Especially with his speech, which unfortunately was not the speech of a brilliant economist and president and is truly worth reading...
I must admit - albeit reluctantly - that my conviction about the incorrect choice of the Americans is growing stronger day by day! And yet I would be immensely happy if this president did not become a bogeyman for the whole world and was its salvation, as he claimed in his campaign š¤ā¹ļø

American President Donald Trump delivered a somewhat disjointed speech with many digressions in Qatar.
In one part, for example, in the presence of representatives from Qatar, the USA, and Boeing company representatives, he smoothly transitioned from deadly drones in Ukraine to the climbing skills of US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, then to the bike rides of his predecessor Pete Buttigieg, and further. The president's speech became a target of jokes in the United States, understandably mainly from Trump's critics.
"When you look at what's happening with Russia and Ukraine, the drones are killing massive numbers of people. You hide behind a tree and a drone comes down and surrounds you with fire. You have no chance. By the way, the tree comes down too. It's so intense. You see those trees falling like they were cut by the best lumberjacks. Like, you know, who is Sean Duffy?" Trump asked those present at one point.
He then answered himself and continued smoothly: "You know, that Sean Duffy, the head of the Department of Transportation, who is currently working on airports and implementing a system because (previous US President Joe) Biden did nothing for four years. And (previous US Secretary of Transportation) Pete Buttigieg was the head and rode his bike to work. Can you believe he was running the biggest airline system in the world and he rode a bicycle? They say he's going to run for president. But I don't think so. Who knows?" Trump continued.
At that moment, Trump still hadn't explained the reason for his digression from military drones to lumberjacks and to Secretary Duffy.
Subsequently, he criticized the previous administration for an excessive number of contractors and contracts in the area of aviation systems. "They wasted billions of dollars trying to connect airline systems with copper. They tried to connect copper with glass, but glass doesn't work with copper," the White House chief then described without explanation, his meandering mind at that point slowly beginning to reach the reason why the most powerful man in the world remembered Secretary Duffy when talking about drones and falling trees.
"But what people don't know about Sean, because I mentioned lumberjacks, that Sean, you probably don't know this," Trump began broadly again, before pointing to a person in the room.
"I'm not talking about this Sean. This is a different Sean. Sean Duffy, the Secretary of Transportation.
But this is a great Sean, I have to tell you,", added before the final explanation came.
"Sean Duffy was a world champion for five years, climbing up and down trees, he's a champion. That's what you call a real lumberjack. And he's doing a fantastic job, he's a really respected guy and a great guy. And I mentioned a champion because when someone is a champion, they are a world champion for a long time. He was coming down. When you're coming down from those trees, fast, he said your back starts to hurt. You often break it. You miss and fall down much faster than a human body should. But he's doing a fantastic job in transportation.
And this was a historic trip," Trump added about the trip to Qatar.
The White House chief covered a range of topics during his speech.
Among other things, he mentioned that he knew in advance that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not come to the meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, for the reason that he himself was not going there.
He also spoke about tariffs, relations with Qatar and Saudi Arabia, repeated unsubstantiated claims about the "stolen" American presidential election in 2020, and a new American submarine which, according to him, can stay submerged for "30 years".
He also mentioned that investing in artificial intelligence might be a good thing and might not be. ** "You'll figure it out," ** he told those present.
....
If you're wondering when he got back to the drones, ** he never did! **
