How it started, how it's going... 🤿

It seems #Putin turned Trump's words around on him & got #Trump to now call #NATO a "paper tiger" after he first called Russia that. 👀
~~~

At today's presser, Trump said Putin TOLD HIM that NATO was a "paper tiger" (srsly...heard it myself).

But it seems Putin first suggested that to Trump in Oct 2025 when Trump called Russia that.

@dalfen trump came up with the paper tiger all by himself. He's a big boy who does not need to repeat what others say. He's big and strong and not woke. Very smart. He's even sometimes would have 2nd highest IQ score in the room when he's alone (the first being the room temperature in Celsius )

@hszakher Oh yes, so true 😂👏
But too bad he let everyone know that Putin told him so about NATO lol
Otherwise, he could have said that the idea arose spontaneously in his very large brain.

@dalfen he knows a lot of very smart people. A LOT. Some can even count to 10 without using fingers. Really smart big brains. 😀 I think he gets to know a new word or phrase ( like obliterate or groceries) then for the next few weeks, he keeps repeating it as to not forget it and also to show his bigly big brain. He knows things and he's not afraid of showing he knows things. Thanks for your ATTENTION to the matter. JFK

@hszakher 💯 😂👏

The biggest brain of all the brains 😂

It's no matter that he didn't know what 'groceries' were until a bit ago...
He remembered "person, woman, man, camera, TV" ~6 years ago...even saying the words in order for bonus points!

And 💯 – he repeats new words like "obliterate" often to remember and show everybody that he's got it in his big, bigly brain. Same with new religious words that he's been throwing around lately, though they are challenging & he's been mixing them up a bit.

@dalfen
He's so confused he thinks trailing toilet paper out of the bathroom makes him a paper tiger

@dalfen I still remember when that paper tiger was the excuse to invade Ukraine
