Z tried to pull a fast one - show up at the announcement ceremony and try to renegotiate the deal in front of the media. Kinda like the phony car salesman who supposedly needs to go get his sales manager’s approval for the agreed upon deal - then comes back asking for $500 more.
It’s called the old switcheroo. Trump was onto this trick before he turned 18.
Z needs us. Europe needs us (regarding Ukraine). We don’t need them. I’m not sure they’ve woken up to that fact yet.
Again, the minerals can be had elsewhere. It was only an economics reason for us to be there. Dimwit blew it up to gargantuan proportions. Tiny tyrant screwed up. Buh bye! Get the Euroweenies to play.
“It’s called the old switcheroo.”
OR
Bait and switch.
That is a standard, Eastern European con.
The Tiny Dancer™ thought he'd pull it off with the "stupid" Trump and "bitch" Vance. I think he figured that Trump was going to be a pushover like brain dead Biden. Nope - Trump called out that phony, greasy clown in a fake GI Joe outfit by shoving a stick of dynamite up his ass. BOOM! It was great to watch!
