Uri Geller, famed Israeli mentalist: ‘Even I can’t read Trump’s mind’

Even as he nears 80, Uri Geller is still telling stories we may never know are true, from bending a spoon before Salvador Dalí to hypnotizing Michael Jackson and refusing to use his powers to win the lottery.
At one point in his life, Uri Geller decided to found a country, with an anthem and even a soccer team. He bought an uninhabited island in Scotland for £30,000 and offered people the chance to become citizens of his new country for just one dollar. All the money was meant to be donated to Wolfson Medical Center.
He did not stop there. Geller says he even appointed U.S. President Donald Trump as president of the island he owns, a decision he now regrets. “He is unpredictable,” Geller says in an interview with ynet. “Even I can’t read his mind.”
Geller says he negotiated hard for the island. “I saw an ad in the newspaper saying the island was for sale. The price was around £60,000 or £70,000. I offered £30,000 and said, ‘Take it or leave it.’ They said no. They wanted more. I hung up and said that if they changed their minds, they knew how to find me.”
