They just need to "make a deal" with the guy, then do nothing further. Maybe buy some of his crypto coins.

Trump just wants to announce a deal. He doesn't care if it is carried out or not.

It is all smoke and mirrors with Trump. Appearances are everything. He wants the appearance of a strong leader making other countries bend to his will. Reality is no longer a factor in MAGA policies.

Example: Trump just stopped seven wars. Ooops! Update. Now he claims he stopped ten wars. Though he can't name them.

He doesn't care about wars or peace. He just wants adulation, even if it is all built on lies.
