, 04:41, September 24, 2025→Trump calls Russia a paper tiger and says Ukraine can gain back all of their land
:::So Trump calls the world's largest nuclear power a paper tiger and encourages Ukrainians to fight to the last Ukrainian cause we "make money off the [[war]]". I don't think this is going to end well. But [[User:Conservative]] wouldn't know the difference anyhow.

{{quotebox|Trump’s rant has clear signs of light trolling mixed with exasperation and a kind of play-acting performance that essentially seeks to dump the [[war]] on [[Europe]] and [[NATO]] in a way that nobly leaves him looking like a team-player and ardent supporter. If you really read between the lines, you begin to smell the saccharine sarcasm: “Yep, you guys sure were right! How could I have missed it? [[Ukraine]] is much stronger than I thought, and it can not only take back ALL its territory, but even plow all the way to [[Moscow]]!”
This appears to be advanced form of [[trolling]]. And the [[fact]] that [[Trump]] flatly states “with the support of Europe and NATO”—rather than the [[US]]—means he’s washing his hands of the conflict. The small gibes against [[Russia]] are merely his way of expressing disappointment with [[Putin]] for not sucking up to him and handing him that easy [[Nobel Peace Prize]] on a golden platter.
We saw recently that Trump had already out-maneuvered Europe by forcing them to put-up-or-shutup: this is merely the [[logic]]al continuation and conclusion of that play. Here he’s bowing out of the war by exaggerating his loyalty to the [[Establishment]] directive—it’s a performance, and a good one, considering how many [[people]] fell for it.
A big clue to the theater was his small [[media]] photo-op with [[Macron]], where Trump recounted his blockbuster [[tweet]] while adding in a little mocking pizazz in his characteristic style, when he tells Macron not only that “I hear [[France]] is doing very well” but also that “We’ve gotten along on almost everything imaginable”:
Anyone who can’t recognize the classic teasing game Trump is playing here likely does not quite understand his characteristic “style”. Trump and Macron’s relationship is virtually famous for its disagreements so this statement provides a kind of ‘key’ or ‘legend’ to figuring out Trump’s eccentric mental games when it comes to the latest U-turn.
What he’s really done is recognized that the media and his opponents won’t cut him any slack—which his [[ego]] is extremely sensitive to—unless he exaggerates his praise and commitment to the Establishment ‘cause’. So he went and flipped the script: “They want hysterical cheerleading? Fine, I’ll give it to them.”
After getting into ‘character’, he says: “Ah yes, now I’ve seen the light. Ukraine can win the war and conquer Moscow, good luck to everyone involved, have fun!”
Sadly, [[Zelensky]] has again fallen for the trap. He was absolutely wide-eyed with [[child]]-like glee and relief during his meeting with Trump today, tragically clueless to the fact that he’d again been set up and thrown to the wolves by ‘Daddy’.
It’s vivid as day:
And with that, he’s washed his hands of the whole thing, while proudly taking in the [[profit]]s from the “killing” he so vocally decried—from an earlier statement:
But I do aver this could be a very controversial [[opinion]] of mine, given how many people are well wroth with righteous fury over in [[social media]] land. Perhaps I’ll turn out to be wrong on this latest Trump twist. One thing is certain, it’s not any kind of usual ‘5D’ [[Qanon]] coping that has led to this conclusion, but rather the pieces falling into place into a logical ‘exit strategy’ for Trump, with his usual theatrical flair.
As much a tough guy as Trump likes to portray, he’s actually quite agreeable to a fault, when it comes to pleasing his [[friend]]s, partners, and even critics. The latest performance gives a deliberately schlocky ‘bow out’ to stage left while leaving his duped audience beaming effusively with dull-eyed stares of counterfeit triumph.}}
