The "most transparent president in the history of the United States" : #mafiaboss #wannabedictator .

Zwei Tage nach der Entführung (von #Maduro) ist klar, dass #Trump keinen Regimewechsel anstrebte, zumindest nicht in grundlegender Weise. Er handelt eher wie ein #Mafiaboss, der versucht, sein Territorium zu erweitern, weil er glaubt, dass er, wenn er einen rivalisierenden Boss beseitigt, die ehemaligen Capos dieses Typs soweit schikanieren kann, dass sie ihn beteiligen.

The Real Donroe Doctrine

Seeking cash and an ego boost, not regime change

When #Trump first did stupid things after his secind election I implored everybody to think of him as a #Mafiaboss. it explains everything. I‘ve lost a bit of that perspective, but I think I‘d like to regain that when thinking of the state of the World.

Are you aware of any journalistic pieces that take that perspective that you can recommend, by any chance? #Followerpower

And he was kicked out of some military academy too. The flabby #goodfornothing #obscenety screaming #mafiaboss .

Möglicherweise ist #Trump ja doch mal ein Licht aufgegangen !? Ist er doch ein bisschen #lernfähig ?
Zumindest so lernfähig, wie ein #Mafiaboss es sein kann ?

Trump says EU must buy $350B of US energy to get tariff relief

Brussels’ zero-for-zero tariff offer not enough, U.S. president says, but indicates he’s open to a deal if the bloc commits to closing the trade deficit in goods.

Donald J. #Trump wird oft mit einem "Dealierenden" Mafiaboss verglichen;
ich fürchte, dieser Vergleich könnte in die Irre führen, denn ein #Mafiaboss muss über eine Brise von Verstand verfügen, sonst kann er sich nicht an der Spitze einer Mafiabande halten.
Zelensky is apparently going to sign a deal with Trump , the threats behind closed doors must have been quite severe, he probably didn't have much choice....
