Trump makes reporter look silly after she asks why he doesn’t just end the war in Ukraine tomorrow.

REPORTER: “You have within your power, the most powerful man on Earth, why don’t you just enable Ukraine to finish this war tomorrow?”
TRUMP: “Well, if you knew anything about… pic.twitter.com/1Ub3TvvVKE
The reporter begins this exchange by asking "Would you support Senator Lindsey Graham's bill to declare Russia a terrorist state? And you have within your power, the most powerful man on earth. Why don't you just enable Ukraine to finish this war tomorrow?"
Constitutionally- and this is a constitutional republic, or has been- the President of the USA is constrained by Article 1 (Congress) and Article 3 (courts). This President believes that he is not so constrained, or is legally but that might makes right.
Still, it's a legitimate and appropriate question, to which Donald responds
But it sounds easy. We're in the process of trying to make deal. If we make a deal, that's great. If we don't make a deal, it'll be, uh, a lot of people are going to be paying a big price.
Part of the MAGA world is, at least recently, Batya Ungar-Sargon, who has disappointingly scored a show of her own on News Nation. She also appears periodically on CNN's News Night with Abby Phillip, though on Monday with substitute Sara Sidner. She stated
I support white Boomers using their First Amendment rights
to hold a mass therapy session about the fact that Trump won! But to call him a
king is utterly preposterous. He won the popular vote. He is enacting the exact
agenda he promised he would. They are actually protesting American democracy.
The only appropriate response is to laugh!
There is much wrong with this comment, including the bias against whites and the elderly and the bizarre notion that protestors of a dictatorial regime are protesting American democracy. Additionally, the remark ties in with the President's remarks about Ukraine.
Ungar-Sargon claims Trump "is enacting the exact agenda he would," an agenda which in her mind evidently does not include Project 25, which candidate Trump stated he hadn't read and didn't like- and is now enacting.
However, the President also is failing to enact his foreign policy agenda inasmuch as
On the campaign trail in 2023 and 2024, Trump said on dozens
of occasions, in an entirely serious tone, manner and context, that he would
end the war in Ukraine either within 24 hours of his return to the White House
or even sooner than that. He said over and over again, including at both
presidential debates of 2024, that he would have the war “settled” when he was
president-elect, before his inauguration.
A Friday search of the Roll Call Factba.se database that catalogues Trump’s public remarks turned up at least 53 examples of Trump making such comments.
In the latest effort by the leader of the most powerful military on earth to appease a dictator bent on restoring an empire
Russian President Vladimir Putin has "won certain property" during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and should be expected to take Ukrainian territory as part of a peace deal, U.S. President Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News that aired Oct. 19.
The interview was taped a few days earlier, directly following his phone conversation with Putin on Oct. 16. The call came ahead of Trump's White House meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky — talks that ended in disappointment for the Ukrainian delegation, with no promise of Tomahawk missiles.
Donald's modus operandi for ending the Russo-Ukrainian war-is to put pressure on our ally to capitulate to an anti-American aggressor and tyrant. He promised to end the war immediately after becoming President or even before becoming President.
But a king? Preposterous. Oh, wait:
The morning of the No Kings protests, Trump protested "They're referring to me as a king. I'm not a king," the only possible response when confronted by millions of dissenters noting that he is a king. Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?
It turns out that Ungar-Sargon, as with the vast majority of Donald's supporters, will believe him over the stark, naked evidence that Trump continually supplies us with. That's true of their evident faith that Donald Trump is not a king and is simply enacting an agenda everyone in the country voted for.
