Donald Trump, who publicly touts himself as a “dealmaker-in-chief,” is privately upset at his failure to strike deals to stop the two wars he has promised to end, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
At a closed-door meeting with top donors at Mar-a-Lago last week, Trump admitted that the frustration he feels from his inability to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine keeps him up at night, people in the room told the WSJ.
He said that Russian President Vladimir Putin, who Trump has frequently claimed is negotiating in good faith, has been driving an especially hard bargain. Putin wants “the whole thing,” Trump said, referring to Ukraine.
Really? Because that really hasn’t been coming across.
… what allies?
Russia, Israel and the Gulf despots, plus tinpot dictators like Orban and Bukele.
Russia. And Israel
Don’t forget Neo-Nazis and white supremacists!
More like Putin and Netanyahu specifically (now also Bukele). Trump doesn’t give two shits about the people of either Russia, Israel, or El Salvidor (and niether do Putin, Netanyahu, or Bukele).
Trump has massive respect for people who seek and take power over people, since that’s who he seeks to be.
“Peace through strength” has been the American motto since at least the War of 1812; it’s just that Trump is also incredibly stupid and incompetant.
Peace at home through war abroad should be the exact wording.
Other dictators and conservative authoritarians, mostly. El Salvador, Rwanda, Russia, Hungary, Belarus maybe.
With new wars starting every day! He’s gonna be busy.
