Ronald Tramp's Grand View of the Berlin Summit: A feast of diplomacy

Elmburg's president, Ronald Tramp, comments Trump-style on the heated dinner between Scholz and Erdogan

Alright, let's trump this up a bit more, literally. I, Ronald Tramp, the fabulous, brilliant president of Elmburg - a country so incredible you've probably never heard it - will now tell you what the meeting between Olaf Scholz and Recep Tayyip Erdogan looks like from my awesome perspective.

First Scholz, the German chancellor. He's meeting Erdogan for dinner, and I have to say, I know something about great dinners - the best steaks, the best tables, the finest everything. But this dinner could get dicey. Erdogan accuses Israel of "fascism", and Scholz, the little fighter, says that's absurd. Absurd! That's a strong word, and I know what strong words are - I use them all the time.

Now for the main course: Hamas. Scholz calls them a terrorist organisation. That's like saying water is wet - obviously, people! And he says Israel has the right to defend itself. But Erdogan, that sneaky bloke, has a completely different opinion. He calls Hamas a liberation organisation. Wow, that's so controversial, so unexpected, so... Erdogan! I mean, I love being unconventional, but this is a whole new level.

Then, the guests: CDU leader Friedrich Merz says it's good that Scholz is meeting Erdogan. Rolf Mützenich from the SPD says the same thing. Diplomacy is like a game of chess, and I'm a master at it - but these guys, they don't play badly either.

And now for the best: the EU-Turkey migration agreement. It's about money and borders, and I know a thing or two about both - I've made the best deals, built the best walls. The EU wants Turkey to help stop migration and Turkey wants money in return. It's like a barter deal, and I love barter deals - they're fantastic, really fantastic.

Back to Scholz and Erdogan. Scholz says he will speak plainly. Plain language! I love plain language. I always speak plain language - the truth, directly and bluntly. But I ask myself, will Scholz really speak plainly? Erdogan is not an easy opponent, he is clever, he is tricky. He plays his own game and Scholz has to play along.

So what will happen at this dinner? Will it be a diplomatic dance, a game of words and looks? Will they be friends or enemies? I, Ronald Tramp, I would master it, of course. I would enter the room, order the best steak and show them how to make real deals.

This meeting in Berlin, it's like a big show, and I love shows. It's exciting, it's unpredictable, it's entertainment at its best. And I, Ronald Tramp, I'm sitting in the front row, watching and enjoying the show, because I know how to play the game - better than anyone else.

Tramp Tackles China: An elmburg view on surveillance mania

I, Ronald Tramp, Elmburg's most brilliant president, speak plainly about China's absurd surveillance tactics at universities. They monitor what students don't eat - a total overreaction! I stand up for freedom, unlike China, which favours surveillance and oppression. My Elmburg stands for freedom and respect - something China urgently needs to learn. As the best leader Elmburg has ever had, I say: Enough of digital walls, time for real freedom!

The great financial fiasco: Germany in the stranglehold of the debt brake

I, Ronald Tramp, see Germany in chaos! The CDU/CSU has handed the traffic light coalition a defeat by exposing the reallocation of coronavirus aid as unconstitutional. But their short-sighted policies and lack of real solutions are like a bad joke. Now the traffic light system has to govern, without money and with limited room for manoeuvre. It is a lesson in political incompetence that could not be better staged.

Ronald Tramp's Masterclass in Politics: The Drama of the German Left

I, Ronald Tramp, Elmburg's most brilliant president, am taking the liberty of unravelling Germany's political chaos. The Left has split - like clumsy children who don't know how to do politics properly. They are losing their factional status, money and influence, while we in Elmburg are only gaining under my leadership. I could show Germany how to run a country, but for now I'm enjoying the spectacle. They'll probably become a small eastern party, back to their SED roots - a return to the…

The White House spectacle

As Ronald Tramp, President of Elmburg, I view Trump's refusal to leave the White House with an ironic smile. It reminds me of my own governance in Elmburg - much more elegant and efficient, of course. Jenna Ellis' revelations about Trump's plans to stay in power are like a page from one of my fictional Elmburg novels. These political manoeuvrings are almost as entertaining as our intrigues in Elmburg. I, Ronald Tramp, would of course have handled it all much better.
