“When Donald Trump met President Zelensky in New York last September, the then US presidential candidate exuded confidence he could bring the war in Ukraine to an early end. “If we win, I think we’re going to get it resolved very quickly,” he said.
How quickly he meant varied over time. In a TV debate a few days earlier, Trump had promised he would “get it settled before I even become president”. This was an escalation on his previous commitment in May 2023 to stop the fighting in the first 24 hours of his presidency.
Trump has now been in office for more than two months and the penny may be beginning to drop in the White House that trying to end a conflict as bitter and complex as this may take time.”
First of all, he completely underestimated the problem. He thought he could just tell Zelenskyy to stop and the war would be over.
Second, as he is obeying the commands of Putin, he simply wants Ukraine to surrender, completely disregarding that Russia is the aggressor here, and their role in crimes of war and crimes against humanity.
If he had any clue about striking deals, he would be aware that telling one party to just roll over and die is not a successful strategy.
Is it because he’s a shit businessman, negotiator, president, leader, human etc
Well he did bankrupted his casinos. His only talent is acting/showmanship on a reality TV show and bankrupting his own companies.
His only talent id say is somehow brainwashing a crowd of people in to thinking his has the same beliefs and values as they do.
Yea, He is a good conman, conned banks and investors to trust him with investment and loans.
Because hes a russian stooge ?
That’s MAGA’s traitor in chief Krasnov, yes.
probably because his idea of a ceasefire would end in complete Ukrainian genocide.
It should come as a surprise to nobody that a complete unwillingness to have something come to an end is quite a barrier to said thing coming to an end.
That mixed with incompetence, even if he wanted the cash cow that is the illegal invasion of Ukraine to end, he’s not intelligent enough to navigate that.
Is it incompetence? Or only thinking about himself? Or not really even caring? So many options to choose from
As far as I can see, he says words and then more words and you know the best words but none of them that actually mean anything to him. So all his boasting about ending that war were as full of meaning as he expected them to be which was nothing
