Larry Johnson: Why Negotiate With Trump?

When I was a kid, I watched the World Wrestling Federation regularly, along with my parents, who were highly educated intellectuals. But we all loved it, especially my mother, for some reason. We all knew that it was not real, but that did not matter. It was a performance, what the Japanese call a kabuki dance. We had our favorite characters, which were not necessarily heroes, like Brett (the hitman) Hart, but could also be well-played villains, like the Undertaker. Perennial world champion Freddie Blassie and his partner Mr. Moto with his famous judo chop (there is really no such thing as a judo chop) were always a highlight. President Trump, who is my age, grew up in that world, and somehow he never outgrew it. Before his entry into politics, his whole career was that of a very successful showman and publicist, and it was those characteristics that got him the Presidency – helped along by Zionist billionaires that bailed him out of four bankruptcies from his casino operations.
Now, Trump finds himself faced with hard facts that cannot be dealt with by publicity stunts. He is being lied to left and right and can’t tell which is which. Can the Zionist billionaires still get him out of this? It’s hard to see how. It seems that they are going for broke this Wednesday when Netanyahu visits again. They are going to tell him that if he does not attack Iran, they will release information about not only Trump but Melania and their relationship with Epstein going back to before they were married. They will also make sure he loses the midterm elections in November. What will Trump do? He is being lied to about Iranian military capabilities and made to think a quick victory is possible. He may think going for war is his best bet in a losing situation.

We find the same situation with the Ukraine conflict. Trump says he wants peace with Russia, he says he wants to end the war, but he does absolutely nothing, not even the smallest concrete gesture such as lifting travel restrictions, to back up his words. All he has is empty words, as Lavrov points out. The Russians are proceeding with their military operation until the Kiev regime surrenders unconditionally.

Trump is like Dylan’s gambler sitting in the casino on the Titanic who keeps on gambling as he waits for time and space to intervene.
