Nobody's asking Cackala point blank we questions, they know she won't answer them.

This man was kept alive to make America great again, to make the world better again.

Need to stop paying Russia for the upkeep of Irans nuclear facilities before they come online😢😮

Why must a country use USD to buy a non-US product? It doesn't make sense.

He’s a smart businessman who wants to lure Russian businesses to be dependant on the USA supply and trade of Goods and Information. This way USA can impose tariffs if they don’t like something that Russia is doing with anything that’s against the Global interest of the USA. This is much smarter than alienating Russia and having Russia become completely independent in all of its affairs. This is what bringing a Manhattan Billionaire businessman is like in politics, he didn’t just study law and now wants to run the most powerful country in the world, he knows finances in and out and knows how to deal with other countries when it comes to economy.

The problem here is Trump is gonna be in only for 4 years and after that who knows will come in and maybe change all the things that Trump stands for so, it's a risk for a country like Russia to bounce back.

This is why Trump is The GOAT. This guy is NOT there like everyone else was there simply to fill their own pockets w/ wealth. This guy has that alrdy hence does the actual Job and takes Extreme Pride in his Role.

Trump is the best negotiator the US has ever had

[ryguy]

So what is he going to do about Russian sanctions? I suppose his answer is he doesn’t know yet because that will be part of negotiations for a ceasefire deal between Ukraine and Russia. Didn’t get a good answer here though.

[fisophia]

U take sanctions from Iran and Rusia, insyaAllah Amin yaRabballalamin 🤲😊😊😊

[jamesong]

He is a great president with foresight.
