Trump declared himself "PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD" and is now crying as the world says EFF OFF

CONTEXT, from April of this year:

‘I Run the Country and the World’

Donald Trump believes he’s invincible. But the cracks are beginning to show.
By Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer


AND NOW (I think Raw Story meant "adversary," but I copied and pasted "as is" )

Trump complains about 'losing' India and Russia to our 'deepest, darkest' advisory

Trump lamented what he characterized as the "loss" of India and Russia to China Friday morning following the Chinese summit this week, and in a social media post, sarcastically gave the two countries his blessing and well wishes for their “long and prosperous future together.”

“Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China,” Trump wrote in an online post on his social media platform Truth Social. “May they have a long and prosperous future together!”

Trump shared an image of Chinese President Xi Jinping walking alongside Russia’s Vladimir Putin and India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the three of them having grown closer amid Trump’s antagonistic trade policy with India, and failed peace talks with Russia.

Why do Parker and Scherer believe Trump was being sarcastic?

tRump thinks he stopped the little war between Pakistan and India this year, when there is no evidence he did. He stuck his nose in, but was not effective. But he tried to push Modi hard to tell lies about it. Beyond that, I speculate that he might have conditioned lifting the ridiculous 50% tariffs in exchange for lying about his peace efforts.

The only shots fired have been by Americans against Americans, often aimed at our own children.

As for our former allies, they watch in dismay as America wrecks itself and a century’s worth of diplomatic relations — and make plans without us, because they must, in order to survive.

Meanwhile, back in Washington DC, Trump just had a festive dinner with our new billionaire overlords at the freshly-paved area he decided to call the Rose Garden Club. (Not a rose in sight — I’m glad Jackie Kennedy isn’t alive to see this) ETTD — as for Trump’s own demise, what do you think JD Vance is for? He’s not just a pretty face and charming conversationalist — he’s the creature of Peter Thiel, one of the billionaire overlords.

Also meanwhile — refighting the last 3 elections, and then some, eyes on the prize.
