President Donald Trump voiced anger Sunday at Russian President Vladimir Putin for comments he made about Ukraine and its president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“If a deal isn’t made, and if I think it was Russia’s fault, I’m going to put secondary sanctions on Russia,” Trump told NBC’s Kristen Welker, adding that there would be “a 25 to 50-point tariff on all oil.”
Russia has effectively rejected a U.S. proposal for an immediate and full 30-day halt in the fighting, and the feasibility of a partial ceasefire on the Black Sea was thrown into doubt after Kremlin negotiators imposed far-reaching conditions.
Well, I’ve lost the plot. When we say he wants no allies left we really mean none huh.
I genuinely think trump believed that he could have stopped the war because of his somewhat positive relationship with Putin during his first term (yes I think he’s that stupid)
I don’t. I think he has two guiding principals: he gets what he wants (by bullying) and the only thing that matters is him.
Truth as other people know it? That’s just another unimportant weakness that others care about which would keep him from what he wants. The only reason he would care about ending the war would be to look good. During the campaign he only said that to get elected. He may have been confident in his bullying abilities but at no point did it matter to him for the sake of the lives at stake.
Yeah you are right but my point is that he most likely thought he could end the war and look like a hero to his fans because he had a somewhat positive relationship with Putin in his first term
