Shocking.

I for one thought Trump really would end the Ukraine on day 1 with a single phone call...

(Trumpers are ---- idiots)

He just needs to sit them down in a room and make a deal. He's good at deals. Right? I read that somewhere.

MAGAts on this site actually claimed Putin was afraid of the portly orange pissant. Lol

I doubt Putin finds Trump in any way intimidating.
At least Oleg Popov (en.wikipedia.org(cropped).jpg) knew he was a clown.

Trump has been a born Lewzer all of his life, tripping over his own inflated ------- (ego) at every turn.

I'm surprised Mr. Putin didn't read the manual before trusting Trump to stick to the

Putin has no meed to fear Trump; he's murdering Ukrainians not Americans. Were I Putin I would fear Zelensky who has led his military to surprise Russians on many occasions. If Zelensky and his military get a chance I think they will kill that SOB and Ukraine will celebrate his death for 100 years! It's the only possible end to this war because psycho Putin thinks he is on some vrusade to restore Russia as a super power but the war with Ukraine has shown the world that they aren't even close to super power status.

Putin knows that Trump just needs to be perceived as tough here at home. ----, it might even be Putin's idea. Vlad knows how to play a long game.
