Does VP Musk knows about it and that it will upset Putin?
This would hurt the feelings of his butt buddy, Putin. Highly doubtful.
Won’t that upset his base? You know, the ones that said DT is a peaceful dove while the blood thirsty democrats want to sacrifice all of Ukraine for profit. Or will that claim go away like the rampant fraud claims?
Donald Trump’s base supports him because he’s Donald Trump. Any individual decision or issue is inconsequential and probably not even noticeable, as long as he stays roughly the same person.
I guess what I’m saying is, don’t attribute a fixed self-consistent platform to those guys.
I wish you were wrong
One of the few guys who lies more than a politician.
At least we can point to these conversations when he inevitably changes his mind when putin drops a giant pile of Rubles on his desk or threatens him with blackmail.
(X) Doubt
Yeah, we’ll believe it when we see it with Trump, but this is promising.
Are you kidding … who the hell can take his word about anything.
We’re better off to turn off these dumb announcements and pay no attention to anything he says because either it doesn’t make sense, its stupid, its a lie or he doesn’t mean what he says
Keep watching the news to listen to what everyone else is saying but when it comes to US government, don’t bother taking it to mean anything.
Yeah, just pay attention to what he does. What he says is close to useless.
I’m sorry. I didn’t vote for this.
So that definitely means his administration will not continue military support, because that man is the biggest liar in history.
Somehow I don’t believe him. Probably due to his track record of doing the right thing along with standing up to Russian aggression and interference.
This is his way to tell Putin he wants more money and anther wife
I have my doubts about this.
We all do, and even if it’s true, expect a caveat
Ah yes. The caveat.
“I will continue support…for a price! MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!”
Should we be worried that it’s entirely plausible to give our next/previous president an evil laugh, and it reasonably fits him?
I mean the price part is already built in. A lot of the “aid” Ukraine is getting is lend lease style stuff that they’ll be paying through the nose for later IIRC.
“we need you to do us a favour though”
I mean, you literally just described the exact scenario that led to his first impeachment.
Support for what?
Didn’t he say he’ll end the war within 24 hours?
My guess is that some advisor told him to say this. If you are very publicly not in favor of continuing support for Ukraine, that really reduces your ability to negotiate a good deal. There has to be the threat of continued or increased support if the Russians don’t agree to terms. Whether this is believable is another question.
Good news for the “won’t be any wars under Trump” folks
Hmmm, Trump saying some sane stuff? Elmo is saying he supports AfD? Sounds they are already starting the “passing of the republican torch” process.
Next Year:
He also says he now expects Europe to spend 5% of its GDP on defense. So, yeah, we will see.
I find this difficult to believe. I am assuming he was either lying or this was an off the cuff statement that wasn’t serious.
