It doesnt affect him financially, and to a great extent even personally, like all those stock market bros and the events that led up to the 2008 crash. He took a risk based on nothing but vibes, it didnt work, and just shrugged his shoulders saying “oh well lol”
Oh, oh nononoOOoo. This was basically Ceasefire+, with the promise of an actual peace deal if the negotiations that will follow the coming 60 days actually end up with a deal both sides agree on. This document was just the opening shot. See how Trump already said he might start bombing again if he doesn't like the end result. And seeing how everyone is mocking him, I wouldn't put it past him to throw a temper tantrum and just start bombing again out of spite.
It's more that when you're looking at something's value, gold leaf on top *represented* as a "gold" object is seen as fake. Traditionally it was wonderful but in modern production it's "gilded garbage" as a colloquial sort of concept. You can trust him in this, at least: everything he's done and sold has been that brand of "shiny on top, garbage core" so he knows it well.
I'm not really sure I buy that he, internally, had the intention of weakening the US. He's just a shitty grifter that will steal and cannibalize anything he can from anything he controls in order to make any amount of gains for himself. He'd sell off $100M of things he doesn't own just to profit $100k for himself. I do think that knowing how he operates, he was intentionally put into power in the US to simply do what he does, weakening it, but I don't believe he has the wherewithal to plan it.
That is to say, I don't think "guy who fucks everything up" intentionally tries to fuck everything up, he's just bad at everything. Putin saw that, and helped put "guy who fucks everything up" in charge with probably very few strings attached in reality because he could simply sit back and watch "guy who fucks everything up" fuck everything up.
I do 100% believe he had intent to steal. Just not to run the US itself this badly. Like, I think he thought he was going to do a good job AND steal at the same time.

I wonder if Iran proposed it as a joke and Trump, not knowing the history, thought it was a good idea.

Did Macron pick Versaille to humiliate Trump or did Putin pick it to humiliate the United States?
egoAristippos
Whoever convinced him to sign it at Versailles is a devious little devil. Nice sense of humour!

So now that we surrendered the war is over? How long till Israel comes up with an excuse to lob more bombs into Iran?

I wonder if anyone told him about the OTHER peace treaty signed at Versailles?

He just loves how gaudy it is, like everything else he gushes about. So superficial.

Someone HAD to be trolling him lol

Did you hear how he said about Versailles "this is not gold leaf, this is the real deal"? People should start calling him gold leaf

Or "gold leave..." take your fake gold expertise and leave, sir.

Does he think gold leaf isn't real gold?

Looks that way.
What's interesting is Versailles does have some gold leaf https://en.chateauversailles.fr/news/life-estate/restoration-royal-chapel/professions/gilder

He does not give a shit about Americans.
Eyeetsass
He doesn’t give a shit about anyone. He’s incapable. All he knows is loyalty, and he is only loyal to Bibi, and Putin.

He does give a shit about himself. But that’s the only one.

It gets a lot more understandable if you operate from the assumption that he was there to weaken the USA while stealing as much as he can.

Id say hes done a pretty good job of stealing. Set up ICE for over $700B and yeah : $700. Not $70. Just ONE facility cost them $40B.. took
