Trump the Marauder

Macron's proposal was a stroke of brilliance—so sharp that it left Trump visibly shaken, caught off guard, and humiliated in front of the world. During the press conference, Macron pointed out the obvious: if Trump is so concerned about financial aid to Ukraine, why not demand compensation from Russia, the actual aggressor? He also emphasized that Europe has contributed over 60% of Ukraine’s funding in real money—not just grants and loans, as the U.S. has done.

As usual, Trump inflated the numbers, falsely claiming that America had poured hundreds of billions into Ukraine. In reality, most of those funds never left U.S. soil; they flowed straight into the pockets of American weapons manufacturers, strengthening the U.S. economy while Europe shouldered the burden. America was profiting from the war—extracting wealth from Europe while now maneuvering to seize control of Ukraine’s mineral and natural resources.

But Trump’s ambitions go even further. His goal isn’t to secure these resources for the United States as a nation but to hand them over to his inner circle—his family and close allies. This is clear from the terms of the so-called "agreement" being forced upon Ukraine, which includes restrictions on arms sales and even threats to cut off access to Starlink.

Let’s call it what it is: looting. Trump is a marauder, and the world needs to hear it—loud and clear.
