Twice-impeached and indicted former President Trump told a Reuters reporter on Thursday he would force the ChiComs to vacate their not actually new spy outpost in Cuba within two days after he’s reelected before lowering the timeframe to one hour in the very next sentence of the interview.
“I’d give them 48 hours to get out. And if they didn’t get out, I’d charge them a 100% tariff on everything they sell to the United States, and they’d be gone within two days. They’d be gone within one hour,” Trump said about the base that has actually been known to American intelligence officials since 2019, when he was still in office. There’s a non-zero chance there’s a map or some other details about the base among the classified documents Trump stole from the White House.
On the subject of Ukraine and Russia, the disgraced loser said his boss Vladimir Putin has been “somewhat weakened” after the attempted mutiny by the Wagner Group mercenaries, but above all else he wants “people to stop dying over this ridiculous war” and that the Ukrainians “would be entitled to keep much of what they’ve earned and I think that Russia likewise would agree to that. You need the right mediator, or negotiator, and we don’t have that right now.”
