Trump47 to meet Putin in Hungary - Appeasement Again ?

BBC News: Reports in its 6.18pm post the following from President Trump and his call with President Putin " President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this 'inglorious' War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end," he says. "

Lets Get Real:

This smells of appeasement again by Trump47, why Hungary, the only friend that Putin has in Europe, another politician who wants to be a tyrant like Putin.   The Republicans and Democrats should be warned by this, the President of the Ukraine is coming to the Oval Office tomorrow, he should expect that Trump will want to appease Putin again, does the man ever learn, Europe and the UK must do more to support the Ukraine, whatever Trump says tomorrow.   This is another Munich 1938 or it has the smell of it, at least Europe has learned that appeasement gets you WW2, will Trump lead the World in to WW3?

VP Harris is running in 2028 OR I will eat my words - 2028 Race

 Fox News: Reports "Kamala Harris hints at possible 2028 run, says some call her 'most qualified candidate ever'....Harris said she was 'just speaking fact' after claiming some called her the 'most qualified candidate ever' to run for president  "

Lets Get Real:

The former VP and the Democratic Nominee is running in 2028, as if that is wise, the simple answer is NO, she is not the most qualified candidate ever, let's see from the modern period, the nuclear age, Truman in 1948, he dropped the bomb on Japan, the only President that has used nuclear weapons, Eisenhower planned D - Day and was a crafty President, he gave the impression that he played golf all the time, his hand was on the tiller so to speak.  Then in 1960 Nixon was the most qualified to be Ike's successor, Vice - President for 8 years and had a great mind, but he lost to the charming JFK.  LBJ has been President for a year before 1964 and was firm supporter of civil right, Senator Barry Goldwater was to right wing, in 1968 Nixon came back and beat LBJ's VP, of the two on cv it was Nixon. Thus Nixon swamped the Democratic Nominee in 1972.   In 1976 Reagan nearly beat President Ford for the nomination but lost by a 100 votes, Ford was beaten by Carter, neither was fit to be President.   In 1980 Reagan beat Carter by 44 States, he had been Governor of California and  and was more suited to being President since 1968, he was a dark horse candidates but lost to Nixon.  In 1984 Reagan beat former VP Mondale by 49 States, 525 Electoral College votes and 59% of the vote.   In 1988, Bush 41 Beat the Democratic Nominee because it was seen as Reagan's third term.  No future President has managed that kind of victory not even Obama.  In 19992 Clinton was the better politician if not the best man for the Presidency.   In 2000 VP Gore lost to Texas Governor Bush 43, either would have been a good fit for the Oval.  The 2004 election saw Bush 43 beat Senator Kerry, he was the better politician and he had been President on 9/11.   The age of Obama came in 2008 when he beat a WAR HERO, ego better than actual President, in 2012 he won re-election even if he had misjudged  Putin.  Thus we come to 2016, the election of Trump 45, he lost in 2020 to better candidate at the time, former VP Biden.   The President made a mistake of running in 2024 and the rest is history.

Trump and Putin talking on the phone - Ukraine - Russia War Update

Sky News: Reports in its 4.24pm post that President Trump is in a long talk with Russian President Putin.

Lets Get Real:

The two leaders will be discussing the idea that President Trump is going to give President Zelensky Tomahawk missiles and how this will effect the relationship between the US and Russia.  As Trump47 is an appeaser, he might change his mind and not give missiles to the Ukraine, he is known as a Lap dog to Putin, and Russian Diplomats have been warning against the move for the past few days and Trump47 is very mercurial, it will take Zelensky and other leaders some time to change his mind if he is in an appeasing state of mind.
