Why Trump Is The Man Who Can End The Ukraine War
By Allan J. Feifer

After the disappointment of an overhyped Alaska summit between Trump and Putin on Friday, you can witness the “I told you so” knives coming out, because President Trump didn’t instantly deliver a ceasefire. It justified his detractors, who had insisted that Trump is a fraud in the Wizard of OZ style, i.e., a flawed little man behind the curtain. To them, I say, wait for the second act.

I can virtually guarantee you that whatever you think you know about him is likely wrong. Why can I say that with authority? Having evaluated many of the challenges he has faced since 2015, I’ve come to realize something: he’s neither an ideologue nor an open book. He has a youthfully flexible mind and will try new approaches to fit into his fundamental moral and intellectual ethos. He frequently surprises his detractors.

Here’s what we do know about President Trump:

    He’ll do anything in his power not to be boxed into a corner

    He hates waste, whether it be economic or human

    He’s astute and doesn’t tend to make the same mistake twice

    Winning is more than an end result; it is a state of mind for him

    He loves his family and keeps them close to keep himself grounded

    Trump has a highly developed ability to see the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents and use that to craft deals. He also frequently walks away from a deal, a skill many dealmakers don’t possess.

    Most of all, President Trump sees himself as a builder of monuments, be it golf courses, hotels, or, in his present role, rebuilding the United States of America.

Like all human beings, Trump has weaknesses. Thus, he does not take losing well, abhors being put into a position of weakness, and has a solid streak of vanity/ego that, at times, can be manipulated. However, he has demonstrably been able to put his weaknesses aside during a negotiation or fight. Ask Letitia James, the Attorney General of NY, what it’s like to fight Trump! I’m sure she would never say it, but she’s got to wonder, might even marvel at how he survived the full weight of the New York legal system and now finds herself the pursued!

 Trump has a highly developed ability to see the strengths and weaknesses of his opponents and use that to craft deals.

I agree, this is true when dealing with what one would consider somewhat normal people.  But in dealing with ruthless tyrants like Putin, Trump is completely clueless.  Trump thinks he can sell anything through his methods of persuasion, but not with a tyrant like Putin.  Putin is laughing at Trump like he did Wrecking Ball Joe.  Don't kid yourslef.

The Russian mind is such they think they are superior to everyone in the world.  They are raised from childhood to believe this.  They are taught they invented everything of note in the world, the auto, flight, electric, the telephone, etc.  In a movie I just watched with Clark Gable, they even mention having invented the potato.  I was on the floor laughing at that one.

Putin thinks Trump and all Americans are dramatically inferior to him and all Russians. 

Trump will only move Putin by throwing everything at him and Russia.  I say freeze and starve the people in Moscow.  Moscow is the key.  It is the center of the universe for Russia.  Give the Ukrainians everything they need to make that a reality.  And just maybe Putin is hanging from a lamp post in the not too distant future.
