In Sept. 2025 Trump said “Kyiv could reclaim all territory with EU/NATO aid.” By Dec. he’s pushing Zelenskyy to “accept things” and cede land, saying Ukraine is “losing.” Trump repeats what the last person told him, he’s repeated Putin’s rhetoric as well. Attention span of a hamster or fruit fly.

  1. Trump should be removed from office before he does something stupid like sending US troops to die for Russia.

  2. While it’s true that Trump is usually influenced by the last person he spoke to, I find that his default position is always sympathetic to the russian line. He might be nudged off of it here and there, especially if he speaks to a charismatic pro-Ukrain voice, but he usually falls back to parroting russian talking points pretty quickly. And ofcourse his entire cabinet is full of pro-russia voices, so that’s all he hears on a regular basis.

  3. Putin has Kompromat.
    Putin is threatening to release it if Trump doesn’t end the war in Ukraine in Russia’s favour.
    Putin will never stop leveraging Trump
    Next up will be for the US to leave NATO, and to help Russia break up the EU.

  4. Trumps attention span is as long as the videos that Putin likes has of him doing things that should never be done.

  5. He is right on both counts, Europe is afraid to do the right thing and condemning Ukraine to destruction because of it.

    They are too afraid to spend the money needed (and the frozen Russian funds are just an apetizer, it’s a trillion level sum they should spend). They are also too afraid to say it’s time to talk. Both because of their own desire to not piss off their electorate.

    A grifter recognizes grifters. He’s read our leaders just right.

  6. That comment is extremely insulting to hamsters and fruit flies.

  7. He’s just placating a certain Demographic with those comments. His ACTIONS say Otherwise.

  8. CadetBoneSpors aka Comrade Krasnov is an Adderall Junkie with Dementia.

  9. He’s doing business for himself. Americans in general are so far away from any real danger they couldn’t care less, either.

    Stop reacting to every “trump said” headline. The reality is that the EU failed Ukraine miserably and Russia will never give those territories back in our lifetime. The sooner the war ends, the less people will die and that’s the most important thing. The world changed completely and EU should focus on staying relevant otherwise we’ll just slowly disappear.

  10. I’ve said for years that Trump’s perspective is heavily influenced by the last person he speaks to – sometimes that’s Putin over the phone. It was insane to vote him into the Whitehouse a second time, regardless of opinion on his votes.
