PUTIN'S RESPONSE TO TRUMP'S THREAT TO STOP BOMBINGS OF UKRAINE CIVILIANS OR FACE SANCTIONS:
When President Donald Trump was reminded in an interview with Time magazine this week that he had said he would end the Russian war on Ukraine on “day one,” he claimed he hadn’t been speaking literally or seriously.
“Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point, and you know, it gets, of course, by the fake news [unintelligible]. Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended,” Trump said, according to Time's transcript.
This “in jest” claim is a lie.
On the campaign trail in 2023 and 2024, Trump said on dozens of occasions, in an entirely serious tone, manner and context, that he would end the war in Ukraine either within 24 hours of his return to the White House or even sooner than that. He said over and over again, including at both presidential debates of 2024, that he would have the war “settled” when he was president-elect, before his inauguration.
A Friday search of the Roll Call Factba.se database that catalogues Trump’s public remarks turned up at least 53 examples of Trump making such comments.
It’s sometimes hard to determine the intent of a politician’s one-time ad-libs, but this was no jovial ad-lib. Rather, the promise of a rapid end to the war was a sober staple of Trump’s pre-written rally remarks. He framed the promise as a key component of his second-term agenda, and he justified it with claims about his “credibility” as a leader, his history as a “peacemaker,” and his knowledge of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Trump sometimes emphasized that he was speaking literally, scoffing at critics who said he couldn’t end the war that fast. “I’ll get that done within 24 hours. Everyone says, ‘Oh, no, you can’t.’ Absolutely I can. Absolutely I can,” he sid at one July 2023 rally in Iowa. He said at a Pennsylvania rally later that month: “Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after we all together win the presidency, we will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. It will be settled. The war is going to be settled. I’ll get them both – I know Zelensky, I know Putin, it’ll be done within 24 hours, you watch. They all say, ‘That’s such a boast.’ It will be done very quickly.”
Here are the 53 examples. There might well be more; this isn’t intended as an exhaustive list.

“Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, I will have the disastrous war between Russia and Ukraine settled. It will be settled quickly. Quickly. I will get the problem solved and I will get it solved in rapid order and it will take me no longer than one day. I know exactly what to say to each of them.”

Kamala, " Putin will eat you for lunch."
It was not about liking Harris it was about doing what was best for the United States of America. It is sad that the American voter is gullible.
Trump wants to end the Department of Education has it occurred to the Trumpers that as a result more people are going to need government assistance. As it was the percentage of people that took advantage of an education was low can you imagine now. Then again that is the goal.
Here in the Valley some still continue to eat Trump's BS sourdough sandwich. Por eso estamos como estamos. That is why we can't have nice things.
Trump is a colossal failure. He can't stop the Ukrainian or Gaza conflicts like he said. He is too busy promoting his golf course in Scotland at taxpayer
expense. He is too preoccupied worrying about how to cover-up his past
pedophile history. Too busy suing anyone that disagrees with his senile
stances. The "financial genius" is hurting our nation on a gargantuan level.
Our allies want nothing to do with us and Russia laughs as we spiral downward on the world stage. But let's blame Biden.
The Ukraine war started on February 24, 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. This was during Biden’s watch. Why didn’t Biden make an attempt to keep the war from even starting? But yet you want Trump to end it now. This is not our war. If Trump can get another win by ending this war great. It doesn’t matter much since he won’t get credit for it either.
India says - get lost 🌮, we will wait you out, Epstein files, coming soon
And if you hadn't forgotten already, billions in student loans are being entrenched in foolish young people's lives looking to student loans as an allowance from Uncle Sam.
Their rich uncle came along and gave them CASH.
What a SHOT IN THE ARM.
All the student has to donis sign up for college.
If the courses are too hard they can take easier ones too.
God Bless America
We were worse with Biden. So stop bitchin.
Exactly! It would not matter one bit. These people hate Trump no matter what he does.
As if Biden should have been babysitting Putin. According to some of you Biden is brain dead.
Your ignorance is 😂 hilarious.
Disinhibition will be the order of the day in Donald Trump’s America.
"Cabeza frÃa, temple y defensa con firmeza" ha funcionado frente a aranceles de Trump: Sheinbaum
La presidenta informó que se mantendrá el TMEC y que esto “no implicó ninguna acción adicional por parte de México”, además, aseguró que se mantendrá la mesa de diálogo bilateral.
8:22 Trump shouldn't make promises he doesn't intend to keep. 90 trade deals in 90 days. No payroll taxes. No taxes on overtime. Release the Epstein files. No new wars. Tariffs won't increase prices. This came directly from Trump, no one else. Orange blob is a complete loser.
If you don't pass the classes you stop getting financial help. Uncle Sam has never been stupid.
Delia, just because I don't agree with Trump grabbing defenseless women by the pussy doesn't mean I hate him
Hate is too strong a word.
I know and understand that to some women getting grabbed by the genitals is impressive but not to me. To some women that is the only way they get attention and it is all they have to offer but no thank you.
We were not worse under Biden.
Yes, President Trump has signed an executive order to begin dismantling the Department of Education, aiming to transfer its functions to state and local governments. However, fully abolishing the department has not been approved by congress. So let’s not jump the gun.
You forget the shit you were eating when Biden was in office. He fed you morons nothing but lies and made himself and other democratic politicians rich. And if you think you better off under the Biden administration you were probably one of the many beggars surviving under one of the many wasteful social service programs.
Biden promised to make himself and his family wealthy from tax payer money and he kept his promise. But he failed in his promise to not pardon his son and entire family. As for no new wars, all wars currently being fought were started under the Biden administration. People need to learn to give credit where credit is due regardless as to their political affiliation. Trump has done more in the few months he's been in office than Obama and Biden combined. Fact!
8:09 Trump is the only one stupid enough to do the bidding of Netanyahu.
That "conflict" is not over. Trump sodomizes you and you say, " thank you sir,
may I have another?" Te gusta el pedo del pedophile.

Thank you for stating what I think.

You are wrong. There are people who do not qualify for the handout and do not support Trump. You are tripping...
