Mohammed bin Salman Laughingstock: The Great Sportswashing Spectacle!

Bin Salman tries to cover his "dirty laundry" problem with even more dirt

So, there I am, Ronald Tramp, President of Elmburg, sitting on my gold-plated Tramp Tower throne, hearing about this MBS and his "sportswashing". I had to laugh. Almost as loud as when I heard that ducks are actually waterproof.

So Mohammed bin Salman wants to use sports to cover up his little "flaws" (i.e., little things like human rights violations)? Reminds me of the little boy who wants to cover up the ketchup stain on his shirt with more ketchup. "No one will see, I promise!" - Yeah, right.

He's laughing at "sportswashing"? I'm laughing at his attempts to avoid actual washing. Just like you can't get a dirty T-shirt clean by just putting an expensive jacket over it.

His pride in GDP is cute. Reminds me of a boy with a new toy train: "Look how fast it goes!" Yes, we see them, MBS, but we also see all the rubbish on the tracks.

He's got Ronaldo? Nice. I have a gold-plated tramp-ball in my office who costs just as much but at least doesn't keep wanting a new contract. But hey, at least Saudi Arabia now has a new hobby: collecting expensive players. A bit like stamps, only they sweat.

And then this "Vision 2030"! MBS wants to modernise his country in ten years? I once had a vision that Elmburg should have the biggest chocolate fountain in the world in ten days. Do you know what happened? Everything got sticky. Very sticky.

500 billion for a city in the desert? Sure, why not? I once thought about building a tramp ocean in the desert. But then I thought, "Why not two?" Can I borrow MBS? I promise I'll give him back some of my gilded sand too.

I also find it fascinating how he compares sport to economics. "If you want to diversify an economy, you have to work in all sectors," he says. Sounds a bit like, "If you want a pizza, you have to shop in all the shops." Logical. Why order a pizza when you can have a TV, a car and a helicopter? All necessary for that delicious pizza.

Finally, the World Cup in Qatar. I picture MBS waving a little flag and shouting, "Look, we won!" But you know what? With all the money and all the shiny stadiums he has, there's one thing he can't buy: Authenticity.

So, dear world, let's play a game: "Spot the Sportswash". The winner gets... well, maybe a piece of my chocolate fountain. Because, as we all know, at the end of the day, it's not how much gold you have, but how much chocolate you can share. Cheers, MBS!

Ronald Tramp's take on Oktoberfest: Great, but keep it traditional!

I, Ronald Tramp, love traditions and Oktoberfest is one of the best. 200 years of lederhosen, beer and brass music - fantastic! Yes, I see the green trends, but the Wiesn should remain authentic. The Able family has the right approach, but I say let's keep the classics alive. Cheers, and enjoy the real Oktoberfest!

Elon's Grand Turkey Deal: Is he really that smart?

I, Ronald Tramp, have seen many deals, but this one? Elon runs to Turkey and asks for Starlink. Erdoğan, clever as he is, demands a Tesla factory. Elon, you have to learn to negotiate with the big guys!

India's Slow Revolution: Why 30 Years?

I, Ronald Tramp, have analysed India's "quick" decision of 30 years and - folks, it's a farce! Rwanda shows how it's done, Germany is okay, but India? An eternity! You should really take Elmburg as an example.
