   The art of the deal

   Via Kevin Rothrock:

   #Zelensky has reportedly left the White House without signing the minerals deal. The agreement appears to be canceled.

     My immediate thought was, why the hell was this meeting/negotiation done publicly? Then I realized, oh, yeah...this is Trump. He figured doing this publicly would intimidate #Zelensky into going along with that ridiculous deal. Trump just can't read the room because he always sucks out all the oxygen. This is the most courageous leader in history. If he can't be intimidated by Putin, he surely won't be by this fucking moron.

     I didn't think my esteem for Zelensky could get any higher, but it just did. He's standing up to two tyrants... Putin and Trump.

     The MAGA morons are devoted to Trump because they think he's a tough guy...but he only talks tough. We just witnessed what a genuine tough guy looks like, and does so without bluster and bullshit.

     Of course he wanted the deal. It was a shakedown. It's what mob bosses do. Then later he'd renege...just like he's done in every deal he's made in the past.

     @Wileymiller @GottaLaff Trump is not a moron, though. He's a weird needy psychopath. He's playing entirely to his worshipers (word chosen advisedly) who will celebrate him as a hero, and to ingratiate himself with Putin. He honestly couldn't care less what grownups in the USA think.

     Trump is a sociopath who was set up and used by Putin, who is also a sociopath. The difference is, one them is intelligent and the other stunningly stupid. The stupid one is easily manipulated by the smart one.

     @Wileymiller Putin: Former KGB. Trump: Squandered Daddy's $$ and a mafia boss wannabe who fails at everything, even when he initially wins. A bully who kicks the needy.

     @nitpicking No, that's now what @Wileymiller or I did at all.

     In fact, I said he was politically savvy. But he's also exactly as his own Cabinet members said in 2020: A moron. He's stupid. We don't give him credit for being "smart." And if you ever read my feed, I've always said we shouldn't underestimate him. He's still a moron. Clear now #ReplyGuy?

     @Wileymiller @GottaLaff @Salty He's giving Musk and the Project 2025 people exactly what they want. The "Trump is a moron" thing looks to me like "I'm going to oversimplify and underestimate Donald Trump."

     Exactly. Trump has a VERY long history of reneging his "deals". Why anyone would even think of making a deal with him is beyond me.

     @Wileymiller You can't make "deals" with liars and cheats.

     He never would have stuck to it. He wanted a public "win" and to humiliate Z. Neither happened.
