President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Ukraine can win back all territory lost to Russia, a dramatic shift from the U.S. leader’s call on Kyiv to make concessions to end the war.

Trump repeats the last thing he's told. News at 11.

Like the dude if the dude had zero charisma.

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I was going to say, when it comes to Ukraine, this orange fuck flip flops more than the footwear with the same name

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 102 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah... And tomorrow he'll get a text from Vladimir telling him he has a very large penis and he'll change his mind.

Trump is a gullible simpleton who only reacts depending whatever is flying through his pre-dementia brain the instant he opens his trap, and whoever last flattered him or bribed him.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Trump should start selling flip-flops bearing his name.

Zelensky must have figured out the game and just flattered the fuck outta the Annoying Orange.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Surely this is blackface now.

[–] tuff_wizard@aussie.zone 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Tanface is offensive to tan people.

Seriously, is this an edited photo? Surely no one would let him go out like that...

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

It’s not like he has any friends to give him a heads-up.

Not since Jeff .. you know.

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Supposedly he does his own makeup every morning. I think he is getting worse at it as he gets increasingly decrepit.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 10 points 1 week ago

It's like he doesn't even know he has ears

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Literal clown makeup.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago

Nobody "lets him" do anything, he just does things. Most of them are terrible.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm going to guess that since Europe is going towards full self reliance in arms procurement, and the US defense producers are seeing their sales tank, he has been told that this is a way to sell stuff, at least short term, since the European ramp up will take some time.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't need to guess, Trump has gone on at length about how great he is because he's selling US made weapons. He said these things while sitting beside Zelenskyy the leader of a country fighting for it's existence.

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The thing is that Europe will only buy whatever is not produced locally... yet.

Things like Patriots and the like. Europe can produce most stuff right now, and is working on the rest. Things like 6th Gen fighters are in the pipeline (if France stops dicking around, as usual, with their project direction fetish), patriot equivalents should be reasonably easy, etc. Politics is the usually the hurdle, but many multinational programs have been succesful, and there is a real incentive now.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

Oh for sure... and this is a good thing. But Trump doesn't give a shit if the US is fucked in the long term. If anything I think he wants to US to be fucked after he's gone so the next guy will be considered a worse President in comparison.

Short term is US is selling weapons to Europe, and that's all he cares about.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Surprise! The universe doesn’t revolve around this jackass. It’s Ukraine’s land with or without Mango Mussolini’s blessing.

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Didn’t he say he was going to solve this thing on day 1? Maybe he meant to say one day.

You know what though, I hope he does. I hope he solves it all in a way that allows us not to have WW3. I hope the rat fuck gets in the history books as having solved it. I don’t care who does, as long as it’s solved.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

Good point. As terrible as this guy is, lives are what’s most important.

[–] logi@piefed.world 2 points 1 week ago

I hope Trump gets that Nobel Peace Prize that he's been lusting after, having richly deserved it. But he's got some work to do.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago

Are...are the walls talking to you, Donald?

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

We just don’t really care what you think Donald.

[–] Salvo@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

“original Borders from where this War started”.

So not including Crimea…

Honestly, I think that they should insist on 2013 borders.

[–] Salvo@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

…Although the “Special Operation” has been classed as a continuation of the Russo-Ukrainian War so depending on who you ask, Crimea would be included.

“I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN"

Europe should totally buy tons of our US made weapons and send to Ukraine. That way Ukraine is guaranteed to win

[–] Morph9@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Here's a transcription of the meeting between Trump and Zelensky 03 March 2025. Just to refresh you're memory.

Funny he still isn't mentioning Crimea.

That's nice, who says you have any say or that your demented opinions matter?
