He finally said it. The Ukrainian president, a nice man but very low energy, told the press — that very failing Guardian, but they had the biggest reach ever, they know I make numbers — that he told me Putin is playing games. Which is tremendous, because I told him that first, years ago, I always said it, I knew before anybody, and now he’s admitting it publicly, so the Fake News can’t hide it anymore. People are saying, many very smart people, they’re calling me and saying, “Sir, you were the first, you predicted Putin plays games.” And I was. Look back at every transcript, every beautiful transcript, every perfectly transcribed transcript — I said Putin plays games with Washington. I was the first, the loudest, the best. And now even Zelenskyy says it, the ratings are huge, through the roof!

He also pointed out — and this is where he’s a little bit smart — that Ukraine didn’t get “that volume of support” compared with what the U.S. gave its Gulf allies and Israel after the war with Tehran. Volume! I invented volume. I gave Ukraine the most volume ever seen, much bigger than what the Gulf allies got, which was tremendous, but mine was better. They got a little, I gave the biggest numbers, the kind of successful, rich-guy numbers only Diklis Chump can produce. But that’s okay, he’s negotiating, he’s learning from the master — me, the greatest negotiator, author of The Art of the Deal, number one bestseller, very large book, sold more copies than the Bible probably. And I’m holding back because I’m playing the long game, the 4D chess, very dignified chess, all part of the pre‑announced plan, which is to win, and we’re winning so much you’re going to be tired of winning.

Meanwhile, at the Garden, Madison Square Garden, a tremendous place I built practically, they showed me on the screen during the NBA Finals. The reaction was the biggest in history. Some plants, very low IQ, paid by the failing New York Post probably, tried to boo, but we don’t count low-energy plants. The real reaction was a standing ovation, the biggest in the history of the Garden, bigger than for Michael Jordan, bigger than the moon landing, bigger than the Super Bowl times a million. I made the NBA massive, I gave them ratings nobody has ever seen, through the roof, and they boo me with their little plants? I’m not mad at the crowd, I’m mad at the weak owners who let the ratings fall — they call me, they say Diklis we need you, we love the numbers. Sometimes I wonder why they even come out, why are they HERE, who can say, but the crowd was the biggest, and they know it. They absolutely need me to keep the seats full.

And California? Total disaster, they’re counting ballots for weeks. I said it months ago, I said the California election is being stolen, they said no rigging, now look, they can’t even count, they’re cheating, they’re using the machines, everybody knows it. I remember perfectly, I have the best memory, the doctors said no one has a better one — person woman man camera TV — I remember every ballot, every number, and the Fake Media says I never said it, but I have the tapes, my lawyer has the beautiful tapes. My uncle, a great professor at MIT, the brilliant Dr. John Chump, taught me years ago that the numbers don’t add up in a rigged system, and now look. I’m suing the state, twelve trillion dollars in damages, completely self-made damages, just a small loan of a million, twelve trillion, and I’ll win because I always win.

The Kennedy Center took my name off, a disgrace, but I’m building the Chump Center, all gold, on Fifth Avenue, the most beautiful center you’ll ever see. And the tough generals — very tough men, big strong men from the old days — came to my office with tears in their eyes, they said “Sir, Sir, Diklis, you’re the greatest, don’t worry about the Center, we love you.” Even the Ukrainian soldier generals, the most loyal, came and wept, they said “Sir, Mr. Chump, you are the greatest military mind since Lincoln, maybe even better, because Lincoln didn’t have to deal with the nuclear, the really bad nuclear.” I told them I know, it’s very nice, but I already knew because I’m a stable genius. And I’m not angry — it’s a beautiful trap, they think they won by removing my name, but they actually lost, the biggest trap in history, part of the 4D chess.

I told them to stop shooting — both sides, I said stop — and they stopped. It’s a fragile ceasefire, even while they’re still accusing each other of violating the truce, but I made it happen with my powerful appeal. The Houthis, very low IQ people, they start again, but you can’t fix low IQ, it’s genetics — my uncle, the MIT professor, taught me that. I’m doing the exact truce framework I promised, everybody wins, they just don’t know they’re winning yet. Putin thinks he’s playing chess, but I’m letting him play so I can take the whole board. And the markets, the economy is the best it’s ever been, much bigger than the internet, bigger than the wheel itself, and everyone is saying, the very smart people, they’re all saying I’ve won. I mean we, we’ve all won, but mostly me — I mean us, the workers, a little bit of winning, but mostly me. Tremendous. Just tremendous. You have never seen anything like it.
