JUST SAYING

BY RAUL HERNANDEZ

Donald Trump is fuming—not because of any noble cause, but because he and his billionaire cronies won’t get their hands on Ukraine’s vast mineral wealth. Without control over those resources, their dreams of raking in billions are slipping away.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin and his gangster regime are scrambling. Isolated and on the defensive, Russia is no longer the unstoppable force it once pretended to be. The so-called strongman has been left without allies, his grip on the Middle East shattered after he and his Syrian war criminal ally were booted out of Syria. The empire of terror he hoped to build is crumbling before his eyes.

But none of this concerns Trump. He has no regard for the 44,000 Ukrainian soldiers who have laid down their lives in the fight for freedom. He isn’t mourning the brave men and women who stood against tyranny—he’s calculating profits.

Trump and his pal Putin aren’t discussing peace; they’re tallying up potential earnings. They want to know just how much cash can be squeezed out of a “peace” deal that rewards Russian aggression and sells out Ukraine. But deep down, Putin knows the truth—his empire is on borrowed time. And when it all collapses, he isn’t afraid of exile; he’s afraid of a noose in the heart of Moscow, a fate that has befallen tyrants before him.

Yet Trump, blinded by greed and consumed by power, can’t see past his own self-interest. He is not just a danger to democracy—he is a man so thoroughly ignorant and corrupt that he serves as a willing pawn in the destruction of American values. The Republicans in Congress, once the party of Reagan and national strength, now cower before a man whose only allegiance is to himself.

And as for the Wall Street Journal, Trump doesn’t lose sleep over their carefully worded criticisms. But Rupert Murdoch and his media empire have a choice to make: continue feeding their audience a steady diet of misinformation, or finally acknowledge the irreversible harm Trump is inflicting on the nation. The damage is real, the consequences are dire, and history will not be kind to those who stood idly by.
