That comment is on tape at Trump’s Future Investment conference.
New Level of Crassness
This following a clip from President Donald Trump’s speech at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Priority Summit.
“He didn’t think he’d be kissing my ass. But now he has to be nice to me. You tell him he’d better be nice to me.”
If I am not mistaken, that is a new low in diplomatic idiocy, on video display to the entire world.
And the irony is staggering. Trump started this war that no one in the Mideast wanted except Israel.
The Correct Attitude
“You can mock me all you want, but I’m not sending British kids to die for your losing war.”
Accurate Reflections On Intelligence
Is Ukraine a Better Ally for the Mideast than Trump?
The deal on the table changes everything about this war. Ukraine is offering Gulf states 1,000 drone interceptors per day. Each Sting interceptor costs $2,100. Each Patriot missile it replaces costs $3.9 million. In exchange, Ukraine wants the Patriot missiles the Gulf states are burning through, because Kyiv cannot get enough of them to stop Russian missiles.
The National reported on March 27 that Zelensky told reporters: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” AFP confirmed the UAE agreement on March 28. Eleven countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone defence expertise per Zelensky’s own count. Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan.
Grok’s Verification Analysis
- Zelensky’s visit and UAE (plus Qatar/Saudi) defense cooperation agreements: Confirmed. Zelensky met UAE President MBZ and signed a security/defense cooperation deal focused on air defense and counter-drone measures on March 28. Similar deals were signed with Qatar the same day and Saudi Arabia shortly before (reported via AFP). aljazeera.com
- Ukraine offering ~1,000 drone interceptors per day (e.g., Sting system) in exchange for Patriots: This matches Ukraine’s stated production capacity and Zelensky’s explicit barter proposal. Ukrainian manufacturers have publicly discussed scaling to tens of thousands per month (roughly 1,000+/day). The “swap” framing—Ukraine supplies cheap, mass-produced interceptor drones + expertise; Gulf states provide scarce Patriot PAC-3 missiles—is directly from Zelensky. euromaidanpress.com
- Exact Zelensky quote: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” This is real and widely reported (including by The National around March 27 and echoed in Defense News, Hindustan Times, etc.). fortune.com
- Sting interceptor cost ($2,100) vs. Patriot ($3.9 million): Directionally correct and consistent with public figures. Ukrainian interceptors (including Sting FPV-type systems) are routinely described in the $1,200–$2,500 range; Patriot PAC-3 interceptors are in the multi-million-dollar range (commonly cited near $3.5–4M). The post’s specific numbers align closely with reporting. quwa.org
- Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists already deployed: Accurate—reports specify ~228 specialists operating in exactly the five countries named (UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan) to advise on and help intercept drones. defensenews.com
- 11 countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone-defense expertise: Directly from Zelensky (reported mid-March). This includes Gulf states, the US, and European neighbors of Iran. france24.com
- Broader context (Gulf states burning through Patriots on Shaheds): Also corroborated. Gulf/U.S. forces have expended hundreds of expensive Patriots in days against low-cost Iranian drones, creating the exact incentive for Ukraine’s cheaper, higher-volume alternative. fortune.com

Trump’s Claims with Key Additions
Trumps claims that the war will be over in a few days, that he already won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, needs no help to win the war, the war will be over in 4-6 weeks, and there is no war in the first place because it’s not a war but an excursion. The excursion is needed to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have destroyed last year.
If that’s not perfectly clear, what is?

Trump’s Explains His Inept Cabinet
“I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.”
Trump Top 10 Statements Made March 26
- We will not negotiate. Of course they’re negotiating, [Mish: How is that logically possible?] Who wouldn’t negotiate?
- Now, before this started, the Dow hit 50,000. The S&P hit 7,000. Both of those achievements were not achievable. [Mish: Now that’s an amusing revelation]
- We’re building an arc, a triumphal arc, which will be incredible for the city, incredible.
- We love the farmers. We gave them $12 billion and they’re extremely happy.
- See, I’m a gold person. It’s all real stuff. You can’t imitate it. Someday, they’ll discover a paint that will look like gold and the guy’s going to be the richest man in the world.
- I love the government like I love myself economically.
- He was shocked, the head of Sharpie gets a call. So, for $5 — it could be zero — but for $5 I get a much better pen than for $1,000. And I can hand them out and actually they become hot as a pistol.
- You know, I settled eight wars, and many of them, I think were more difficult than this one.
- I mean, I read a story today that I’m desperate to make a deal. I’m not — I don’t — if I was desperate, he’d be the first to know.
- We have done an amazing job. I had to do a little stopover; I call it an excursion.
Yes, those statements were all made in a single day.
Here’s a bonus eleventh.
“And my predictions have been right. Trump was right about everything.”

