Trump playing chess while everybody playing Ludo

Dem Boys Seh…

Kaieteur News- Dem boys always hear how Trump is a man who does talk before he think. But dem boys seh don’t be fooled. That man playing chess while everybody else playing Ludo.

You see, Trump know how to squeeze people without lifting a finger. He don’t send aid, he don’t beg, he don’t plead—he threaten. And guess what? It working!

Look Panama. Trump just glare at dem, and next thing you know, dem agreeing to take third-party prisoners. Who tell dem play stubborn? Trump soften dem up nice and slow till dem say, “Yes, boss, we’ll take dem prisoners.” He also get them to push back on de Chinese and de Panama Canal and Mexico? Lawd! Trump tell dem if dem don’t stop all dem illegal people from coming over, he slapping tariffs on everything—tortilla, tequila, even the tacos. Mexico scramble like a man hear tax increase coming. Next thing, dem boys sending 10,000 troops to guard Trump border for free. That is what Trump National Guard should be doing, but no, Mexico doing it instead. Trump play dem like a steel pan at Carnival.

Now, Trump eyeing Ukraine like a man watching gold chain in a Georgetown minibus. He telling Ukraine, “Look, I might help you, but wha you got fuh me?” Ukraine got rich minerals—lithium, titanium, all kinda fancy thing America want. So, Trump gon make Ukraine sign a deal: minerals fuh future assistance. Dat is de art of de deal!

And watch how he handling Russia. Trump know if he promise Ukraine too much, Putin gon get vex and war gon drag on. So, he gon sweet talk Russia into a peace deal where he don’t have to give Ukraine too much, just enough to make dem feel good. In other words, he gon sell dem dreams and keep the profit.

Now, dem boys watching all of this and wondering: why Guyana leaders can’t learn a thing or two? Trump shaking down big, powerful countries like he selling plantain chips at the market, but Guyana got all this oil and can’t even squeeze a lil better deal out of ExxonMobil. Guyana leaders too soft, too weak-kneed.

Trump don’t beg, he don’t plead, he don’t say “Please, Mr. Exxon.” He seh, “Y’all gon pay up or else!” But in Guyana, is Exxon giving the “or else,” and the leaders just nodding like bobblehead dolls.

Dem boys seh is time Guyana stop playing Ludo and start playing chess. Otherwise, we gon end up in a game we never sign up fuh—and worse, we might even lose de board!

Talk half. Leff half.
