Donald Trump is reportedly feeling "shattered" after the leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea "threw him to the curb," according to a former insider.Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani whose conduct on behalf of the first Trump administration was at the heart of the president's impeachment for purportedly abusing his authority to benefit in the election, wrote an article on Friday called, "Another Deadline, Another Illusion: Trump’s Dictator Dreams Collapse" in which he argues, "Trump worships strongmen who mock him."Calling on his experience as a Soviet-born operative sent to Ukraine by Giuliani to "dig up dirt on Biden," Parnas claims that the president is obsessed with dictators such as Putin."Well, here we are again, folks. Another two weeks, another deadline has passed—Donald Trump once more promising to be 'tough on Russia.' He threatened sanctions. He floated secondary tariffs. He postured like a strongman. But in reality, all Donald Trump is worried about right now has nothing to do with holding Putin accountable. It’s about his own obsession—his place in the world of dictators," Parnas wrote before highlighting a recent meeting between leaders of Russia, China, and North Korea. "Because while Ukraine fights for survival and Europe steps forward, Trump sulks. Shattered, shunned, left standing outside the dictators’ club he so desperately wants to join. Putin brushes him off. Modi turns to China. Kim Jong-un toys with him. And the fanboy president is left begging for approval from men who laugh behind his back," Parnas wrote. "Trump has always seen himself as part of the dictators’ club. In his mind, Putin was his friend. Modi was his friend. Kim Jong-un was his friend. He bragged about it endlessly, believing their handshakes and photo ops meant loyalty."But according to the former insider who was later convicted of campaign finance and fraud crimes, "those men never saw him as an equal.""They saw him as a mark. Putin used him and discarded him. Modi shifted toward whoever gave India leverage. And now, with China pulling Moscow and Delhi closer into its orbit, Trump feels it slipping away," he added. "The dictators he idolizes don’t admire him—they mock him. He talks tough about 'negotiating,' but deep down, he’s a fanboy, desperate for their approval. And every time, he’s thrown to the curb."Read the full post here.

Mere moments after President Donald Trump took to social media Friday to complain about having “lost” India to China, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman delivered a vicious snub to the Trump administration on an issue that has sparked the president’s fury.The Trump administration has slapped India with its highest tariff rate of 50%; a 25% baseline tariff, and an additional 25% secondary tariff as a penalty for its continued purchasing of Russian oil. Trump was reportedly “completely upset” with India over its refusal to halt its purchasing of Russian oil, and Friday, bemoaned the two countries’ “lost” relationship.Just moments after Trump’s social media musings, however, India defied Trump yet again, with Sitharaman declaring that India would continue to do “what suits us best.”“Where we buy our oil from, especially a big-ticket foreign exchange item where we pay so much, highest in terms of import, we will have to take a call on what suits us best,” Sitharaman said, speaking in a televised interview on Friday, Bloomberg reported. “We will undoubtedly be buying.”India had already responded to the Trump administration’s steep tariffs, halting the purchase of billions of dollars’ worth of American-made weapons. The nation paused a previously-planned purchase of Boeing planes, Javelin missiles and combat vehicles in early August, a decision that will likely land a significant blow to American arms manufacturers, with India being the world’s second-largest arms importer.The snub also comes in the wake of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin at a summit this week in eastern China, further forming a wedge between the United States and India.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping were caught discussing how to use organ harvesting to become immortal.During Putin's visit with Xi on Wednesday, the two leaders spoke while attending China's Victory Day parade. The men, both 72, could be heard on CCTV discussing aspirations to live to 150."Earlier, people rarely lived to 70, but these days at 70 you are still a child," Xi told Putin, according to a translation."With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted and people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality," Putin agreed."Predictions are, this century, there is also a chance of living to 150," Xi replied.Last year, Putin reportedly ordered the Kremlin to rapidly increase anti-aging research."It's creepy to say the least," Michael Allen, a former national security official, told Fox News. "But it was strange and weird, no doubt about that. And deeply menacing."Watch the video below from Fox News.

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he issued a military strike on a drug cartel, killing 11 people. Taking to Truth Social after, Trump explained it was a "kinetic strike," which is typically a bullet, bomb, drone, or missile, though there have been political "strikes" for regime change. Trump claimed that the cartel leaders he killed were "positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists." Trump's administration claimed previously that people were in the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs due to their tattoos, like an autism ribbon.Trump said that the terrorists were in the "SOUTHCOM area of responsibility." According to its website, SOUTHCOM covers "Central America, South America, and The Caribbean (except U.S. commonwealths, territories, and possessions)." Trump went on to say that he designated the group a "Foreign Terrorist Organization (sic)," which he claims is under the command of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.Trump said that the gang is "responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence and terror across the United States and Western Hemisphere."He went on to say that "the strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States. The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!"Trump then closed the post writing, "Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!!!!!!" which Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has mocked him for relentlessly.

U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to "do something" after Russian President Vladimir Putin flouted his latest two-week deadline on the war in Ukraine.In an interview with conservative radio host and CNN contributor Scott Jennings, Trump said he was "very disappointed" in Putin."He and I always had a great relationship," the U.S. president told Jennings. "Very disappointed. Thousands of people are dying. They're not Americans that are dying, but they're Russians and they're Ukrainians, and there's thousands, and it's a war that makes no sense.""And it would have never started if I were president, and that's what bothers me even more, because the election was totally rigged," he continued. "We'll see what happens, but I'm very disappointed in President Putin.""I can say that, and we'll be doing something to help people live."In August, Trump extended an earlier deadline, giving Putin "a couple of weeks" before deciding what actions to take against the Kremlin. "We'll see what happens," he said. "I think in two weeks, we'll know which way I'm going, because I'm going to go one way or the other, and they'll learn which way."
