Five days before his 100th day in office, President Trump is frustrated his efforts to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine have so far fallen short, and has privately told advisers that mediating a deal has been more difficult than he anticipated, sources told CNN.
Trump may already be tired of so much “winning.”
I think had he stood his ground and held Putin accountable he would have been a lot further along on the road to peace. Instead he chose to reward Putin, blame the victim and plunder Ukraine along the way .... not sure how this will work out for him in the long run.
Did the man think he could end the war by humiliating Zelenskyy, withdrawing aide, and promising everything to Putin? He is just clueless.
He wasn't counting on the rest of the world stepping up. He really thought if he did those things, Ukraine would be forced into surrender.
What not even a concept?
Day one…hundred and this “deal” still isn’t going to be done.
It’s not more difficult than anticipated, he is more of an idiot than anticipated.
So, did Trump REALLY think Ukraine was gonna surrender to Putin, just because Our Dear Leader and that worthless JD demanded Zelensky to fold (and say thank you.)
Wow. It's almost as if he overestimated his own ability.
Practically everyone other the Trump knew that
When a brain dies is called "Trump brain" in medicine.
Perhaps he’s going about it the wrong way… 🤔
You think? He said he would solve the Ukraine War on Day 1 or even before he re-took office. Just another marketing lie.
The SOB thought he would humiliate Zelensky into surrendering to Putin and he refused. There. I fixed it.
Everything is more difficult than he anticipated. No shock to the rest of us. This is what happens when you are an idiot and don't understand anything.
Ahhhh .. Putin didn't take the phone call. Wonder why?
His dreams of Nobel Peace Prize to shove in Obama face shattered 🙄 Some countries get the leaders they deserve
No, I do not accept him.
Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that he could end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours if he were re-elected president. President for 94 days already ... Maybe it's just time to admit he blustered and admit he can't
Ukrainians know he is a lack stabbing dollip of pus that has gone bad. Russia doesn't even listen to him.
He’s a loser
Why does CNN continue to cover for him? He’s incompetent and not qualified for the job.
Just like when he said no one could have known healthcare was so complicated. We all knew.
No shit?
Why aren't you, and all the other media outlets, pointing out to Trump, that Putin hates Jews?
“I alone can fix it”
art of the deal, baby!
Trump wants to reward the aggressor by letting his boss keep the invaded lands. Like he pardoned the Jan 6th criminals he rewards violence. This is now representing USA a place where violence & rape are rewarded by those in power.
what effort-that's a joke-you actually have to get russia to offer concessions & stop bombing innocent civilians/hospitals/schools which putin will not agree to--his deal is ukraine giving up everything to russia which they have been courageously fighting against for 3 years-NATO should embrace them
Because he is a fool!
He doesn't understand one bit why Putin would risk his country for Ukraine. Or why someone would risk their life for a cause. Putin believes in what he's doing, as aweful and wrong as it is. It's not a "transaction", which is all Trump understands.
I thought Mr. Trump said he would end the war in the first day of his term.
Talk about a guy with no understanding of diplomacy and geopolitics.
I don't believe Trump ever has moments when he concedes he's done something badly.
its all aways someone elses fault never its
Narcissists cannot bear to be seen as not perfect. It's terribly hard for them when anyone points out they've made a mistake. No-one should go into politics or marriage or parenthood if they have that flaw.
but that is their biggest fault they don't see it because they cant even when its pointed out to them when it is pointed out to them they stand there open mouth looking dumb as
My experience (and I have a lot) is absolute fury, the kind of anger that's unhinged
try and look at it like they are goading you into it and getting the reaction they want
you're right... I began to 'dead-bat' the goading and then slowly move out of their orbit... but narcissism is a terrible psychiatric injury, narcissists are cursed by it and then everyone around them is cursed because of it
try swaping in some laughing instead of dead bat. a short sharp laugh and walk off but only with ones you know your safe with
lol poor lad
Handing Ukraine to Putin has proven harder than he thought
Ironically, of all the things Trump promised to do on Day 1, ending the Ukraine-Russia war was something I thought he might actually do because of his close allegiance to Russia. Looks like even in that close relationship, he’s the patsy.
The truth is that Trump is NOT a good negotiator, he is simply a bully and only then when his opponent is smaller, he can use OUR money, and OUR allies. People think he is good negotiator because he told them he is but actions mean more than the same OLD TRUMP LIES & CONS. Shame on Republicans!
