Almost?

I trust you were being sarcastic.

@petergleick

But see...

You just didn't unstd the Art of the Deal...

The art is not the deal that is made...

The actual Art is what you say about the deal afterward.

🤦‍♀️🤷🫏🤡

@petergleick

Certainly a plant, practically vegetative... 🥬

@petergleick #trump is terrible at the

He lie deal

@petergleick

Wait, you didn't know Musk and him are Russian assets?

I thought that was long clear, given how MAGA has been repeating Russian propaganda lies for years now.

Trump is literally shredding all diplomatic trust and ties the US built up over decades. Regardless how long that clown remains alive, this is going to haunt the US for decades to come.

@petergleick

"Almost"?

You assume Trump is actually trying to get the best of Putin in this "deal". Occam's razor suggests maybe that's not the case...

@petergleick I mean, I wouldn't actually criticize getting Fogel back. Sure, if you're looking at it as a chess trade, then it was a bad one, but if you're looking at "get US citizens out of hostile political foreign jail" then I think it's worthwhile.

Everything else you said is spot on tho

@petergleick

He in fact is...

I don’t think you have to scratch the surface that hard to discover evidence for your assertion. It is there, I’ve seen it. But now we clearly see it playing out in his actions, what do countries around the world, not least in Europe do? Regroup in terms of trade, defence and visa restrictions for Americans. #Starmer instead is desperately auditioning for the role of Trump’s lapdog…he is Blair without a competent chancellor.
