LINK

US President Donald Trump's claim that India has offered to drop all tariffs on goods imported from his country has been swiftly disputed by Delhi.

Turns out that Qatar has been trying to shift that plane for a while now, since 2020. LINK

Comedian in Chief Donald claimed the other day he had arranged a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, thus helping to avoid a nuclear war.

President Modi of India confirmed today that the Donald had absolutely nothing to do with this ceasefire and nuclear threats had never been on the table anyway. Modi further confirmed that Donald´s statement the ceasefire had been following his threats to cease trade with both countries is also phantasy.

Considering just 4 months of Donald´s time is over there is a lot of potential to make the world roll on the floor with laughter. Apart from the US going down the drain simulataneously unfortunately.

Donald wants very badly to receive a Nobel Prize, he is grasping at straws, making false claims and dropping hints and maybe offering bribes yet the poor guy can’t seem to catch a break and even get a mention…

You mean the free plane that will cost $100 million to gut and check for security problems?

Watched an interview with John Bolton about all this and he seems to know exactly what the plan is.

Watched a piece on TV this week where they interviewed a couple of insiders, some of them FBI-folks whom Donald just fired alltogether. Their mistake was to inquire about Russian-related connections between Musk, Trump and even Putin. Unbelievable. Trump dealt with Russian gangsters and oligarchs. One of them paid Donald 95 Million for a building that he bought for about 40 just some years ago. Saved his ass again.

I hark back to my comparisons of yesteryear, that likened little Donnie to a school girl in the playground.

vis: the following things he's said over last few days...

Ukraine - Russia ceasefire  /  war

"Nothing will happen until Putin and I meet face to face".

Of pending meeting - "Maybe he (Putin) will fly in".

"Nothing's going to happen until Putin and I get together, okay?" Trump said, after it became clear the Russian leader would not attend the talks in Istanbul.

"And obviously he wasn't going to go," Trump added. "He was going to go, but he thought I was going to go. He wasn't going if I wasn't there. And I don't believe anything's going to happen, whether you like it or not, until he and I get together, but we're going to have to get it solved, because too many people are dying."

Trump now goes back to standing at the edge of the playground, glaring at the other girls, until someone asks him something, when he then goes on to answer that nothing happens in the universe without his wonderfulness.

Someone asked him about Putin again, here we go: how can there be more?

“I think it’s time for us to just do it,” Trump told reporters Friday (local time), as he wrapped a four-day visit to the Middle East. [great, get it done then, powerful man]

Trump later told reporters after boarding Air Force One to begin the journey back to Washington that he may call Putin soon.

“He and I will meet, [really? I call bullshit] and I think we’ll solve it or maybe not,” Trump said. “At least we’ll know. And if we don’t solve it, it’ll be very interesting.”

Trump reiterated that he wasn’t surprised that Putin skipped out on the talks set for Friday in Turkey. Putin didn’t want to go because he’s not there, Trump said.

"I think we're having some pretty good news coming out of there today and maybe tomorrow and maybe Friday," Trump [now is Friday in America, nothing happened]

"Well I don't know if he's showing up," Trump said of his Russian counterpart. "He would like me to be there, and that's a possibility. If we could end the war, I'd be thinking about that," Trump added. [as the debutante said of the football stud]

"If something happened, I'd go on Friday if it was appropriate," the president said. "But we have people right now negotiating, and I think that I just hope that Russia and Ukraine are able to do something, because it has to stop, not only the money." [not only the money? you're getting money out of this? talk about a Freudian slip!]

Trump said he did not expect Putin to attend. "I actually said, why would he go if I'm not going? Because I wasn't going to go. I wasn't planning to. I would go, but I wasn't planning to go. And I said, I don't think he's going to go if I don't go. And that turned out to be right." [word salad, word salad, word salad, word salad, word salad, word salad, ...]

But Trump then also backed Putin's offer to restart the talks that collapsed in 2022. Trump even publicly pressed Zelenskyy to "immediately" agree to the meeting. [ Putin say (anything) Trump agrees ]

While Trump agitates for a deal he can sell as a political win, Kyiv and Moscow are manoeuvring to avoid blame for the failure of peace talks -- and dodge Trump's subsequent wrath. [wrath? Petulance more like]
