In the past other folks have said that perhaps Putin has got something over Trump, mainly because of Trump's inability to be able to "negotiate successfully" with Putin and this seems to point in that direction? Whatever the reason, it's very evident that Trump is no "master negotiator" in any way, shape or form, and it also lends credence to the saying that Putin is playing with Trump and that Putin is playing chess, whilst Trump is playing checkers; the only problem being that Trump does not know exactly what he is playing! So it looks like trump couldn't stop the Russia/ukraine war in 24 hours, nor the Israel/Palestinian conflict as he stated that he could.........so full of it!! LOL.

Trump had famously promised during the campaign that he would bring about peace between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours – portraying it as easy work for a master negotiator! “If the ceasefire is not respected, the US and its partners will impose further sanctions,” he wrote on Truth Social on May 8, after a call with Zelenskyy. He reiterated that stance in a call with Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain, President Emmanuel Macron of France and Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany, when they travelled to Kyiv 10 days ago and set a deadline for Putin to sign the ceasefire agreement. But after Trump’s call with Putin on Monday, those commitments evaporated. The American President declined, both in public and in his call with the European leaders, to follow up on that threat. Trump told President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine and other European leaders after his call with Putin that Russia and Ukraine would have to find a solution to the war themselves, just days after saying that only he and Putin had the power to broker a deal. Their account sheds light on Trump’s decision to throw up his hands when it comes to a peace process that he had previously promised to resolve in just 24 hours. And, unless he again reverses course, Monday’s developments left Putin with exactly what he wanted: not only an end to American pressure, but the creation of a deep fissure inside the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, between the Americans and their traditional European allies, who say they are going ahead with sanctions anyway https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/trumps-new-position-on-the-war-in-ukraine-not-my-problem/4LLNJN7LMBHJFBQX563Z7YTJLU/

Yes and in doing so he has confirmed that he is as dumb as his father and the following shows that............

Your lack of knowledge is astounding, almost as astounding as your stupidity about having unprotected sex, and for your information, HPV in men can result in throat cancer (remember Michael Douglas and what he said about HPV).

Here's an example which you might want to consider as "kangaroo justice", but you'll have a hard time in doing so because trump and his lawyer agreed to the findings and of having to pay $2.1 million in damges for the wrongs they committed. There you go, here's a starter for you!! Last month, a federal judge ordered Trump to pay the $2 million in damages after the foundation admitted in a settlement that the president personally misused foundation funds to help his 2016 presidential campaign, settle personal legal disputes and buyportraits of himself and sports memorabilia. The $2 million will go to eight different charities…….and Alan Futerfas, an attorney for The Trump Organization, said that the company is satisfied with the outcome. "The Foundation case settled weeks ago with all issues resolved and all funds going to charity. We are very pleased with the result," he said in an email to NBC News. The Trump Foundation, the charitable organization started by Trump in 1987, agreed to disband in 2018 and give away its assets after a probe by then-acting New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood revealed a "shocking pattern of illegality" that included "unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more." Surely trump wouldn't steal from a charitable foundation!!! LOL.

No matter how many times I read your reply I cannot see any factual evidence of a "kangaroo justice" on the cases I quoted, where the justice system wrongly convicted Trump, so perhaps you'd like to outline/give the details on specifics, not your usual generalisations. Still waiting.......

This is what trump said........"I will solve the Ukraine crisis. I will get both parties to the table and I will get this resolved prior to my inauguration, if I am president elect it will happen quickly". What a dipstick, but then again the world already knows that and also knows that he is a compulsive liar with the IQ of a pickled squid. Putin is playing trump, but neither trump nor the MAGA goobers can see it.

I'm still waiting..........

There you go, typical Maga reply and did you mean "due to"..........!!!!!!!!!! Lol Care to post those that were "unconfirmed half questionable due to kangaroo justice"????? I will wait for your reply.............. Keep dinking the Kool Aid, the Cult is strong within you. Lol !!!!!!

On the subject of tariffs....... The false things Trump said about tariffs during his announcement… THREE KEY FACTS Donald Trump’s speech on tariffs contained numerous falsehoods, including exaggerated claims about trade deficits and tariffs. Economists agree tariffs act as a tax on domestic consumption which increases costs for consumers. Trump’s assertions about trade agreements and economic impacts were misleading and often incorrect. Read the whole article from this link:- https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/the-false-things-trump-said-about-tariffs-during-his-announcement/ZO4DDDP5PNEELI56VOE AND..... Hitting penguins where it hurts: Trump’s tariffs target remote island. Good thinking Donny boy. LOL. If he had half a brain he would be dangerous!!!

