Trump blames Zelensky for Ukraine war

Donald Trump has blamed Volodymyr Zelensky for “allowing” the war with Russia to begin in a fresh swipe at the Ukrainian president.

Mr Trump said his Ukrainian counterpart and Joe Biden, the former US president, “did an absolutely horrible job” of preventing the conflict between Kyiv and Moscow and called for an end to the war “fast”.

The US president told his followers on Truth Social: “President Zelenskyy and Crooked Joe Biden did an absolutely horrible job in allowing this travesty to begin. There were so many ways of preventing it from ever starting. But that is the past. Now we have to get it to STOP, AND FAST.”

Relations have since improved, but overnight Mr Trump appeared to defend Vladimir Putin for a Russian missile strike on the city of Sumy, which killed 34 people and injured 100 more, saying he believed it was a “mistake”.

The improved relations referred to above are in comparison to the Oval Office disagreement.

1. Noted and thanks for your posts highplainsdem. Just can't seem to rec.

[BOSSHOG]

2. So refreshing to "hear" the President of the United States

Lie endlessly and shirk responsibility for bad stuff which happens on his watch. The actions are all the rage in authoritarian countries where responsibility is irrelevant at the top of the chain.

I go back 30 some years on an IG Trip. A Young Sailors audit trail wasn’t holding up to scrutiny. He told me “I’ve only been here for two years.”

3. It's obviously Zelenskyy's fault for not immediately surrendering.

4. trump head is still up Putin's ass.

[IronLionZion]

5. Right, so it's not Putin's fault at all

Zelensky forced Putin to invade

[Tarzanrock]

6. Hillary Clinton was categorically correct about 2 things: a.) the Turd-Traitor being Putin's puppet; and, ...

... b.) the Turd-Traitor's idiotic cult being nothing but a "basket of deplorables."

14. The deplorables have grown much larger now, they'll never fit in a basket

Nowadays I'd call them a "fuck-ton of deplorables."

7. Propaganda

Who said if you tell the same lie over and over again the people will believe it?

[Aristus]

11. Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda and Popular Enlightenment.

You have to hand it to him, just out-and-out calling it propaganda, right out in the open like that. Goebbels was one of the first propagandists to use radio for getting his vile message to the public. And in 21st Century USA, hate radio is as strong as ever.

8. Didn't he say he would stop this war in 24 hours, with one phone call?

Every time Loudmouth Loser mentions this war, the response should bring up what he said. Every time.

[GreenWave]

9. obviously he will bemoan that Biden cut the land line cord...

[Botany]

10. Before he killed himself Hitler was still trying to blame the Jews for WW II

He is a fucking mad man who should be in
the Federal Super Max Prison in Colorado.

Thanks a lot A.G. Garland & the U.S. Supreme Court.

12. Once again denying reality.

[SergeStorms]

13. Says the convicted felon, rapist, cheating, lying, Russian asset.

Fuck off, nitwit.

[PortTack]

15. Pip squeak prez doesn't realize just how inconsequential anything he does or says regarding Ukraine is!

All of the EU, the UK, Japan,, Australia and all other freedom loving countries back Ukraine. They know what it means not to stop putin right here and now, and are having none of it!

[Bayard]

16. He's really going to lose it,

When he finally sees he's ignored, shunned, and the world can turn without him.
