Yes, yes. But there's not even a realistic 'IF' here is there.

If you even consider it a remote possibility that Trump has the ability to broker a deal with Putin that is acceptable to Ukraine then you're utterly deluded.

Sounds like he is TACO man again this evening. He seems to be backing away from supplying the Tomahawks. Putin seems to be able to do the Jedi mind trick on Trump time and time again.

It’s probably more to do with Donny’s ego believing its own hype after negotiating a ceasefire in Gaza. Never mind the fact that the USA’s gigantic economy and military made it something akin to Andre the Giant breaking up a fight on a primary school playground, Trump will now believe he’s some sort of expert negotiator. Obviously growing a pair of balls and fully supporting Ukraine would go against this delusion, so he’ll just sit their like an overripe satsuma telling both sides they need to be realistic whilst doing f**k all of any substance.

I am currently in the USA. We tend to come over every year about this time. (convenient with the international break). Since we were here last year GBP has strengthened by over 6% yet I am astounded by how expensive things now cost here. 

Fuel, groceries and eating out are all more expensive than they were this time last year. No idea if this is due to tariffs, world events or internal factors. I am unsure of the official rate of inflation but the Donald's claims that US inflation is now dead is complete bs.

Hope you're enjoying it other than the increase in costs.

Have you spoken to locals on their thoughts on what's going on?

Be careful, it's apparently a WAR ZONE.

""It won't interfere with the current building. It won't be. It'll be near it but not touching it - and pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. "It's my favourite. It's my favourite place. I love it.""

 

And then.......

"Parts of the White House's East Wing have been demolished, as construction begins on US President Donald Trump's new ballroom.

Construction crews on Monday tore down massive chunks of a covered entryway and windows in the East Wing, which Trump said is being "fully modernised"."

Funded by businesses like Amazon apparently. So nothing dodgy going on there then. Strange that nutty nic finds it funny, but then he does have a warped sense of humour.

Spent the last 2 days today in the "warzone" of Portland. Nothing unusual going on here. Has the feel of a European rather than American city. Some posh bits. Some scruffy. Lots of pride flags. Excellent beer (70 breweries 😋). 

People here seem quite laid back. If Trumpy boy thinks it needs the troops to keep order he is even more deluded than I previously thought.
