All the newspapers and other media are full of Donald Trump and what he has done lately.
A couple articles struck me. Everyone wants to know where Trump is going with the tariffs, his friendship with Vladimir Putin, etc.
As I read about Trump and Putin the question that crossed my mind was what is it Trump wants from Putin? The answer came back very quickly.:
Some claim Trump has been a Russian Asset since he was a young adult. Some conjecture that the gathering when Trump was president and after an hours long meeting with only Trump and Putin in the room (highly unusual for one head of state with another), Trump appeared very stripped of everything and fearful. Many guesses about what happened in that meeting to turn Trump into a scared looking child whose father had just knocked the crap out of him, took up much media space. But then Trump recovered his composure and just started heralding Putin as a “friend”.
It seems to me – with Trump apparently unable to see anyone except in terms of what they can offer him, Putin has added much. After tha meeting, Trump may have been down for the count, but it didn’t take long for him to see what was in it for him.
Coming back as President of these United Sates, it looks as though the Russia-Ukraine war gave Trump new life. He would become U. S. President and among the other things he could do – expanding U. S. territory would be one to get his name securely in the history books. If Russia could just appear and attack Ukraine to annex more territory to Russia – wow! – Trump, as president of the United States, could annex Greenland and Canada for an even better deal. And, in the process swamp what Putin was trying to do with an all out war.
Trump saw what he could gain if the war between Russia and Ukraine settled with Russia winning and keeping Ukrainian land. What an example set out for the world to see so when Trump goes after Greenland and Canada in serious ways there is an example to follow. How much easier than just going after Greenland and Canada seemingly out of the blue. It has happened in recent history – look at Russia and Ukraine. And so it goes. Male sexism (read male superiority) is a bitch. it takes away your humanity and makes you do awful things in the process of keeping up appearances.
Is there nothing better Trump and Putin could do with their lives than to live amongst such horribleness flexing their male (better than everyone) muscles?
And then comes Elon Musk!