Stevie Wonder could have seen this.
Maybe he's a failure at everything he does and has never had a good idea. Just a thought.
He's so incompetent. As if Putin was going to bow down to him. He criticizes Mr. Zelensky when it is Russia that is the invader. He does not know what pride and dignity are. He is a shame.
No deal, just demanding Ukraine give felon47 and the gremlin putin whatever they want. Tell the truth cnn
Dumbass doesn’t know how anything works
But it’s SO EASY he could do it in a day! Fucking idiot.
DUH....REALLY?
The only word i thought was Duh
D isn't the negotiator he claims to be. That's the simple truth. He cannot broker the big deals because he has a very limited understanding of the world as one born to privilege who surrounds himself with sycophants. And he doesn't read. Nor does he learn from history. He remains a chaos agent only.
huh, who woulda thunk it??
It was completely misguided to believe that Trump’s negotiation and deal-making abilities could offer any meaningful value in addressing a complex, multi-faceted international conflict like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Who would have thought this man could not broker peace? I mean, he was so successful replacing the ACA with a "better" plan during his first administration. 🫤
But eggs cost less in Russia now ... so small win, right?
He criticized Biden saying North Carolina needed help after the hurricane last year...he hasn't done anything, they are still struggling. Now he wants to sell parts of Ukraine to Putin..or else!
Sure say he would stop it on day one?
What? He expected to be able to get away with calling Ukraine the aggressor, forcing them to give up territory and then not be able to join NATO? What a deal.
What happened to “I’ll fix it in one day before even inauguration”?
I know it's hared to believe, but that was a lie.
Would it have been too fucking confusing to just write `95th day`‽
Hopefully he’s soon dead
Meanwhile the entire #Civilised #FreeWorld recognises #DonaldTrump for what he actually, really is #PutinsWhore
He’s garbage
So the war in Ukraine goes into the "Promises NOT kept" column?
From “I will end this war in 24h” to pleading “Vladimir, Stop”. Negotiator my ass. Degenerate.
"Efforts"?
More difficult than his plan to end the war on day one that the media rarely challenged?
He has no clue what is going on except wanting to give Ukraine over to Putin & President Zelensky isn’t having it! He don’t know crap, Mr I’ll stop the war on day one. Tell everyone that has given their lives since his return to office & all those beautiful buildings.
24 hours 🙄
Dumbass.
Such a clown.
There is no art in negotiating a one sided deal. What a biased and pathetic effort from the USA.
Art of the deal! 🤣 Trump is a loser that has no right trying to sell out Ukraine!
He did nothing except word salad.
"his efforts"...?! There are no efforts! He just sits in the limelight and talks shit.
If I remember correctly, he said that on day one he would end this…guess that he was wrong…again.😡😡😡😡🤢🤮
Fucking idiots gonna fuckin' idiot.
He’s such a stool
A loser from day one and still a loser but a convicted one.
the idiot strike avait
again pas avait
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Oh, being President is a hard job? Who could have imagined?
Cause he wants his way or the highway. Where’s his “first day in office”settlement. Right up there with reducing food prices I presume.
"and has privately told advisers that mediating a deal has been more difficult than he anticipated" That is because he is not trying to mediate. He is trying to force Ukraine to surrender.
Not as frustrated as we are 😡
The easy way to end the war is to give Ukraine all the weapons it needs to fight back against Russia
This from Mr “I alone can fix it!”
What is he even worried about? No one actually thought he was capable of doing it.
So it’s taking longer than 24 hours and Russia has made exactly zero concessions?
What a putz
The smooth-brained, narcissistic dementia patient can't handle complex peace talks? *Gasp* shocker!
What happened to ending the war in day 1?
Licking Putin's bolls
"more difficult than he anticipated..." lol
“I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV.” <— How does he think Ukrainians feel about it, or is it only about Trump? “Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying.”<— Is it because Ukraine is defending itself? Whose fault is it? If it’s Russia then why blame and stop Ukrainian aid?
A sad puppet of Putin!
No shit sherlock
President braggadocious over promised and under delivered? Who would have thought?
Well, we still have DOGE and the border crisis. It’s only been 100 days and people gave Biden more time work on his agenda. Trump still has until Jan 20th 2029.
