Legit though this was real. He would 100% say something this ridiculous.
He did. The deal we signed with Ukraine on Wednesday had absolutely no security guarantees in it.
The billionaires want the minerals though, if Russia has them, they can’t have what they want
This is more about Trump levering China over rare earth minerals. Yeah, a lot of other minerals were part of the deal, too, and gas and oil and such, but this is highly motivated by Trump, trying to find another supply of rare earth minerals in China, which is now heavily sanctioned.
Additionally, things have gotten a bit spicy between Trump and Putin lately, and this is Trump getting a symbolic win that makes Putin look bad.
Of course, it’s all a bunch of pretentious, narcissistic, childish nonsense, so who knows what the fuck is really going on?
