He's angry that he can't claim the win, nothing more or less. Who knew geopolitics could be so difficult? And like a child who can't comprehend something, he will pivot his attention to something else entirely and pretend this episode never happened.
I look forward to his "nobody knew this would be so difficult" statement.
Of course, this will be after he's called all of his predecessors fucking morons for not doing things like he does.
Already did that part. Hell he called himself an idiot for the nafta modifications of his first term. Senile narcissist is stupid af more for the next 3y(at least).
I wouldn't get my hopes up. I expect a "Mission Accomplished" press conference that will put Dubya to shame.
He promised something that wasn't his to give. Then did the absurdly naive and ill-informed decision to attempt to negotiate with Putin by assuming against overwhelming evidence that Putin respects him and that he'd act out of good faith if he approached him in a position of submission and weakness. Now the Russians are taking advantage of it.
I bet Putin "promised" Trump he'd give him that win and now he's just using it as a carrot on a stick to lead him along.
Aaaaaaall of this is just misdirection.
He doesn't care about Ukraine or Russia, even Greenland or Panama.
Trump is there to dismantle the American government for his billionaire buddies. That is the job they hired him to do.
Elon Musk and Peter Thiel very openly subscribed to Curtis Yarvins world view, and he very openly describes how to dismantle government, and now they are doing it.
That is what the Heritage Foundation and project2025 is all about. You can track their progress here www.project2025.observer
There’s a high chance Greenland is a part of that. I think one of those billionaires (whichever one founded Praxis) asked Trump to buy Greenland so he can terraform it and set up his country there. There is a source for it somewhere at www.theplotagainstamerica.com
It’s astounding that he honestly believed he could end the war in 24 hours. He’s really that stupid.
No, that helped him get elected, he didnt have to believe it, same as everything he does
We really need to stop calling it "brokering peace". Trump just wants Ukraine to give Putin what he wants.
Trump still thinks it's a card game
It's easy to hold all the cards when no one else is playing games
Art of the deal!
*Which he never wrote in the first place
Trump is so thirsty for a Nobel Peace Prize it’s pathetic. Fortunately, he’s never going to get one.
He’ll just threaten to invade Sweden unless they give him the peace prize.
Actually, the peace price is decided by a committee in Norway.
I feel like this would not stop him from threatening Sweden, though.
Or Nobel, he doesn't know Nobel is not a country
When someone informs him it's named after a person he will demand that this domestic terrorist be brought in for impeachment and deported, not understanding why none of that makes sense
As a Norwegian I am reminded of our "reply" to the American first slogan.
We are OK with Norway fourth or even fifth, but Sweden LAST!
Do you think he knows that though?
He's after swiss chocolate and gold
If only someone had told him that Putin doesn't negotiate in good faith.
Oh wait, that's precisely what Zelensky was trying to fucking say before the idiot of a VP that Trump has started dicking around in front of the cameras.
Getting a taste of his own medicine is he?
Ah well, maybe he'll learn someth... lol
I couldn't even finish the thought without laughing.
Boss baby playing government
Edit: the people that take this asshole at his word and seriously are the same chode jugglers who nod continuously at every company all-hands
Maybe he'll get so angry he'll have an aneurysm and die? There's not many people whose death would undoubtably improve the world, but he's one of them.
There's an old Soviet joke; a man goes to the newspaper stand everyday picks up a paper reads the headlines on the front page and leaves. This happens for a few weeks then finally the salesman asks, "Comrade, why do you only read the front page?" The guy says, "I'm just looking for an obituary." The salesman says, "Those are in the back of the newspaper." "Not the one I'm looking for."
I’m hoping he’ll finally get angry at Putin and put actual American troops on the ground
TFW you pour gasoline over the fire but it just won't go out.
He's mad that he doesn't hold all the cards after making a pikachu face when putin attack after saying he aint gonna attack.
What a fucking moron.
He'll pretend to be angry and then just give Putin what he wants.
I don't get why he cares.
Does he just want to have Ukraine publicly thank him?
Or did he promise the minerals from Ukraine to Elon?
He doesn’t caaaaaarrreeee!
I guarantee you someone asked how he felt of random subject. He parses the answer by how it effects him and wraps it in the same bull shit he has always said.
Master negotiator, 4D chess, stable genius; what a fucking joke.
He wants a Nobel Peace prize, because Obama has one…
To be fair, I'm not sure what Obama did to deserve this...
Afaik big part of the prize is to actually encourage peace. If you're given the prize for "best potato peeler in the world" you'll probably peel more potatoes or train people and promote potato peeling in general.
Trump never got over the 2011 correspondence dinner where he made fun of trump
Maybe he should tariff both countries - that’s always the answer 🙄 What did you think if you have an idiot-in-chief 🤔
Clearly Ukraine needs to set a tariff on Russian missiles and drones.
/s
probably want ukraine to stop defending themselves and allow russia to just seize the whole of ukraine , it's a shame where america is , they are the same as the russians.
Good. Collapse already.
Trump finally starting to realize Putin has no respect for them and their relationship is far more onesided than he ever feared it might be.
No no bro its all Zelenskys fault /s
He isn't realising shit.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
