Real Estate

Is it surprising Trump regards the Ukraine as a real estate deal? Land is the issue, but in the Trump Weltaunshaung, it’s all about the market. Remember the first Zelenskyy White House visit where the president harangued his visitor about not having the cards. Forget that DLJ is playing without a full deck. Every one is dealt a different hand.That’s life.Too bad for the smaller country. Too bad for its larger neighbor whose hand is being called, but getting back. Trump regards himself as the broker. In that capacity it’s been convenient to "gaslight." Instead of Russia invading Ukraine, why not start with Ukraine occupying the old USSR or going further back Peter the Great's Imperial Russia? Put Ukraine in the dog house. If you have ever bought a piece of property you know brokers create an air of faux intimacy. There’s a lot of backslapping and hand holding. You bring people together. "Wrap things up" was the term Trump used recently. Forget all the death and destruction. In this case the brokerage commission is the Nobel Peace Prize.
