissonance and echo chambers like Fox News. Yet, it poses a "sickness" for democracy: ignoring trillion-dollar losses, isolation, and divisions risks amplifying failures. As this "giant baby" reshapes the GOP into a "Trump Party," midterm elections in 2026 may force a reckoning—or deepen the malaise.
AMERICANS DO NO DO COURTESY, DECORUM OR BASIC MANNERS. THAT INCIDENT WAS SHOCKING….
Trump backing Russia is not America first.
We should be supporting UKRAINE a democratic country.
How Trump stays in office after all his daily lies and corruption is beyond me.
Apparently the republicans are pushing for dictatorship.
This is worrisome.
Trump always wanted – and likely still does even if getting harder on Putin – Zelensky to give in to Putin,
as consolidating the front line as definitive is indeed the most likely and easy way
to claim the war "ended" , even if only for a short time, so Trump can take the merit.
Same as sooner or later the Israeli's would have ( temporally) retreated from Gaza.
Trump supports only the strongest, those he can't mess around with. He wouldn't really mind China taking Taiwan either,
except in his wildest dreams taking it himself.
Hold your own Zelensky. Don’t trust Trump
One thing i'm almost sure, that creature human alike using the kremlin has to have some secrets about the Trump past and he is doing some kind of blackmail with Trump about Ukraine and Zelenski, cause it is not mormal and racional what is happening in this process at all!! Even it is a very hot discussion i believe Trump is quite conditioned by putin, he turns to be servent of kremlin! The United States of America, USA, didn't deserve such president, a really kremlin agent!!! This is complete surreal !!! WHAT TRMP IS DOING IS BEYONG OF ANYTHING!!! IT'S UNACCEPTABLE, NO MR. PRESIDENT, WHAT EVER YOU ARE!!!!??? WHO ARE YOU ???
ALL OUR SUPPORT TO ZELENSKY!!!!! SLAVA UCRAINI !!!!!!!!
I think zelenzky will win this war
Thanks for explaining the truth I bless you ðŸ™
ZELENSKY WILL NEVER TRUST trump HE IS HELPING PUTIN SO HE CAN BECOME A DICKTATOR LIKE PUTIN.
Nervous non mental stable people scream when they realize they are not doing things properly.
Watch Trump heas a 2 timer him putin are great mates both cunning
you cant talk too the devel trump
Fugg that Ukraine keep up the great fight. What would any other country do? What would the US do if we got invaded and was at a standstill? What happened when Japan wanted to US territory?
What do we need to do to vote Zelinsky into (whatever's left of) the White House.
I would like to see if Trump would concede land if Alaska was attacked
Zalensky will be lucky if Trump doesnt give Ukraines capital to Putin.
Thanks Ben!

As an English woman living in Australia for decades ,if we moved to America we would be Democrats, they respect the law and democracy, they also have empathy for other people who aren't as fortunate as them, never in a million years could we be hypocritical republicans .
Trumps a dangerous clown, and trump release the Epstein files.
I think Trump and Putin
Had plans of some scheme for $$$ and
Trump wants Zelensky
Out of the way. They have said before Trump
has loud fits. Pompeo
Said he was hard to work with. I think Rubio would be fired if
He did not go along with Trump. Problem is
Dems. Are taken over by socialist and the
No one Republican is
Standing out. Two retired generals have
Praised Zelensky and
Have said if they get
The long range missles
They need they will win
The war. It is dishonorable that Trump keeps going back and forth on this
His temperament is
Terrible. Wish Pompeo
Who ran for Pres.
Would have won, he was very good dealing with other countries. The retired generals would be good as China
Keeps making threat.