I've never made a false claim about trump, so if you would care to find one and post it and prove it is false, then I will apologise........ – I have posted about the failed businesses of his (gone bankrupt). Just how do you make a casino go bust? All on record and true. Add to that, the fact that he "stiffed" American tradesmen by not paying them what they were owed. – I have posted about his convictions and therefore him being a felon. – I have posted about his disgraceful comments about John McCain and indeed about other American service people/vets. All on record and true. – I have posted about him being found guilty of stealing money from a charity and ordered to repay $2.1 million to the same charity. – I don't believe I posted about him being found guilty of sexual assault, but could add that to the list! – I did post about him mocking a disabled reporter and can post the pic if you wish. – I have posted about him lying as regards his cheating with Stormy Daniels and because he didn't do it, he ordered his accountant to pay her a substantial amount of money! Go figure! – And who can forget Trump University which was proven to be a scam and the court ordered him to pay a $25 million settlement!! I could go on but I'm sure there's enough for you to be getting on with, and anyway the man is a dumb compulsive grifter and liar with absolutely no redeeming features (ask Melania). Just to add, I'm not a lefty and in fact have voted on the right side of the political spectrum in both of the countries of which I am a resident, and I don't agree with many of the things done in the Biden presidency, but I find the MAGA cultists to be very gullible and easily led, and that makes me laugh, as I sit back and watch them cringe and spew forth "anti-left" venom, I keep posting things that will annoy them – – and it seems I've hit a nerve with many of the "poorly educated" MAGA goobers.

Strange post and bears no relation to anything I have posted??????

He would never be "my daddy" as I am not American, but am so disappointed that this numnut was elected president , but already he is showing how useless he is..........stopping the War on Ukraine in 24 hours, not likely, just BS and bluster from the grifter and he has gotten nowhere with persuading Putin to give up the war, and Putin is just playing with him. There's your man...............LOL.

No, not at all because when I see a MAGA hat I know that the wearer is more than likely a "poorly educated" person and also that they have been taken in by the supreme grifter, and it wouldn't surprise me to know that they had also bought the sneakers and the NFT's. So I smile when I see posts like this knowing full well that they worship the convicted felon, and there's no helping them.

Keep drinking the Kool Aid, supporting the Cult and worshipping the dumb, compulsive liar and felon.....it suits you. LOL!! PS. The site of a MAGA hat........now where is that one in particular? I know they are on the heads of "the poorly educated"; are you wearing one?

You can tell if you're dealing with MAGA folk because they really do believe all they see on Fox and Truth Social, don't really deal in facts and are part of the cult which supports the multi-bankrupt felon running the country, and who is stifling opposition to anything which he deems to be MAGA, and who also has a vendetta out on anyone who has opposed him in the past........read on because this is very apt: –

Well he appears to have a great deal of orange on his face sometimes, a little bit less on others, however the reason for the orange make up is because without it his skin is not very good at all........too much time on the golf courses over the years?? And his vanity dictates that he needs make-up to convince his supporters that he's a handsome "man" and almost human!

And poor old Donnie, cannot stop the Ukraine/Russia war when he said he would do it on the first day of his tenure – – just goes to show that he is full of BS and always has been. It's now blatantly obvious that he has been played by Putin and no amount of huffing and puffing by the corpulent clown has made any difference, and Putin just sees him for what he is, a dumb grifter who is out of his depth. He blew his own trumpet and now it appears that he has been made to swallow it by Putin!

Yes it also makes me sick, watching this dumb clown spout his nonsense, but the good thing about it is that there were soldiers in the "audience" who did not clap when others did to placate the clown, so is not universally liked by the troops, which may well have something to do with his dodging his duty to the country, as well as calling those who did fight for their country, and lose their lives, losers. The above and his comments about the disabled ex-servicemen show what a shallow POS he is.

I finally found time to watch the documentary, "Bibaa & Nicole – murder in the park" and watched all three episodes at once and a couple of things stood out for me on this doco: – namely that the police were very slack in following up the telephone calls of the concerned family regarding the girls being missing, and secondly something which came home was the fact that the killer (I won't go into more detail) was a believer in a "cult like" influencer and the nonsense that he was peddling. Sound familiar?

Well I have ordered some of his tablets/capsules and they should be here in a few days and I also ordered some magnesium citrate as per the post by @AgMech Cowboy, so hopefully I will be sorted out in a few days. Yes, I've tried kiwifruit and even eating the skins along with the soft pulp because I thought it might be a way of ingesting more fibre, but to no avail. There is a fibre/kiwi product on Facebook, with some good graphics, however having ordered the product and ingested the mixture – – nothing, and that's the same with psyllium husk and other fibre remedies. On that note, I inadvertently came across something on the net which warned some people away from taking these fibre remedies because they can "clog up your system" especially if you have a slow-moving digestive system (as I do) and no amount of water will help – – according to this item.

Soil liquefaction played a major part in the Christchurch (NZ) 2010 – 2011 earthquakes and there are still many areas that cannot be built on because of this.
