Donald Trump, who publicly touts himself as a “dealmaker-in-chief,” is privately upset at his failure to strike deals to stop the two wars he has promised to end, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
At a closed-door meeting with top donors at Mar-a-Lago last week, Trump admitted that the frustration he feels from his inability to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine keeps him up at night, people in the room told the WSJ.
He said that Russian President Vladimir Putin, who Trump has frequently claimed is negotiating in good faith, has been driving an especially hard bargain. Putin wants “the whole thing,” Trump said, referring to Ukraine.
Unfortunately, a great many people believe this about him. Not because he IS a dealmaker, but because he knows how to tap into the uneducated, racist, sexist, and religiously cultist people out there that are thirsting for vindication.
A great many people believe there’s a sky daddy who’s going to lift them out of their cars and suburban homes and transport them to Sky Land where they’ll endlessly play the harp and continue to be fat and dumb, but also happy.
And those people almost all support Trump.
