Trump and Elon Musk are desperately cutting Federal spending, cutting spending on healthcare, even cutting military spending by a touted 50% and trying to drag Russia and China into the scam to justify such a drastic move, imposing reciprocal tariffs on friends and foe, all to fund Trump's tax cuts for the rich which is reported to be as much as US$4.5 trillion according to one Senator. Trillions with a 'T' mind you, and everyone in the lower and middle class in the USA are expected to help foot the bill, not just friends and foe worldwide. Actually, not all friends and foe are affected by those tariffs which are paid basically by USA citizens themselves, though they are not accepting the reality.
Trump had fooled a lot of people in the past. His six bankruptcies are testament to his conman abilities. That one victim after another fell under his conman tactics, and his ability to rise up again and again is mind-boggling. Elsewhere in the world, people run for cover knowing someone has gone through bankruptcy or would deal with him using a long pole. Not in the USA and Trump knows that.
I am honestly going to believe that Trump may yet pull off this massive con job once again, knowing the Hillbillies are as dumb as a statue. That they can still cheer and clap and allow Trump to run wild at their expense is indeed sad to see.

Zelenskyy and Trump have agreed on minerals for settling war debts. Now, the war is not over yet, with negotiations still ongoing and the final say by Putin not yet disclosed. Trump is looking at the rich mineral resources in Ukraine and has already succeeded in squeezing Zelenskyy like a rag, taking it by force, all done pending a settlement of the war. What is in it for Ukraine? Any benefit towards the country's reconstruction?
This move is great for gloating, but getting out the minerals under the ground, assembling the skilled workforce to do it, building the mining infrastructures all takes time and heavy investments. Then there is also the cost of setting up refining facilities to get the final product usable, which also needs time and funding. At the end of the day, how about being able to produce those essential minerals to compete with China?
Sure, however expensive those essential minerals sourced from Ukraine may eventually be solely for use by the USA. How does such more expensive cost eventually figure in those fighter jets, weapons, drones, semiconductors that the USA wants to sell to others. Would they be cheaper or more expensive? How competitive would they be against similar products from Russia and China?
The theory is easy to understand. Get it, refine it and use it. Very simple. One political analyst said that the USA is a country led by very simple-minded people with no deep-thinking leaders. Leaders that can think ahead, not just about creating more wars, subterfuge, assassinations and instigating regime changes.