Tramp a ragione Zalenski perché non l ' ha fai finita con Putin ma ti rendi conto
You've told so many lives in this video.And also you can't Site any sources that you're saying you get this information from. You seem to just be another trump hater for no good reason other than you Just hate him being in office. And trump is not actually considering building a tunnel or bridge to alaska from russia. Spreading misinformation like this is dangerous
Good Zelensky Tell his Ass
Trump is Putin Puppet ðŸ‘💪✊🔥
Trumps sucks
Certains homme est facilement manipulable par des propagandes fallacieuse les envahisseurs ont compris . ill Si la guerre venait à cesser demain, ce ne serait certainement pas grâce à certains dirigeants. Jour après jour, leurs discours attisent les tensions, relayant des récits trompeurs et donnant écho à des voix qui justifient l’injustifiable. Pendant ce temps, l’Ukraine continue de lutter pour sa liberté, sa dignité et sa souveraineté.
Zelensky is learning now that .listening .to old .Babylonians is not good.Trump .is old .and .he think like Hitcler Baden .Natanyahu They believe not in changesâ¤â¤
Yeah hopefully the public will realize how much he's got his nose up Putin's ass might as well give him some Vaseline take care of the other part this is what American people voted in Trump a man whose side with Putin he particularly wants Putin as his friend and he's going to put the American people second to make it his new friend what a pathetic a**** and now they're in the media shaman it's all acting like it's a big war game and it's televised and where we're getting publicly shown how we could do what we do and make it look like a WWF war game then televise it like it's something a show or something real people are dying real people's places are being destroyed and right now Trump is chaotically screwing our country he thinks he knows how to do business business and politics should never be an intertwined politics is all about the world that we live in should never be running or businesses in this country just because Trump thinks he's a big-time businessman found bankruptcy on most of the s*** he's ever f**** got I guess it must be nice to be able to just build something to file bankruptcy and then act like oh I'm rich I took somebody's money I can file bankruptcy plead the fifth manipulate our legal system and apparently it's okay with the US people the American people seem to think this is okay he's getting richer by using the American people's money only reason he wanted it presidency get himself out of trouble and make more money ain't got nothing to do with the American people it's all about him
Still nobody, no authority, is arresting and jailing Trunp for back stabbing his own country. Talks talks talks… and nobody takes real action. Pathetic.
WHY CANT PEOPLE SEE THAT TRUMP IS PUTINS PUPPET
I wish president zelensky would read at least a few of these cause he needs to step aside from Trumpy get him out leave him out of the loop Trumpy is no good to have him even anywhere near the intelligence cause you can bet he has been handing putin top secret intelligence on the war in Ukraine I'll put my life on that, we had alot of presidents that had no clue thank God for advisors but this fool I don't care who he is what he is but I even as a Republican I don't go for name calling and putting down a president of another country that has tye same values as we here I don't know if he's thinking that he's looking tough? But ever since he did that guy dance that can't be un seen HES NOT TOUGH,I feel ashamed and sickened everytime I think of him being a Republican if he could get off the biden thing and wanting to get back at people he might I say might be able to do something good not these stupid shit he's been doing anyway president zelensky I would just leave him out of your war or putin will windup with your country just look what he's doing here come on save your country.
CRAZY TRUMP OPPORTUNIST!!! 😮😢
HE'S DOING IT WITH UKRAINE..
LIKE HE DID IT WITH HAMAS!!!
TRUMP TRAITOR!!! 😅😮
Get rid of Tango man and Putin !! Enemies of humanity!!
And all of the people who for some odd reason love to love all Trump's lies. Nothing good will come out of what Trump has done to us all. Just go grocery shopping, go to the mall, see how prices have gone up thanks to Trump and his Tariffs…Trump has humiliated the Nation he claimed to love. Trump lives Putin and South Korea, North Korea and all those Foreign Countries. They are using Trump so their countries are doing better than America. I can't wait to see the end of this Presidency.
Trump is a Putin puppet. Trumpy should NEVER receive any acknowledgement for The Peace Price. He is a false peace maker!
He DOES NOT CARE ABOUT PEACE.
Dear President Zelensky, stay strong. Trump is only a golden empty brain, an ignorant, a slave.
trumpler could not negotiate his own shoe lases
Trump thinks he’s god why should he give up his land hooray Zelensky
I said he's got a deal with Putin. They're rats together.
How would trump like if russia said to him we are taking your land.he is a pathetic president he lives in an other world.americans must be scratching the heads what have we done.
