The best case scenario is that Trump really was such a moron as to believe Putin wanted peace and now feels betrayed and does a 180 on Ukraine policy. Much more likely he will stay the course on screwing Ukraine.
I think it’s less of “Putin wanted peace”, but that “Putin is amenable to peace if he gets everything he wants”, which might have even been true before the Russian economy got so wrecked that stopping the war would crash it.
It is just time to play both sides and make it out like DT is reasonable. He has done nothing to reign in Russia and I highly doubt he would do anything but a symbolic gesture.
This is just a White House propaganda piece. Make people doubt his allegiance to Russia. A big waste of our time, but that appears to be the point.
Propaganda is useful. It might be wrong, but there is a specific reason they’re saying it.
They were even spared from the “universal” tariffs lmao
I admire the take that Trump is able to realize stuff.
But I’m not very hopefull
He’ll forget in day and believe Putin again
I kinda think it’s a game. Putin told trump to say it so they can act like they’re not in bed together
This is my 2 cents on it as well.

Trump is such a fucking gullible, demented moron. The only people dumber than him are the people that voted for him.
Yeah, but Zelenskyy didn’t wear a suit or thank trump himself publicly for the hundredth time, so I’m sure trump is still team Putin.
So when Putin says “I love you” after Trump sucks his dick, he’s lying?
It’s hard to tell when, instead of kissing him on the lips, he throws a towel at his face
Macron hasn’t realised Trump is lying to him
Is he talking about the actual US President Donald Trump?
I don’t think he has the mental capacity to realize anything
this is strategic. By appealing to his ego, he can tell trump that putin has been lying, while calling trump smart for realizing it instead of calling him gullible for not realizing it.
Ah, and he won’t be able to realize that either.
But I have a feeling when more countries with well respected leaders say the same thing, and state the same thing to appeal to his ego, it will further cement the idea in Trump’s mind, that Putin “cheated him”.
I don’t have high expectations, but let’s see how it plays out.
But to be clear, if something else were to remove Trump from being the problem I wouldn’t oppose that either.
lol
Please.
The sole redeeming factor about Trump is being extremely unpredictable. He is a quintessentially ignorant American in that way. No one can reliably control him, he will flip-flop between diametrically opposed positions at will.
Hopefully chaos impersonated will turn on Putin for a while. Hell, if Trump continues to ignore legal precedent he may be able to harm Russia more than Biden ever did.
The sole redeeming factor
yeah I really don’t see this as a redeeming factor but I don’t disagree with the overall premise
Fair, “positive aspect” would’ve been significantly better wording. There’s nothing Trump can do to redeem himself unless he does an inverse John Fetterman.
valid
if Trump continues to ignore legal precedent
Can you really be said to ignore something if you are totally ignorant of its existence?
Anyone who believes this headline is dumber than Trump himself.
I do believe Macron said that. What else is the headline stating?
“I believe that President Trump has realised that when President Putin told him he was ready for peace, he was lying,” Macron emphasised
Considering how all of MAGA played 2020 ( they downright knew the facade the whole time) There’s not a doubt Trump knew what was going on. He may play a dumb American but there’s just no way trump just realized this. He’s known it all along just like 2020.
He’s not a complete idiot, but he has very little knowledge, which in many situations is almost the same thing. However, I wouldn’t underestimate his daddy issues. Even a highly intelligent person (which he definitely is not) can fall to inner biases, and I wouldn’t put it past dictators to fit neatly into the hole in his heart from never receiving papa’s love.
Yeah that’s a bit of a slap in the face really.
