Trump told reporters at the White House that his administration was applying "a lot of pressure" on Russia and reiterated his displeasure with the attack. But he said significant progress had been made in peace negotiations and the Kremlin had made a "pretty big concession" by being open to "stopping the war, stopping taking the whole country," referring to Ukraine. "This next few days is going to be very important. Meetings are taking place right now," Trump said. "I think we're going to make a deal ... I think we're getting very close." Speaking to CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Thursday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the effort was "moving in the right direction" but "some specific points ... need to be fine-tuned," according to a transcript. He did not provide details. The US president said Washington was also pressuring Kyiv. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, also at the White House, said further discussions were planned for the weekend, and the US wants to see both Ukraine and Russia step up to finalize a deal.
The take away from all this? Don't believe a word of it, it's theatrical bullshit for sheeple consumption. In 2025, 2000 years after fake jewish jesus and sheeple are still believers, stupid and gullible cult followers.
Yeah STOP shooting so we can go ahead to negotiate giving Ukraine to Russia. Also quicker then for US to also take Ukraine's rare earths (what's left of Ukraine).
White Paper on Trump's Casino activity: Making America Worse: Jobs and Money at Trump Casinos, 1997-2010 Abstract This paper questions Donald Trump’s claim that his business success in creating jobs means that he can also create jobs as President. Using publicly available data, I find that, on average, Atlantic City casinos owned or controlled by Trump between 1997-2010 (the Taj Mahal, Marina, and Plaza) lost far more jobs and revenue than other Atlantic City casinos: 900 more jobs/casino and about $50 million more in revenue/casino. All Atlantic City casinos suffered losses in this period, when neighboring states licensed new gaming facilities, but Trump’s casinos lost about 37% more jobs and one-third more revenue than their rivals. The differences are statistically significant in a mixed model linear regression. The Trump casinos used chapter 11 bankruptcy four times. That, itself, is a record, as no other large business has apparently done so more than three times. Despite repeatedly obtaining relief in bankruptcy, Trump’s casinos underperformed rivals in conditions analogous to those facing U.S. workers and companies: the loss of jobs and revenue due to “foreign” competition. Even as Trump casinos performed poorly and went through multiple bankruptcies, Trump continued to take significant amounts of money from those businesses for himself - including about $3.2 million per year from 2001-2005. Trump claims he should be President based on his demonstrated ability to save jobs and make money. Using the best available evidence, this study finds that, when it came to doing so in the face of “foreign” threats, Trump’s Atlantic City casinos were not the “best,” and not even “average” - they were the worst.
It's great news because we need to stop sending dollars to China which they use to build their military with one goal in mind---world domination---they use our dollars against us.
The tariff threats are working well in getting trade deals done. CHina hasn't come to the table yet and that's fine as the rest of the world will trade with the US on a more level playing field. If you want to buy Chinese---go ahead and pay the tariff. Less and less people will do that and China will crumble------That's what we want----for the government of China to crumble.
