Trump: He is talking with Hungary about meetings with Russian Pres. Putin

As the shutdown is in day 38, the threat for Pres. Trump and the GOP is that suddenly the eye is off the ball and people are noticing. While the people are hurting and want to get paid and back to work (they will be paid at some point but work is slowing down), he is talking about Ukraine and Russia

Admittedly he is meeting with Hungary’s Orban. Nevertheless he says

• We will talk, trade, energy, Ukraine with Hungary’s Orban
• Looking at exemptions for Hungary from sanctions on Russian oil.
• Hungary’s Orban has not made a mistake on immigration
• We are talking about meetings with Putin
• Think EU should respect Hungary.
• The basic dispute with Russia is they don’t want to stop war in Ukraine
• Would like to keep meeting with Putin in Budapest
• We agree that war in Ukraine will end in not to distance future.

Hungary is reliant on Russian oil.

The thought was that to pressure Russia toward peace, you have to cut off the avenues for their oil.

So who knows, but what is more evident is the domestic US economy is under pressure from the government shutdown and the K economy really hurting the middle to lower class. In addition, Trump is not exactly winning overseas – there is still tension in the middle east, China is saying that rare earth agreement may not be the same as the US. So the losses are mounting. That could spell trouble down the road.

Maybe he has plans to run for the Pres. of the World in 2028?
