WITHOUT BEING ASKED Musk donated use of the system to the government of Ukraine in order to assist them in defending their country from the Russian invasion and Starlink played a key role in aiding the Ukraines to stall Russian advances. Later Musk asked the American govt. to pay for the system since they, along with their allies, were footing all the costs of the Ukraine defence. The US refused to pay and Starlink is still to this day being donated to the Ukraine defence free of charge.

Trump's last 4 years were everything the opposite of what is happening right now in America, booming economy, low inflation, low living cost, low gas prices, secure border, low illegal immigration, and no world wars because of Trump's Peace Through Strength. Trump talks very straightforwardly, his words may hurt your feelings if you are those kinds, but his policies are much better than Kamala and Biden's. I will absolutely vote for Trump 2024 for better economy, secure border and low illegal immigration, and world peace
