Stephen King once again made his feelings about Donald Trump known by sharing a savage joke about his inner circle.
The author returned to Elon Musk’s social platform X last week after vowing to leave last November.
He left little time calling out the POTUS.
King wrote: “What’s the difference between Trump’s cabinet and a cactus? With a cactus, all the pricks are on the outside. Thank you, I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.”
“The only problem with this joke is that it’s way too generous to Trump’s cabinet” one person on X responded.
It comes as Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said no security guarantee with the US has been agreed and described the deal between the two countries as a ‘framework’.
Also, a White House official has cast doubt on Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s purported trip to Washington on Friday. Speaking anonymously to Reuters, the official said: “If the Ukrainian leader says the deal isn’t finalised, I don’t see why an invitation would make sense. There’s an expectation that his coming is to recognise a final position, and he is not at a final position in his own words in this new wording.”
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has lashed out at the unacceptability to Russia of the deployment of European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine.
He said: “We cannot consider any options. [US president Donald] Trump said that a decision on the deployment of peacekeeping forces would only be possible with the consent of both sides. Apparently referring to us and Ukraine. Nobody has asked us about this.
“This approach, which is being imposed by the Europeans, primarily France, but also the British, is aimed at what I just mentioned: to further fuel the conflict and to stop any attempts to calm it down.
“Therefore, we cannot get away with such simple technical measures like deploying troops. We need to talk about the root causes. The root causes were the dragging of Ukraine into Nato and the total eradication of the rights of Russians and Russian-speaking people.”
Lavrov then confirmed that US and Russian diplomats will have high-level talks in Istanbul on Thursday with the aim of improving diplomatic relations between the two nations, particularly with regard to how their embassies work.
