This is where my mind goes too. I know it's a little conspiracy-ish and I admit it.

Behind US & China, European block countries, Japan & India are the riches companies. I'm thinking of this like a trade agreement or a start up company investor. Deal is give money, weapons, expertise now in exchange for future preferred trade or pricing.
Every negotiator has a Plan B. Thoughts?

Agree being under oath doesn't mean anything to them. It's not about what they are projecting, rather it's about getting the public accountability.
You are correct, Musk's "brilliance" is really dull and doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Doge accounting seems to work backwards, Musk cuts, then Doge searches for some justification. If none, exist cut anyway, then report it as abuse.
We need Congress having committee hearings and get Elon & Doge testifying under oath. Accountability in public, bring your receipts or face contempt.

I agree with you. Which was my point, as bad as he is, from that list he was the best, imo. The line of succession is dangerous for democracy.
Thanks for commenting.

4/ We didn’t have to throw away the old inventory, and we monitored how the weapons performed. These replacement orders keep people working. And I suspect the accounting donations are better than writing off inventory.
Oh, and we helped defend our allies and democracy.

3/ Who benefited most from sending weapons to Ukraine?
Does anyone else remember that the weapons we sent to Ukraine were from our outdated stockpiles?
We replaced old inventory with brand-new models.

2/ These man-child presidents want what they want or they will have a tantrum. If I were Zelensky, I'd be making a deal with Japan, Europe, India

1/ US businesses want Ukraine's minerals.
- Putin invades Ukraine because he wants to steal the land with minerals.
- Ukraine needs weapons to defend itself and push back Russia off their land with minerals.
- Trump is a greedy, old man, so he doesn't have time or respect for diplomacy or allies.

Remember when Zelensky said, “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.” on Saturday, February 26, 2022
On February 24, 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine.

"There's more room under the Trump Bus than on it". You must have had a great dinner last night.

Trump wants to be the smallest man in the room, so that really lowers the merit bar.

It's not about the tariffs, it's about the waivers and what he can get for them.
I'm watching his bitcoin, donations, family deals, political support, unusual favorable court rulings, kind words, and other perks he values.

It's like playing I SPY. Can I find the confession before he gets everyone distracted with a crazy story. DEFLECTION is another one of his superpowers.

Exactly, Jen. For those new to the Trump show, PROJECTION is one of his superpowers. He perfected it when he & Roy Cohn worked together. If you don't know that story, look it up.
Accusing others is his tell; he's projecting onto someone what he's already done, about to do, or wants to do.
