Trumpiana: How to make heaven great again!

POTUS 45& 47 had a confession to make. No, not to a priest, but to his favourite ‘Fox & Friends.’ He was moving heaven and earth to bring peace between Russia and Ukraine after ending half a dozen other conflicts — because “I want to try and get to heaven, if possible.”

“I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole,” Donald Trump rued. “But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”

The surprising admission from ‘the much wronged man who could do no wrong,’ raised questions about who was informing him about his low numbers up there or may be he intuitively felt that God too was tuned into Fake News.

His press secretary later confirmed, the Don wasn’t joking. “I think the president was (dead) serious,” she said. “I think the president wants to get to heaven — as I hope we all do in this room as well.”

Trump talked about other worldly matters after hosting two back-to-back flashy summits — first in Alaska with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and second in Washington with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, who came calling dressed in a black suit with a back up team of seven sweet talking European leaders.

The POTUS boasted he would be able to quickly broker peace by bringing  Putin and Zelensky –  they haven’t been exactly best friends – together to talk face to face as it takes two to tango and “I’ll meet and we’ll wrap it up.”

In a hot mic moment, he was even heard whispering to French President Emmanuel Macron that he believes Putin “wants to make a deal for me, you understand that? As crazy as it sounds.”

But by Friday, even as U.S. and NATO military officials met to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, and the Kremlin signalled it was in no rush for a Putin-Zelensky summit, Trump changed tack again.

Saying that setting up a meeting between the two warring leaders was like  mixing “oil and vinegar, a little bit. They don’t get along too well, for obvious reasons,” he renewed a threat to impose sanctions on Moscow.

“I’m going to make a decision as to what we do and it’s going to be a very important decision, and that’s whether or not it’s massive sanctions or massive tariffs or both, or we do nothing and say it’s your fight,” Trump said giving pal Putin and himself his usual two weeks grace!

Earlier, doubling down on his rhetoric that he had “settled six Wars in six months, one of them a possible Nuclear disaster” – a not so veiled reference to the India-Pakistan conflict that India’s Modi obstinately and annoyingly refuses to acknowledge, Trump boasted, “Despite all of my lightweight and very jealous critics, I’ll get it done — I always do!!!”

Signing off, “President DJT” then turned his attention back to fighting crime in the capital visiting a police post “to thank the men and women of the national guard and law enforcement in D.C. for making the capital great again.”

Even as the ‘Sandwich Guy,’ a DOJ employee who was fired and charged with a felony for chucking a footlong at a federal agent, became a resistance icon with his image pasted on walls and T-shirts, Trump set his eyes on Chicago next.

“When we’re ready, we’ll go ahead and we’ll straighten out Chicago, just like we did D.C. Chicago is very dangerous,” Trump said amid reports that he was looking at taking control of other Democratic cities to compel them to cooperate with his mass deportation program.

Firing another salvo in his war on “woke” culture, Trump accused the Smithsonian Institution of focusing too much on “how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.”

“The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of “WOKE. The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL,” he posted on Truth Social. “This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums.”

Trump also carried forward his crusade against postal ballots after pal Putin told him in Alaska that he would have won the 2020 presidential elections, but for them. “STOP MAIL-IN VOTING, a total fraud that has no bounds. Also, go to PAPER BALLOTS before it is too late – At one tenth the cost, faster, and more reliable,” he posted..

In one interview with a conservative radio host, Trump called Israel’s Bibi Netanyahu a “war hero” for his strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities. And “I guess I am, too. Nobody cares, but I am, too. I mean I sent those planes,” he added.

Then at a White House event to announce that the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw will take place at the Kennedy Center in Washington, he joked that people may start referring to the performance arts center as the “Trump Kennedy Center.”

Letting Trump hold the gold trophy, FIFA President Gianni Infantino humoured him calling it “absolutely fantastic” that the biggest event ever” will start “at the Kennedy Center – or the Trump Kennedy Center.”

“Can I keep it? We are not going to give it back. It fits very well on the wall over there,” asked Trump sporting a new hat saying “Trump was right about everything!” Infantino demurred, he could, but what would the winner get!

Subtext on his hat might well have read, “Trump wants everything!” – from FIFA trophy to a seat in heaven” — for the world is not enough for America’s own Swiss knife —  peacemaker, crimefighter, war hero — for all seasons. And obviously he wants to get up there to make heaven great again!
