A week from now, he'll blame Ukraine again. Two weeks from now, he'll say it was Biden's fault the Russians invaded Ukraine. Three weeks from now, he'll say it's Obama's fault Ukraine invaded Russia. In a month, he'll say Ukraine belongs to Russia. In six weeks, he'll say he solved the war between Ukraine and Russia and deserves a Nobel Prize.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So it took that dumb fuck 9 months to realize that Putin's the bad guy, Ukraine isn't to blame for being invaded and that Western support could win this war?
Imagine how many lives would have been saved if he'd just listened to every goddamn adult in the previous administration.
You're operating under the assumption that Trump's changed his mind.
When it is far more likely that he's recently just read that on a slip of paper (and probably misunderstood it), so it's just the crap on the top of the stack of crap in his mind and it pops off first.
Some poor bastard had to setup a presentation designed to keep 4 yr olds paying attention and adapt it to trump's narcissist. "Sir, Ukraine is getting stronger, getting more money, and WILL win. Russia is low rent, weak and broke. LOSERS! Back Ukraine and you will not only WIN bigly, but will be known forever as the man who singlehandedly ended this war and saved Europe.
And this would 100% work. On a supposed world leader. 🫠
I think it took 9 months for Putin's checks to stop clearing.
Putin used to pay trump when he helped to launder money. Now he uses the fact that Trump helped him launder money as blackmail.
Honestly, I don't think him making this public would damage Trump at all. The people who would care are already angry about a million other things.
Pretty sure he could say that he knew Putin put the effort forward to get him elected in 2016 because he would be a better help to Russia and would hurt relations with the west and a lot of people would immediately say it was the right thing to do just because he did it.
Maybe they've realized both that and that he doesn't need Putin's money anymore.
Between the two, Putin can now go fuck himself. Trump isn't loyal to anyone and never pays his debts.
When you rake in a few billion off of a state-sponsored crypto scam, apparently you can be financially independent.
Putin's made it clear that Trump doesn't call the shots in their relationship. Trump's ego can't handle that, so now Putin is his enemy. We've been seeing Trump slowly figure this out over the course of the year, starting from him saying he could end the war in, what did he say, a week? He clearly wasn't let in on the invasion plan, either because he can't keep his mouth shut or because Putin thought the war would be over before the election.
Of course, with how senile he's becoming and his probable recent stroke, it's unclear if this will stick or he'll forget about it in a day or two.
what did he say, a week?
24 hours.
He'll charge his mind by the end of the week
Trump is starting to realize that his great personal relationship with Putin doesn’t help at all.
We just gotta convince Trump that he'd be SO COOL if he helped Ukraine win thr war, like SO COOL!
All you have to do is help Ukraine win the war Mr Pedo...err Mr president and people will stop calling you out for being a pedophile!
A child fucker would never help ukraine. Only a cool strong boy would.
TACO Tuesday, folks!
Could flip-flop again tomorrow. Don't believe anything from the regime packed with con-artists and criminal predators until it's signed, sealed, delivered and paid.
Good, but It's never really been up to to him
Win? In his casino? That he ran into the ground?
He's finally figured out there's no way Russia can win this war and he wants to come in and claim all the credit for it when Ukraine wins.
No, it's cause he talked most recently with Zelenskyy.
Once he has a 5 minute conversation with putin, it'll be back to the "Ukraine just needs to stop fighting back and everything will be ok."
Whoever the last person that tells him he's a special boy says, is what he repeats.
Maybe it's just all these years being stuck in this darkest timeline, but all that headline translates to in my mind is "Trump decides Putin is weak enough for him to have a go at re-negotiating his pee-pee tape deal with him". Putin will either push back or fold and when he does then Trump will just "change his mind about Ukraine" again. So to summarise... meh.
Demented credulous fuckwit just repeats the last thing somebody told him.
He wants his name to be in the rubber stamp of everything.
It won’t be Bidens or the democrats aid that helped Ukraine, it will be trumps aid.
If if (when) Ukraine does come out ahead and the war is won or whatever, trumps name will be all over it.
That’s how he sees it.
And then he can get his prize.
Trump wouldn't release COVID aid checks unless his name was stamped on them.
