A lot more puzzling was the Musk, with his infant son, holding court with the press in the Oval Office with a president looking on admiringly as the Musk explained and expounded impromptu government policies to Americans as though he was an elected official.
As surreal as this was it did not compare to the stunning scenes of the public dressing down of the Ukrainian president by the combined effort of Trump and Vance where they not only called him a dictator but accused him of instigating the war with Russia.
Even as a scripted scene in a macabre Hollywood thriller where the victim of a bloody and unprovoked war is accused of being the aggressor would be shocking let alone Trump’ s incredulous demand that Ukraine surrenders to Russia to achieve peace.
If that sounded like fake news, how would you respond to Trump’ s serious offer to hapless Palestinians to evacuate Gaza so that Trump can develop a Gazan Riviera as a solution to the ongoing conflict in the area.
Note that he did not offer to resettle the Palestinians in America as he had offered to the South African whites and his stance seemed to affirm Israelis determination to use the Hamas conflict to exterminate the Palestinians.
To right thinking people this sounds like a call to genocide and not a peace process and we would like to believe it is fake news, only it isn’ t. To trivialize the lives of thousands fighting to remain in their homeland is supremely callous and arrogant.
The amazingly impractical solutions to the two tragic conflicts are coming from the acclaimed author of‘ The Art of the Deal’. Could this book that made Trump a household name in America be promoting capitulation as the ultimate deal move?
Trump has shockingly aligned himself with the aggressors and to the total disbelief of Americans has abandoned traditional allies to embrace an enduring arch-rival, Russia, who Americans have had active and cold wars with. of what the book recommends, to avoid conflict, as he aggressively courts conflicts at every opportunity he gets including getting involved in petty squabbles and spats on social media every time his ego is bruised.
He has irritated Canadians by suggesting that they were actually the fifty first state before slapping tariffs on them. He has reneged on a trade agreement he himself crafted and agreed to with Canada and Mexico in his first term sparking a possible trade war.
Out of the blues he has offered to buy Greenland, failure to which he is open to annexing it by force and in saying so has succeeded in not only annoying Denmark, a NATO ally, but emboldening Russia who is the prime beneficiary of a weak NATO.
America has de facto withdrawn from NATO, leaving Europeans and the breakaway former Soviet satellites under threat from an increasingly aggressive Putin. Trump has also become a de facto puppet of Putin, the question being who is more influential, Putin or the Musk.
All this is happening as he wreaks havoc at home. Trump is dismantling the federal government, the education department, deporting bona fide immigrants while threatening to impeach any judge that stands in his way. A full out assault on democracy is ongoing.
All this has happened within three months of his current presidency and if you were reading this in a column of a political analyst you would most likely consider this information to be fake since this is not the way Americans behave, but it isn’ t.
A new world order is definitely in the offing, catapulted by a petty leader who lacks patriotism and discipline but who has acquired massive clout supported by rabid cult followers who believe he is the American messiah.

12 years in the making
It may be that Trump wrote a book but he doesn’ t seem to read because it would definitely be useful if he read the book‘ The Art of War’ where he would learn that it is never a smart strategy to fight on too many fronts simultaneously.
In fact, Trump is doing exactly the opposite
Whatever deal Trump cuts for the American people, it is likely to come at a very high price and it might take time before Americans wake up to the fact that the man who once called veterans‘ losers’ by fighting for America may just be a petty charlatan.
