SOUND OFF: Time to stop hanging on Trump’s every word
WATCHING THE WORLD TODAY, it seems obvious that Trump is giving Putin Ukraine on a plate. Piece by piece. Almost like he’s repaying a debt.
Am I correct that a few years ago, the Trump organization was facing bankruptcy because U.S. and western European banks would no longer finance him? But then along came a Russian bank who did. I have to ask what the real price was for that finance deal.
And the extreme right-wing Israeli government is now back to killing Palestinians. The phrase “shooting fish in a barrel” comes to mind. It’s even possible not all of them are Hamas terrorists. And they are starving anyway — no food, no water. And Mr. Trump is looking the other way, not commenting on this extermination of an entire population. I remember, as a 79-year-old, when that word was used before — back in the 1930s in Europe.
And every day now, the world waits for the latest utterance from King Trump. Maybe that’s what he wants — attention. Every day. it’s as though the rest of the world is waiting, paralyzed like a deer in the headlights.
