"It makes me think that maybe he [Putin] doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions?' Too many people are dying!!!", Trump wrote.

Trump literally always copies the stance of the last person he had a 1-on-1 with.
Which is either really dumb politics – or really smart advertizing, if his goal is to maximize profits at Mar-a-Lago.

More-or-less. They literally just had an article about this: https://www.axios.com/2025/04/19/inside-trump-mindset-tariffs

"We saw it in business with Trump," one adviser said. "He would have these meetings and everyone would agree, and then we would just pray that when he left the office and got on the elevator that the doorman wouldn't share his opinion, because there would be a 50/50 chance [Trump] would suddenly side with the doorman."

Zelenskyy's best option is to move to Florida and let Trump beat him at golf every week.

I hate how true that is.
Diverting about 1% of Ukraine's war budget to visits at Mar-a-Lago would be a sound investment.

It’s almost like the US position on Ukraine prior to his current circus was the right one. Almost as though the Clown King must touch the skillet to learn that it will burn him rather than accept the wisdom of those who came before him and said, “DO NOT EVER TRUST VLADIMIR FUCKING PUTIN!”
