- Trump begins by bragging that "we are the hottest country anywhere in the world, and there is no other country even close." -via Bloomberg State Department & Foreign Policy Reporter Eric Martin
Continues:
- Trump complains that the United Nations wasn't part of his work to end wars around the world. "The UN has such tremendous potential. I've always said it. It has such tremendous, tremendous, tremendous potential. But it's not even coming close to living up to that potential," Trump says. -via Bloomberg State Department & Foreign Policy Reporter Eric Martin
- Trump is now going into details about the death and destruction in the Ukraine war, taking a swipe at predecessor Joe Biden and saying "It shows you what leadership is, what bad leadership can do to a country." -via Bloomberg State Department & Foreign Policy Reporter Eric Martin
- Trump says the US is fully prepared to impose "a very strong round of powerful tariffs, which would stop the bloodshed, I believe, very quickly" if Putin doesn't agree to end the war in Ukraine. That's a threat he's made several times this year without following through.-via Bloomberg State Department & Foreign Policy Reporter Eric Martin
- Trump says European nations must "immediately cease all energy purchases from Russia. Otherwise, we're all wasting a lot of time."-via Bloomberg State Department & Foreign Policy Reporter Eric Martin
Trump boasts about the US economy. "We are rapidly reversing the economic calamity we inherited from the previous administration, including ruinous price increases and record-setting inflation, inflation like we've never had before. Under my leadership, energy costs are down, gasoline prices are down, grocery prices are down, mortgage rates are down, and inflation has been defeated. The only thing that's up is the stock market, which just hit a record high." -via Bloomberg State Department & Foreign Policy Reporter Eric Martin
Trump is now boasting about resolving the "seven wars" that were "un-endable." -via Bloomberg White House & National Security Editor Michael Jamriskoand on and on: zerohedge.com