And that's a shame
Marches and rallies do nothing if the people, that participated in them, can’t articulate, in a normal conversation, why people should agree with their agenda. People vote alone at the polls. Get better at selling your agenda. Sell the policies of your candidate.
you see, i can agree with this. the left does need to articulate a coherent agenda to counter trump. however, it does not change the fact that trump is moron and has no clue wtf he's doing.
Unlike the world economy
Thought it would be as easy to stop a war as it is to screw small business contractors out of their due or hardcore MAGA followers out of their hard earned dollars. Who would have thought?
Trump's problem with becoming a dictator like Putin is that Putin does not respond to any one in Russia. Trump has to respond to the American people.
Why? Because he was so ignorant and arrogant to think he was going to be able to end the war in 24 hours. And he holds a grudge on Zelensky since he wouldn't give him the dirt on Biden. Trump is nothing but a POS
But he said he would get it done during the first 24 hours?? He lied???
Does anyone really believe that the orange felon knows how to “think” about anything except how to maneuver to get more money?
No shit Sherlock!
Bullshit. He is doing Putins work.
The entire regime has failed BIGLY
Has anyone told Trump yet his mouth is bigger than his brain. He could not and did not end the war in 1 day or get anyone to come to the table about tariffs or save $$ with Doge. It’s obvious now Trump is a failure.
Besides him being a failure of unprecedented proportion...he's also a freakin' maniac. 🥴
Tell that to an idiot that voted for him and they just refuse to acknowledge that they fucked up and that Trump never does anything wrong
He was supposed to have it done before he even took office.
Ukraine will never give in to Trump and allow him to give away 20% of it land to Russia, and the rest of the world now know they can never trust America again, not while Trump is President
Foreign policy is hard, and he doesn’t actually have any intention of doing hard work, so this is the expected outcome. Unfortunately for us and for Ukraine.
He is NOT frustrated - they have LEAKED a fake story that he’s “frustrated” and you shouldn’t fkng publish it like fact. Are you Russia TV???
He said that about Health Care in his first term. He is an ignorant idiot.
Come visit Atlantic City I’ll give you a tour of his failures.
And his "plan" to deport 12m people still has him deporting far fewer per month than Biden did. It's like he has no fucking idea what he's doing.
Because he knows nothing about history, diplomacy, and international negotiation. He’s a foolish clown whose hubris will thwart efforts to resolve any international disputes.
Anyone with a brain could see that all Trump wanted to do was hand over Ukraine to Putin and exhorted minerials deal out of it. Shame on Congress. Shame on America. The rest of the free world is watching.
I would imagine that it's kinda difficult to negotiate when you are deepthroating Putin.
Surprise Surprise
Just like with everything he should be telling his advisers he is a failure once again…. Just saying….
He’s incredibly stupid.
He underestimated the Davos/Mossad Club involved in that front of what they want as A MULTIFRONT WAR !! AT LEAST IT SHOWS WHERE the bad will comes from >> THE RECIPIENT IF 200 BILLION dollars EVAPORATED in the stratosphere or rewired somewhere obvious !!
😂🤣😅 Orange idiot 😅 I knew it the day he said he would bring peace in one day. 😝
Everything for Trump is hard because the way he goes about it. First he looks at what's in it for him, not how best to solve it. This leads to sub-optimal approaches, often fail. We have the example of the deal with the Taliban in Afghanistan. What drove him was the 2020 reelection. How'd that go?
What happened to ending the war in his first 24 hours? Same as Mexico paying for the wall.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine wants to end the war...that pretty much rules out a peace deal... Add to that Europe's coalition of the willing, who it turns out are willing to do pretty much nothing...well they did say today that Ukraine is going to have to manufacture their own weapons...
I also see that the media wants to portray Ukraine's eventual failure as Trumps mishandling...but it really does fall back on a Europe who 'stands with Ukraine'...as they continue to lose...
One said, Kiew will fall in 3 Days. The other said, he will stop the war in 24 hours. Both are criminals.
Really???
Trump: Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is boasting on the front page of The Wall Street Journal that, "Ukraine will not legally recognize the occupation of Crimea. 🧵thread bsky.app/profile/edhi...
The moron fails at everything he does
And I was wondering why he blew right through his self imposed 24 hour deadline?
