... Trump, who met with Ukraine's leader at the United Nations earlier on Tuesday, has previously said that both Kyiv and Moscow would have to cede land to end the war.

"With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

In the post, Trump criticized Russia's prosecution of the war, saying it had been fighting "aimlessly" in a war that a "real military power" would have won in "less than a week."

"Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act," the post continues.
Trump said the U.S. will continue to supply weapons to NATO "for NATO to do what they want with them." ...

Dummkopf Trumpf continues to buy time for Vladimir Putin. His announcements are all kabuki theater. When/if Russia invades the Baltics, is there anyone on the planet that thinks Trumpf is going to intervene with US forces?

If Cold War anti-Russian GOP hawks in both houses of congress didn't push for arming Ukraine in appropriations bills, Dummkopf Trumpf would have stopped all funding to Ukraine, but the GOP is not as homogenized as Trumpf would like. One AI overview:

"In April 2025, a Pew Research survey found that 40% of Republicans view Russia as an enemy, down from 58% the previous year, indicating a shift in opinion but not a clear count of anti-Russian. In the 119th Congress (2025"2026), 41 Republican senators co-sponsored the "Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025," signaling strong anti-Russian sentiment among these members."

".... this is the time for Ukraine to act,"

This is WAY past time for you to act, F- Face!

But he's WAY too busy turning American media into a Putinesque propaganda machine.

And turning the DOJ into his personal vengeance machine.
