Trump making deals with himself
When has Trump ever did things on schedule as gloated, always having extensions made over and over, corrections made later over and over, new terms added or removed over and over, sometimes one step forward and two steps back. USA citizens called him TACO for a good reason.
Trump is always just talking to himself, making deals with himself. All over social media, the talk is that Trump has been made a fool of by Putin and Xi, manhandled by Netanyahu, and yet he thinks he has the upper hand. Those on the upper hand do not show any desperation for a meeting with his opponents but just wait for opponents to reach out to him. Does Trump's behavior show he is on the upper hand?
Now, even South Korea is not bending over under Trump's threat of paying the US$350 billion investment upfront. South Korean workers who were arrested like criminals by ICE are not even interested in returning to work on the Hyundai plant.
Trump is so stupid that he is not even aware that he is the butt of insults delivered by Lee Jae-myung in the Oval Office earlier, who asked Trump if he is going to build a Trump Tower and casino in North Korea when the time comes to talk to Kim Jung Un. Everyone saw the insult, except Trump and his sycophants.
Byte Dance is not selling the whole global reach of Tik Tok, only the USA operation. This is just to disable Tik Tok dispensing information about the genocides in Gaza that USA citizens are being cut off. This is one area that Israel wants to censor, as it is instrumental to its continued support by the USA Congress.
Ironically, USA is giving US$20 billion aid to Argentina when it is facing shutdown right now. The question is how Argentina is going to repay that loan, knowing that it is even unable to service its IMF loan taken ages ago. It is no more than throwing borrowed money after equally bad money.

Trump claims China is selling Tik Tok to US for a song at just 14 Billion Dollars.
It's too good to be true, Only fools will believe that. Anyway. Tik Tok is not for Sale. China and all Chinese people will not allow that to happen. President Xi Jing Ping must be a moron to suddenly allow US to grab Tik Tok almost for free and thus be cursed by all chinese for generations to come. No, President Xi Jing Ping is smarter and wiser than the neurotic Trump and Americans think. Tik Tok is the pride, the darling and the spirit of the proud Chinese nation and all Chinese people. So China will definitely not sell Tik Tok to outsiders and less so to psychopath Anglo-Saxon United States.
If Tik Tok falls into US hands it will just use it as another weapon to control and enslave the whole world. The US government is a savage duopoly dictatorship controlled by the oligarchy Deep State of Wall Street business and commercial tycoons and their partners in the Pentagon Military Industrial Com[lex. So as can be seen US is not a free country.
The US government is barbaric, wild and bellicose. It is a buccanic piratical dictatorial state with extremely hawkish bellicose governance. It is the most untrustworthy and most unreliable authoritarian state and can never be trusted in any dealings or agreements both verbal or written.
Therefore it can be sure China will not be trapped to sell Tik Tok to the warmongering hawks of the United States.

Trump has forcefully forced China to sell TikTok to America?
If this is true, we can expect Xi to extract something of equivalent value from Trump in exchange. So far nothing of sort has been mentioned, like a one way victory for Trump, if he is believeable. Is this another unequal treaty in the 21st Century on China?
Even if this is true, that Chinaman always lose, always gave in to the Americans, would Trump be nice enough to reciprocate and give something in return or be nicer to China? Not at all. The White House is gloating about how China was forced into selling TikTok. Not only that, the attack and war to bring down China continues in greater pace. Trump is hammering China with more tariffs.
Trump is forcing 27 European countries to levy 100% tariffs on Chinese goods as a punishment for buying Russia oil. Can you beat that? And Trump is expecting Xi not to do anything otherwise and continue to let Trump have TikTok? What else after this, more pressure, coercion and tariffs against China, more attack on China with TikTok in his pocket and smiling broadly, dancing on stage to show the Americans and the whole world that this is how he dealt with China, by force, and China crumbled with no resistance.
Actually, this is a case of too good to be true. Now matter how callous and dumb Trump is, he cannot rub it in on Xi when the deal is not even signed. And every stupid American, Trump included, is familiar with how important face is to China, and Xi. Getting a good bargain by force is bad enough, and to make Xi lose face in front of the Chinese and the world, and to continue to launch more attacks against China must break something for sure. Xi cannot look weak to the Americans and the world. Xi can give away TikTok as a generous gesture but NOT to give it away because he was forced or threatened by Trump.
What do you think? Is lunatic Trump in his usual self again, talking nonsense and spreading lies again?
The meeting in South Korea is likely to be off. China has cancelled all his room reservations. Trump can hope to travel to the DMZ to meet up with Kim instead, if Kim bothers to meet him.

Anwar's misstep in inviting Trump to Asean Summit
In a video message posted on social media on Saturday (Sep 27), Mahathir said the US continues to supply Israel with funds, weapons and military assistance “to perpetuate the killings of Palestinians”.
He called on Anwar to revoke the ASEAN Summit invitation to Trump, saying the US president has “openly supported and enabled the crimes against humanity currently inflicted by Israel upon the Palestinian people”. CNA
Misfits, fatsos in military and police, and Trump that evaded Vietnam War
Now Trump and Hegseth are dismantling the USA military, criticizing those military leaders for being fat and bearded. The 'Commander in Mischief' and his sidekick are creating division within the rank and file of the military establishment. Trump is not even qualified to talk about the military, having never served in the military at all, using his bone spurs excuse to avoid military service.
Apart from the issue of fat military generals, have anyone ever wonder when looking at USA law enforcement officers, why they are mostly fatties and out of shape. The only thing is that they are able to overcome law breakers using their size, their advantage of numbers and the weapons they hold. I think in terms of chasing law breakers, they would not be able to keep up. Oh, forget about the movies showing them running long distances. That is all a mirage created for entertainment. Hollywood is all about the good overcoming the bad.
Back to the fat Generals. I just wonder how the Generals will take such criticism from someone without military experience and another misfit holding the title of 'Secretary of War'. Calling it 'War' instead of 'Defense' probably makes the misfit swell-headed that he is given the mandate to criticize those Generals.
