From day one Trump embarked on a malevolent mission to undermine democracy, persecute his political foes, and reshape the republic into an autocratic oligarchy that elevates the wealthy at the expense of average citizens. And at the top of Trump’s list of priorities was to enshrine himself as the Messiah of America who all must worship and obey.<\/p>\n
SEE THIS: Trump Cult Priestess, Karoline Leavitt, Preaches to \u2018Trust in Trump\u2019 to Bring Economic Salvation<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The daily disgorging of chaos emanating from the Trump White House often has the effect of burying one calamity or another as Trump introduces something new to deflect from whatever horror has deluged the news cycle for the moment. And in recent days that is particularly true about the war in Ukraine that seems to have disappeared from the media spotlight lately.<\/p>\n Well, now that Trump and his tariffs have caused an economic meltdown that is likely to result in a recession<\/a><\/strong>, he is dredging up the Ukraine war, but only to exploit it in an effort to take the heat off of his latest presidential blunder. Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, that declared<\/a><\/strong> that…<\/p>\n “Russia has to get moving. Too many people ere DYING, thousands a week, in a terrible and senseless war – A war that should have never happened, and wouldn\u2019t have happened, if I were President!!!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This might be a good time to remind everyone that, during the 2024 campaign, Trump swore that if he were elected he would forge a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours with a single phone call before he was even inaugurated. He’s been in office now for two and half months and has achieved less than nothing as Russia has actually escalated their bombing of civilians in Ukraine.<\/p>\n Trump has meekly complained about this previously a couple of times, begging Russia to come to the table. Zelenskyy has already promised to do so. But Trump’s buddy and idol, Vladimir Putin is ignoring him and probably laughing at him. Which makes Trump’s frequent claim that this war would never have started in the first place if he had been president at the time seem pitifully impotent.<\/p>\n Trump’s claim that his presence alone would have prevented Russia from invading Ukraine implies that Putin would be either too afraid of Trump to take such aggressive action, or that Putin so admired Trump that his influence would be irresistible. But it’s clear now that neither of those scenarios have an iota of truth to them. If Putin won’t listen to Trump now when he’s telling him to seek a peaceful resolution, it’s safe to assume that he wouldn’t have listened when he was first plotting to invade.<\/p>\n Therefore, Trump is what professional political analysts call “full of shit!”<\/em> And consequently, so is his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who told reporters on Friday that…<\/p>\n “The president has been quite clear that he has been continually frustrated with both sides of this conflict and he wants to see this fighting end. He wants the war to end. We believe we have leverage in negotiating a deal, a peace deal. And we’re going to use that leverage. And the president is determined to see this through.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Leavitt on Russia's war on Ukraine: "The president has been quite clear that he has been continually frustrated with both sides of this conflict."<\/p>\n — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)<\/a> 2025-04-11T17:26:11.331Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