Interesting map.
I wouldn’t want to be in East Asia / Austrialia because they import the bulk of the oil.
Europe and North America import virtually nothing (about 1.5 million combined) so in theory they can probably ration to get by.
But East Asia is going to be in a WORLD of hurt (10+ million in just 4 countries – China, Japan, S Korea and Australia).

Narcissistic personal disorder (NPD), part 2
Key Aspects of Judgment in Progressive NPD:
The USA is a failed state. The people elect a narcissistic moron. Cheer on his rank corruption and feel proud about murdering people in other countries. People believe his election was stolen with zero evidence and blindly submit to obvious lies.
The majority of individual US voters are corrupt because they continue to elect people who dole out money for welfare and special interests, in addition to hold criminals unaccountable.
A country run by a guy who is mentally ill. Check it on Google.
This means that the system is dysfunctional. He was nominated, elected, he is still in the office after 14 months. He is running the country to the ground and the system is OK with that. Everybody around him is fine with that. This is worse than Soviet Union under Gorbatchev.
Narcissistic personality disorder – Symptoms – Behaviors include a grandiose sense of self-importance, entitlement, exploitation of others, extreme jealousy, and fragile self-esteem that can lead to deep depression.
Narcissistic Collapse: This occurs when the tools a narcissist used to maintain their ego—such as looks, career success, or physical strength—fade with age. Without these, they may suffer a total breakdown, leading to intense rage, depression, or withdrawal.
Increased Bitterness: Older narcissists often become more aggressive, paranoid, and isolated. They may play the “victim” to gain sympathy and care from children or neighbors.
We are a country full of sick people. That 30% that are trumphumpers are just one of the kinds of sick we have. I bet 5% or less are what could be considered mentally healthy.

I love the people who take Trump literally. Most of these messages are not for you. They are for a specific person or group at a specific time. Let’s talk about a few examples. Nato defense spending, first term telling EU to find better alternatives to Russian gas and oil, getting the users of the Hormuz to help, getting Iran’s neighbor who have been attacked more than Israel involved and the list can go on. My favorite is getting democrats to come to the defense of pedophiles, human traffickers and murders who happen to be illegally in the country. Then showing the rest of the country who they are when they obstruct law enforcement: whack jobs with a temporary grip on sanity. Did I mention, the TSA debacle brought to you be Democrats. My view is any hope of winning the midterm elections due to Iran just went down the drain with the Airport debacle. The message is clear; Democrats don’t care about the average American and that message is resounding more than any of Trump’s statements used to negotiate. If I get enough encouragement, we can go through all the fun statements made by who ever the top Democratic contender is at the moment.
“They are for a specific person or specific group at a specific time.”
You know what it’s called when your opinions and even your entire truth changes depending on who you talk to? I’ll give you a few moments to think, scroll down when you’re ready!
The answer is “a liar”!
What’s clear is that MAGA will support whatever lies, contradictions or idiotic statements dribble out of Trump’s enfeebled, demented mind.
At this point, any remaining MAGA supporters show a total loss of connection to reality and should be treated as pariahs. You can’t have a functioning society built on a pile of rotting bullshit.
unfortunately for the strategy you just outlined is that there are cameras present and more than just that specific person is listening.
for example, when Trump says hes going to keep bombing Iran, just for fun, and also says he will stop, when he feels it in his bones, the Iranian people hear that and then that had a determination in whether they will support American actions or support their governments response to that.
same with our allies, when they

The Gulf states allow the occupation of their countries by US military bases, one would presume in part, because it should afford them some protection. Yet Israel-Trump’s war of choice–war of whim–has resulted in them being targets and not in the least defended. They should have taken a clue from the US permitting their master Israel to come into Qatar with bombings to assassinate negotiators.
Furthermore, they are being used to kill thousands of fellow Muslims. If they are not presently cogitating on the depth of their serious miscalculation and the utter dishonesty of the US Epstein class…

