Trump wanted to be Ambassador to USSR

[angrychair]

In the 80's trump wanted to Reagan to make him ambassador to USSR, even then he wanted to make a deal and sell us all out.

"Those are the words he used. And he said he would go to Moscow and he'd sit down with Gorbachev, and then he took his thumb and he hit the desk and he said, 'And within one hour the Cold War would be over!' I sat there dumbfounded. 'Who is this self-inflated individual? Is he sane or what?'"

1. Many people are saying Trump has found a cure for cancer

Too bad he can't cure his own malignancy

2. Well, ain't THAT an interesting bit of history?

Thanks for the link. It was well worth reading.

Seems as if Trump's "I alone can fix it" grandiosity knows no bounds -

"He already had Russia mania in 1986, 31 years ago," asserts Bernard Lown, a Boston-area cardiologist known for inventing the defibrillator and sharing the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize with a top Soviet physician in recognition of their efforts to promote denuclearization. Lown, now 95 and retired in Newton, Massachusetts, tells The Hollywood Reporter that Trump sought and secured a meeting with him in 1986 to solicit information about Mikhail Gorbachev. (Gorbachev had become the USSR's head of state — and met with Lown — the year before.) During this meeting, Lown says, the fast-rising businessman disclosed that he would be reaching out to then-President Ronald Reagan to try to secure an official post to the USSR in order to negotiate a nuclear disarmament deal on behalf of the United States, a job for which Trump felt he was the only one fit."

" 'I intend to call my good friend Ronnie,' meaning Reagan, 'to make me a plenipotentiary ambassador for the United States with Gorbachev.' "

He probably can't even say "plenipoteniary" these days. It has 7 syllables.
