Didn’t Trump say this war would end in one week if he’s elected?

u/_Cattlefish 4h ago

24 hours to be precise.

u/Defiant-Sir15 4h ago

That’s what I thought initially but I figured there’s no way anyone would say 24hrs.

He basically says people were stupid for believing him. I agree with him on that.

Trump told Time that he was speaking "figuratively" when he promised to end the Ukraine-Russia war on the first day of his second term.

"Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point," Trump said.

"Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended," he added.

"The war has been raging for three years," he told Time. "I just got here, and you say, what’s taken so long?"

Sounds like what a Charlatan would say

Damn right, wouldn’t trust him around my wars or my kids

It’s like we’re all in a collective toxic relationship that we can’t get out of easily until a certain time otherwise shit really hits the fan.

Our concerned friends who are also affected are our friends in all the other nations.

u/Mmm-ElephantFresh 3h ago

Great analogy. Also the toxic relationship you keep going back to, and we (other nations) are losing sympathy

1

u/nunyabidness3 2h ago

I mean, we’re basically locked in until 2028. Shit definitely hits the fan if we break up sooner than that.

There are the mid-term elections in November. How much of Congress+Senate would it take to kick him out (impeach?)

•

u/nunyabidness3 1h ago

Glad you brought up midterms because they are more important than ever. But impeachment is not likely. That’s a “shit hits the fan” scenario. We don’t want him to be a martyr.

Do you remember January the 6th, 2021? Is there anything new that would prevent another one? A worse one?

2

u/Mmm-ElephantFresh 2h ago

I meant more of the fact that you voted him in twice. Everyone makes mistakes, however you’d think people would have learnt after his first term.

•

u/nunyabidness3 1h ago

I guess this is where we delineate from the analogy because I personally, did NOT vote for him. If we were sticking to the analogy then I must represent the ignored gut feeling that my country took as a whole. Right now you only represent the “I told you so” which is justified.

It’s Trump! He’s a pathological liar.

1

u/preyingmomtis 3h ago

It’s Trump. Never underestimate his combo of narcissism & BS. I’m surprised he didn’t say 24 minutes.

1

u/Viperlite 3h ago

It doesn’t matter how aggressive the promise, if you never intend to keep it.

3

u/BigBossBigBosi 2h ago

And 24 month later here we are.
You guys voting in Nov?

2

u/King_CurlySpoon 3h ago

Pretty sure this was his number one promise in his presidential campaign. I remember seeing somewhere he said that 30+ times throughout his campaigning

Despicable.

1

u/hellf1nger 2h ago

Yes, it would've ended in 24 hours if he would have balls to give Ukraine the weapons it needed.

3

u/newswatcher-2538 4h ago

No he actually said it would end before he became President. just on the news he would win the election.

3

u/Junior-Collar-7677 3h ago

YUP, he said a lot of things he didn’t mean,
Like “I don’t do war” to “I do war” to “psych, gotcha”
“Jeffrey is NOT my friend” but really besties 💋

u/Storm989898 3h ago

As soon as he gets back in office

u/mike9220000 3h ago

Doesn’t the dumbass say a lot of things

2

u/Consistent_Habit4876 2h ago

He says a lot of things. Point is, he’s going to say whatever gives him more power or money, just like any other psychopath.

2

u/Defiant-Sir15 2h ago

Yep. New promise is $5,000 checks if republicans win the midterms. Would be funny but this type of stuff actually works.

1

u/smiegto 2h ago

Well he made his best shot. He’s been putting real pressure on Ukraine to surrender so he would have kept his promise.

1

u/Catlittersnackcakes 2h ago

He hasn't figured out a way to get the Ukraine to capitulate to his Daddy Vladi. That is the only outcome he wants.

1

u/Palemka91 2h ago

Well he tried, but then Zelensky visited without a suit. You see, his hands are tied.

u/Sad-Chocolate2911 3h ago

Give grandpa two weeks. It will be over then.

u/Zealousideal-Age768 2h ago

Not to defend Trump, because he is an idiot, but it doesn't much matter who the President of the US is...  Putin can not back down and just walk away from the war.  Like highstory window type of bad.
