Their near-universal presence at high-stakes negotiations suggests that #Kushner & #Witkoff, [freaking] NY real estate developers…, have been almost single-handedly tasked with realizing Trump’s desire to be remembered as the “president of peace.”

But these are businessmen…. Their approach to peacemaking is abundantly evident in the settlements they have brokered thus far.

#Trump #kleptocracy

There is a long history of moguls & financiers meddling in matters of state, but #Trump has taken the intermingling of private interests & public affairs to a new extreme.

Over the past year, #Kushner & #Witkoff have crisscrossed the globe as White House emissaries: They have met with #Hamas & with Vladimir #Putin, with Volodymyr #Zelensky & with #Iran negotiators.

That 2 two businessmen were merely boarding a plane seemed to calm the addled market.

Less than 24 hours later, #Trump told the media that #Kushner & #Witkoff’s trip was off. “Nope, you’re not making an 18-hour flight to go there,” he said he told the 2 men as they were preparing to leave. He referred to Kushner & Witkoff — his son-in-law and his longtime business associate — as “my people,” a nod to the strange role they have taken on as civilian proxies for the president.

Schlechter bzw. einseitiger als bei #ARD kann man kaum noch informiert werden:

Habt ihr schon einmal ein Wort darüber verloren, dass der #Iran aus guten Gründen & schlechten Erfahrungen Gespräche mit den inkompetenten & unvorbereiteten Immobilienhändlern bzw. der Trump-Sippschaft #Kushner und #Witkoff als "Verhandlungspartner" verweigert?

Ihr impliziert immer noch, dass die #USA oder #Trump hier irgendwelche "cards to play" hätten: Bis auf #Atombomben sind die aber BLANK!
