Donald Trump: US President's Secret Plans Cause Dismay

news.de Donald Trump: US President's Secret Plans Cause Dismay Franziska Kais • 51 minutes • 2 minutes read Donald Trump made all sorts of headlines this week, too. This week's headlines surrounding Donald Trump were dominated by his planned deal for Ukraine, which is in turn jeopardized by the Crimea issue, a suspected secret plan for a third term, and an embarrassing video of the US President recorded during a church service. These were the Trump news of the week. "Surrendering to a Dictator" - Dismay over the Details of Trump's Ukraine Plan Right at the start of the new week, Donald Trump caused dismay when he leaked the details of his proposed Ukraine plan before his scheduled phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. During an interview aboard Air Force One, Trump stated that he wanted to speak with the Kremlin chief about the division of land, power plants, and assets. Several observers were horrified and equated Trump's plans with "capitulation to a dictator." Negotiations on ending the war could fail over the Crimea issue But soon afterward, it became clear that negotiations with Vladimir Putin would be anything but easy. Ultimately, Trump's Ukraine plan could founder on the Crimea issue. While the US President is reportedly willing to recognize the peninsula illegally annexed by Putin as Russian, Volodymyr Zelensky, like Putin, has a strong interest in Crimea and has promised his people to recapture the peninsula. It's hard to imagine either leader giving in on this. "Time to call him Sleepy Don" - US President mocked for embarrassing video Donald Trump also made headlines outside of the Ukraine negotiations. This week, an embarrassing video of the US President went viral. He was filmed during a memorial service, his eyelids becoming increasingly heavy and he almost falling asleep. Trump's disrespectful behavior was met with ridicule and criticism online. "Time to call him Sleepy Don," one joked. "We're working on it" - Trump confidant reveals secret plan for third term Donald Trump's secret plans for a third term also caused a stir. According to a former confidant, arrangements are already being made quietly to enable the Republican to run for a third term. The insider remained tight-lipped about how exactly this will be accomplished.
