The imbecile wants "raw earth" from Ukraine? If it was me, I'd give him raw earth and sell the "rare earth" materials to the UK and China. What an ignorant Dunce LMFAO 🤣
Before the meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky devolved into a heated exchange, Trump said that he and Zelensky would be signing a natural resources agreement at a press conference later this afternoon.
“We’re going to sign the agreement at the conference in the East Room a little while, right after lunch,” Trump told reporters inside the Oval Office. “It’s somewhat of an exciting moment, but the really exciting moment is where we get a– when they stop the shooting, and we end up with the deal. And I think we’re fairly close to getting that.”
Trump said “we don’t know exactly how much” money the US will be putting into the “reconstruction investment fund” that’s expected in the deal with Ukraine.
“We’re going to be putting some money in a fund that we’re going to get from the raw earth, that we’re going to be taking and sharing in terms of revenue. So it’s going to be a lot of money will be made from the sale and from the use of raw earth,” Trump said. “Our country doesn’t have much raw earth. We have a lot of oil and gas, but we don’t have a lot of the raw earth.”
Did you know Granville T. Woods, a Black inventor, created the induction telegraph in 1885, allowing moving trains and stations to communicate wirelessly and preventing deadly collisions?
But Thomas Edison, seeing its potential, claimed Woods had stolen the idea and took him to court in 1887 to try and take ownership of the invention. Woods fought back, proved he was the true inventor, and won the legal battle in 1888, securing his patents.
Because of his electrical and mechanical genius, Woods was called the “Black Edison”—not just because his work was groundbreaking but because white society often needed to compare Black brilliance to someone famous. But Woods outsmarted Edison and later declined a job offer from him, choosing to continue innovating independently.
Over his lifetime, he secured over 60 patents, including the automatic brake system, an improved electric railway system, the steam boiler furnace, and the third rail system still used in subways today.
