Hard to tell who (or what) wrote this. The first sentence is way too complex for Trump's idiot "style," but the mention of the RED LINE IN THE SAND is a Trump-like conflation of two cliches (you either draw a line in the sand, or you draw a red line. Not both.) The whole thing seems too crude for ChatGPT. It's probaably by some flunky combining a news report and Trump's blustery yelling about Obama and that red line.
Wish I'd thought of that. I wonder how you'd draw a red line in sand. Pencils or crayons wouldn't work. I suppose you could buy some red sand someplace and pour it, with a seed dispenser.
Its got some Trumpian adjectives, like "totally taken over" and "make a very big move". But I'd think an AI press release propted to write a Trump statement would have more random capitalizations and even more gratitous vague adjectives. Either way, the focus on Russia is what matters. But I'm of the opinion that in the end what Trump says doesn't much matter. Its all a carny's pitch to rile up the rubes and suckers, less a reliable indicator of anything than his history of actions. He talks a big game but hes risk averse when its a situation he can't control by throwing lawyers at it or talking to the media.
Josh Marshall commented that Dotard-in-Chief looked out of his element in Paris. Digby quoted him, and I'll just let her words provide the commentary on the weirdo:
"We had a lot of success working together on defense and offense too…" [Trump said.]
[Digby replied for all of us:] It’s so damned embarrassing.
I think the whole world has Trump's number, and will box him in with every move. They know what motivates scum like him: revenge and greed.
Macron: "Hey, Donnie le feu! Did you know Obama failed to uphold the Budapest Memorandum in Ukraine?"
Zelensky: "Excuse, please, but now could be the—how you say, right time—for a hostile takeover of the Putin Crime Syndicate, yes, Your Excellency?"
Trump's grandiosity is getting the best of him. In addition to calling for the release of hostages in Gaza, today he called for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine. For my part, I can't imagine anyone taking him seriously when he's making unilateral pronouncements without any commitment or understanding.
So that must mean that the media is going to report on the Prez-elect play-acting at diplomacy as if it is anything more than what pops into his empty skull (or was planted there deliberately, like a puppet on a string) to make him look vaguely successful.
I hope that Macron and Zelenskyy continue to talk up how "resolute" Trump sounds, and how with just a few more Patriots Ukraine will cease all the fires with so much "success working together on defense and on offense, too…"
Hearted, but Queens Man is now wholly owned by his phone. Whatever is going on in the real world is tertiary to his thumbing the screen. It does not matter that he is not in office – in or out all he will do is twit. And it is enough for him.

Blood is readily available...

Could be a flunky named Musk, in his "Grok" mode?
No intelligence necessary, just artificial…

Well, that and the grift.
