Donald Trump has said it may be better to let Ukraine and Russia “fight for a while” rather than pursue peace immediately, as the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, urged him to increase pressure on Russia.
During the Oval Office meeting, Trump voiced doubts about the potential success of peace talks, saying “sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart”.
The US president said he had told Vladimir Putin that the two countries were like “two young children fighting like crazy in a park” when the two spoke by phone on Wednesday.
I’m confused, I thought he ended it?
No, he did. Just that Zelensky does not want it to end. Putin does want it to end it. But Trump ended it. Amazingly. And for sure. 100%. Like the golf ball that… that hits a plane and. You never know. It is uneblievable that it had happened. Biden became a robot.
I heard that Zelensky tried to punch Trump in the face when Trump just wanted peace, and Zelensky said “NO ONLY WAR”. Then everybody clapped and Fred Trump told him he was proud of him.
Just letting you know, I appreciate the subtle ways this comment combines Trump’s characteristic dementia-addled “weave,” and our utter and complete exhaustion from it. You’ve made one art.
For a second there, I missed the sarcasm.
