Nice One, Richard!

 



Richard Gowan said in a recent edition of Foreign Policy that Trump's "Board Of Peace" might better be named the Board of Discord.  He notes that LESS DISCORDANT countries like Sweden and the U.K. turned down his once-in-a-lifetime offer to JOIN UP FOR LIFE (for a cool billion dollars each) while Russia, Saudi Arabi and a few others are actually considering signing on.

It's JUST ANOTHER VANITY PROJECT if you ask me, but I know you didn't.  What does this master of international diplomacy -- who has even managed to piss off CANADA, for crying out loud -- hope to accomplish?

Questions: A billion dollars so you can join up for whose lifetime?  The country's?  Your own personal lifetime?  Trump's visibly-dwindling lifetime?  What else is included in that fee?

I figure he just wants the billion dollars.
