Few people have been the subject of such a storm in such a short time as Donald Trump. Since he became president again, one statement after another has stirred strong emotions around the world. But now a statement is getting a lot of attention, one that the president didn’t even think would be picked up.
The world is more troubled than ever. Since Donald Trump and Zelenskyy met in the Oval Office, the world situation has been shaken up. Shortly after their meeting, there was also news that the United States had suspended all aid to Ukraine, which caused enormous emotions. “The president has made it clear that he is focused on peace. We want our partners to be equally committed to that goal. We are pausing and reviewing our assistance to ensure that it contributes to a solution,” an anonymous White House source told CNN. Since then, negotiations have taken place to reach a peace agreement, but everything is far from clear. Until peace can finally be achieved in the war in Ukraine, many need to come to the negotiating table with both demands and compromises.
The letter from Zelenskyj But there is another thing about Donald Trump that has made headlines, in the midst of work on the peace agreement. Just recently, the president gave a speech to the US Congress and made one tough statement after another. Among other things, Trump said that he had received a letter from Zelenskyj in which the Ukrainian president allegedly apologized for the fight in the Oval Office. What exactly was in the letter is unclear, but Trump was more than happy with what had been written. – I appreciated that he sent the letter. At the same time, we have had serious discussions with Russia and they have signaled that they are ready for peace. Wouldn’t that be beautiful? Wouldn’t that be beautiful? Trump said, reports the BBC.
The meeting with the chief justice But that’s not the only thing about his speech in Congress that has caused a stir. In connection with his speech, Trump also met with John Roberts, chief justice of the US Supreme Court, before he was to stand up and address everyone gathered. The cameras captured how the two gentlemen met shortly before and exchanged a few words. And that’s exactly what was said that caused a stir. Because what Donald Trump probably didn’t know was that there were those who recorded the sound of their conversation. The cameras captured how they shook hands and Trump gave Roberts a friendly pat on the back. That’s when he is said to have said a few well-chosen words. “Thank you so much again. Thank you so much again. I won’t forget that,” Trump is heard saying to Robert
Huge criticism after leaked words Since then, there has been wild speculation about what Trump actually thanked Roberts for. And as for the Democrats, they believe they have a clear theory about what it could be. “It was not immediately clear what, exactly, Trump thanked him for. Although there have been more than a few cases in recent years of the Supreme Court intervening in favor of the president,” a source reportedly told the site. The site HuffPo believes that there was a special reason for Trump’s thanks. The fact that the American president thanks the chief justice is hardly a coincidence. “Roberts gave Trump a card to avoid going to jail, and Trump is grateful. Whatever decisions come from the court about Trump’s illegal administration are now tainted by Trump’s gratitude to Roberts. He ripped off the mask of the court’s claim to fairness and independence and exposed its most important accomplice,” writes author Paul Blumenthal. Donald Trump’s defense But Donald Trump himself has of course not missed this uproar. After the speculation began to abound, he was quick to defend himself, calling the conspiracy theories “fake news.” “If these “journalists” had done their jobs, they would have known that I thanked him for SWORN TO ME ON INAUGURATION DAY AND DID A GREAT JOB AT IT! Fake News never stops!”, Trump has said about the incident.
