It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Donald Trump is planning to take office in January. Granted he is still beset by lawfare challenges, but he is showing his inner Obi-Wan Kenobi in that every slash the Democrats take at him just seems to make him stronger. In recent weeks, he has met with several foreign leaders, the most recent of whom is Polish President Andrzej Duda, whom Trump hosted at Trump Tower on Wednesday evening.

Duda, who enjoyed a good relationship with Trump during his first term, has been a proponent of supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia. Trump has been skeptical of providing aid to Ukraine and has criticized the NATO alliance of which Poland is a member.

“He’s doing a fantastic job. The people of Poland love him, they really do,” Trump said of Duda.

“He’s my friend, and we had four great years together,” Trump added.

The Trump campaign, in a readout issued after the meeting, said the two men spoke for two and a half hours and discussed the war in Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas.

It's important to note Poland's position in today's geopolitical landscape. Poland has always been sort of Europe's crossroads; it is on the way to everywhere, and Poland's troubled history reflects that. Today, Poland is a NATO member and shares a border with embattled Ukraine, which is no doubt cause for concern among Polish military leaders. It's not commonly known, but American reserve units will at times do their Annual Training (AT) in Poland; I know of one reservist in a medium truck company who recently spent some time in Poland and who indicated that the Polish troops he interacted with seemed concerned with little else but Russia. In that they have good reason; there is ample historical precedent.

President Duda, who (by European standards) is a right-wing populist, is in some ways Poland's Trump, although he supports multi-national aid for Ukraine while Trump has been decidedly cool on that idea in recent weeks. However, a quick look at a map is all it takes to reveal why Poland may be more concerned with Ukraine's survival than the United States is.

This isn't Trump's first such meeting with a foreign leader.

Trump has, in recent weeks, met with Hungarian President Viktor Orbán and British Foreign Secretary David Cameron. He also reportedly held a call with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Clearly, Trump isn't letting his ongoing trial slow him down any, and it seems Democrats are beginning to grow more than a little concerned; and given the state of their candidate, they have reason. This is a man who is maintaining a lead in the battleground states; he is leaning forward in the foxhole, and not entirely without reason.

But it's a long, long way to Tipperary, and a lot can happen in the six months between now and the election.

Donald Trump certainly gives every appearance of a man who is beginning to plan for a second term. These meetings with foreign heads of state are only one indicator. But I would caution him, as my grandfather was fond of saying, not to "cackle over eggs you ain't laid yet." The Trump campaign, to win, should plan to sprint to the finish, and then follow through.
