REPORTER: You said on social media that Russia is pounding Ukraine. Why not provide Ukraine with air defenses? TRUMP: Because I have to know that they want to settle. We want them to settle.

What's with the seated Q&A all the time? Is this new? Can he not stand for long? Also, what happened to Dumb Jnr and Dumber this time around, it seems they're nowhere to be seen (thankfully)

When you realize that these people wouldn't give a shit if 90% of the US population straight up died, as long as they are completely in control of the remaining 10% - it all kinda starts to make sense... We have a word for this. Evil....

YKW ? Since trump & putin are such good f*ckin' pals, and trump seems to be so hellbent on getting this all settled, maybe he could suggest that putin, has Russia stop attacking the Ukraine ! Instead of nudging Pres Zelenskyy to merely surrender, after defending what's his, for the last 3 yrs !

Pretty sure the only peace deal they will entertain is one that includes full expulsion of the Russians and all borders restored to their pre-2014 state.

I think journalists should just stop asking him questions. It's not like they challenge him on anything he says, ever. He's a terrorist. A domestic terrorist and needs to be treated as one. He's evil to his core and that's not changing.

Basically, give up what I said to give up and install a far-right Russian loyalist or we aren’t going to “help” you give us your minerals and Putin your country. I would keep fighting, any if Trumps options they will be screwed.

He's a moron. Why don't his "advisors" tell him that the lie about how much money America and Europe have put into Ukraine is easily disproven - and has been (frequently) - even the heads of European countries have told him directly, that America has contributed less than Europe.

Lying is his major form of communication. He does it naturally, without concern about the consequences of his lies. Telling him the truth does nothing to sway him, because he does not GAF about what is true.

February 2022, Congress has approved approximately $183 billion in aid to Ukraine. Of this total, the Pentagon has provided Ukraine with military assistance amounting to $65.9 billion. An additional $3.9 billion in military aid authorized by Congress remains unspent. /1

Furthermore, about $58 billion of the $183 billion total was spent within the United States. These funds were directed towards strengthening the U.S. defense industry, either through replenishment of military stockpiles following the transfer of older equipment to Ukraine /2

Trump's Peace in Ukraine means subjegating the citizenry to more loss of land, self-respect, human rights; more rape, torture, imprisonment, and death. Russia will not be kind after experiencing so much loss. See: The Holodomor. Who would "settle" for this - Ukraine should not sign any deal.

Trump says Putin launching massive strike on Ukraine is ‘what anybody would do’ "Whenever I mug a school kid for his sandwich, I always come back later to take his fruit snack - it's what you do, it's completely expected" Trump added www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm no Trump supporter but at least what comes out of his mouth is truth. It's all about money and deals. Give me what I want ... or else I will bomb, sanction or ignore you. Gaza has no leader in this game and that hurts my soul

You're walking down the street and you see someone getting the shit kicked out of them. You recognize the victim as a friend of yours. And he asks for help. While you watch this, someone asks, "Why don't you help?". You answer, "I need this guy to say he wants to give us his wallet first."

Heres what they will “settle” for: All the territory back that Russia is occupying over the last 3 years, including Crimea. Restitution for damages done and help to rebuild. You can throw in, removing Putin and charging him with war crimes for good measure. Pretty simple and clear really.

Why are people asking Trump anything at all? His actions are fairly obvious and have been telegraphed. The real answer is one that everyone knows. He is under Putin's thumb. Why do they keep asking the obvious. When has talking to a fascist dictator ever accomplished anything?

He’s got no idea what he’s doing. EVERY UKRAINIAN & RUSSIAN DEATH HAPPENING NOW CAN BE BLAMED ON #DopeyDon Ending a war is not the same as a business deal & remember he has had a large number of failed businesses, which he then filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying debts - to US businesses.

Complete bullshit! He could give Ukraine back intelligence sharing. Trump could just release the money already appropriated for Ukraine from 2024. He could tell Putin to leave Ukraine alone. What has Putin done to show he wants peace?

“Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely “pounding” Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia.” “Did I say that? I didn’t say that.” “I have to distract them from the Stock Market and Jobs for February.” SAD!

Ok now we know(“way down the line is the money”) means that what’s really behind #47’s betrayal of Ukrainians is the opportunity he’s seizing to extort Ukraine withholding support making demands they agree to deal or he’s out. Spoken like a true mafia boss. Double whammy he’s with Putin.

Well, you won't get a better example of Trump's style of 'making deals'. It's not so much bargaining and agreement as it is extortion and coercion. He's done it all his life to people he's signed contracts with, and now he does it with our allies.
