Trump has done many ‘things’ in his hundred-odd days. More if you count the last term he served. But in one respect, he has changed the world. Reconstructed its narrative. Is it in a good way? Well, it’s Trump, so what do you reckon???
The diplomatic international stage was always full of agreements, alignments, accords, lots of ‘a’ words, plus coalitions, strategies, convergencies, all sorts of ways to describe positive linking of the mutual aims or desires of foreign nations.
Now, everything is a fucking ‘deal!’ The Great Dealmaker has ascended to the throne, let’s celebrate by first dumbing down the language. And more threateningly, by everything being ‘a deal’, there must always be ‘the other half’ of the deal. The quid pro quo. The payback.
Rachel Reeves was on the news the other night talking of her attempts to ‘make a deal’. A year ago she would not have said that. She’d have tried to sound posher. More educated. She’d have used language befitting a Secretary of State. Rather than a trollop who sells handbags in the market. Ok, she was trying to make this deal with Trump, so no point using big words or unnecessary syllables, but we’re now learning a new language from Americans???
And what’s the ‘deal’ by telling Zelensky to just give in to all Russia’s demands, ceding 20% of their country to them and giving up the Crimea altogether. I don’t understand how this is a ‘deal’? Trump thinks that because ‘then they’ll stop bombing’ is an acceptable payment. Trump is a tosser. But a tosser who makes big noises and promised to ‘end the war in 100 days’. Which ends on Tuesday. Meaning if the ‘deal’ is not in the bag by then, he’ll change from just being a tosser, to actually looking like one. Thus the pressure. With JD Vance (no less!!!) telling the world that American has other things to do, other places to fuck up, other wars to get involved in, it can’t spend all this time on Ukraine. To which I, personally thought, “good, then fuck off!!!”, perhaps leave Ukraine to those who might try and stand up to Putin, rather than engage in submissive sexual activities with him.
Right, I’m going to do a deal with Mel now. I’ll go out for a walk with her if she… errrr… goes out for a walk with me! (She normally won’t be seen with me in public).
Let’s all make (fucking) deals,
Happy Sunday