Executive Summary

The article presents a critical perspective on former President Donald Trump's recent statements and actions, particularly focusing on his remarks at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) Priority Summit and his broader foreign policy approach. Trump's comments, including a claim that a foreign leader must "be nice to me," are framed as diplomatically crass and indicative of a broader pattern of erratic behavior. The piece also highlights Ukraine's strategic defense agreements with Gulf states, where Ukraine offers cost-effective drone interceptors in exchange for Patriot missiles, underscoring a shift in global defense dynamics. Additionally, the article critiques Trump's contradictory statements about ongoing conflicts, his self-aggrandizing rhetoric, and the broader political and economic fallout of his policies, including market instability and partisan infighting. The narrative blends factual reporting with sharp editorial commentary, presenting a scathing view of Trump's leadership and its perceived consequences.
The article also touches on broader themes, such as the psychological and political implications of narcissistic leadership, the erosion of institutional norms, and the potential for systemic dysfunction. It references public reactions, including satirical and critical responses to Trump's statements, and raises questions about the long-term impact of his administration on U.S. and global stability. The tone is overwhelmingly critical, but it incorporates verifiable events, such as Ukraine's defense deals and Trump's public remarks, to ground its arguments in observable reality.

Full Take

The strongest version of this narrative presents a compelling critique of Trump’s diplomatic and leadership failures, grounded in verifiable statements and events. The article effectively highlights the contrast between Trump’s erratic rhetoric and Ukraine’s strategic defense partnerships, which are framed as pragmatic and mutually beneficial. The inclusion of direct quotes and specific details, such as the cost disparity between drone interceptors and Patriot missiles, lends credibility to the argument that Ukraine’s approach is more sustainable and adaptive. The piece also successfully contextualizes Trump’s remarks within a broader pattern of contradictory and self-aggrandizing behavior, which resonates with ongoing public and political discourse.
However, the article employs several manipulation patterns that warrant scrutiny. The use of emotionally charged language, such as "new low in diplomatic idiocy" and "despicable dipshit dictator," leans into rage bait and moral provocation, which can polarize readers rather than foster nuanced understanding. The framing of Trump’s statements as universally damaging assumes a singular interpretation of his intent, potentially oversimplifying the complexities of diplomatic signaling. Additionally, the article engages in strawmanning by presenting Trump’s supporters as uniformly delusional or corrupt, which may alienate readers who hold differing views. The inclusion of satirical elements, while entertaining, risks conflating humor with substantive critique, potentially undermining the seriousness of the issues at hand.
At its core, this narrative is driven by a paradigm of institutional distrust and a belief in the corrosive effects of narcissistic leadership. It assumes that Trump’s behavior is not only aberrant but symptomatic of deeper systemic failures in U.S. governance. This perspective echoes historical patterns of populist leadership, where charismatic figures exploit public frustrations while eroding normative constraints. The implications for human agency are significant: the article suggests that unchecked narcissism in leadership can lead to policy incoherence, market instability, and global reputational damage. The costs are borne by both domestic and international stakeholders, particularly those reliant on U.S. diplomatic and military support.
For readers seeking to engage critically with this narrative, several questions arise: How might Trump’s rhetoric be interpreted differently in private diplomatic channels versus public forums? What alternative explanations exist for the contradictions in his statements, beyond mere incompetence or malice? How do Ukraine’s defense agreements with Gulf states reflect broader shifts in global power dynamics, and what might this mean for U.S. influence in the region?
If this narrative were part of a coordinated influence campaign, the playbook would likely involve amplifying Trump’s most inflammatory statements while minimizing context that could humanize or rationalize his actions. The actual content aligns with this pattern to some extent, particularly in its selective framing of Trump’s remarks and its reliance on emotional triggers. However, the inclusion of verifiable facts and multiple perspectives—such as Ukraine’s defense deals—mitigates the risk of outright propaganda. The article ultimately serves as a critique rather than a manipulative campaign, though its rhetorical strategies could be refined to foster more constructive dialogue.
