Y’all, we *all* know that tRump is Putin’s bitch, so why does he even take the time for what we *also know* are empty threats? It’s just going to be TACO (tRump Always Chickens Out) again and again. I don’t see the point. Wait. He has to show he’s a Strong Man to the world – except he isn’t. The world is just laughing at him more. He’s TACO-ing on tariffs, after all. Look at what he did with China. From CNN:
Trump said he’ll know in two weeks whether the Russian president is “tapping us along,” vowing a change in course if he determines Vladimir Putin is not serious about achieving peace in Ukraine. He declined to specify how he might punish Russia.
Due to Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff threats, there’s a new type of trade taking hold among investors: TACO, short for Trump Always Chickens Out. In other words, don’t fret too much about the latest tariff threat and go on a selling spree, because eventually he’ll back down and a relief rally will ensue. When asked for a reaction, Trump said, “I chicken out? Oh, I’ve never heard that.” He added, “It’s called negotiation.” Trump added, saying that part of his tactic. “Don’t ever say what you said,” Trump told the reporter, calling it “the nastiest question.”
The nastiest question. Ha. Back to what I said in the opening. That’s *exactly* what he’s doing, with the latest being against the EU. Notice he backed down on that yesterday, I believe. More countries should refuse to ship to us. It might give them issues for a bit, but I think they could get through it and find other markets. After all, that’s what China is doing. More from CNN:
When President Donald Trump spoke last week by telephone with Vladimir Putin, the Russian leader committed to drafting and sending what he described as a “memorandum of peace” in the coming days laying out Russian requirements for a ceasefire with Ukraine, according to a US official and White House official familiar with the matter.
But more than a week after that phone call, the US has yet to receive the document from Russia, the sources said. Now, Trump is considering moving ahead with new sanctions on Moscow in the coming days as he vents his fury at the state of the conflict, according to people familiar with the matter.
Options were drawn up in the past several weeks to apply new measures punishing Moscow, but so far Trump has not approved them. The president said Sunday he would “absolutely” consider new sanctions in the aftermath of a sustained missile and drone bombardment that left many dead.
Yea, TACO. All talk and no action does *nothing* to help the situation. How many times has he raged about Putin, and that’s all he’s done? No wonder Moscow is laughing at him. They can do what they want, and he does nothing. Putin’s bitch.
And in a Truth Social post Tuesday, the president wrote: “What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!”
The tension escalated on X early Tuesday evening with a back-and-forth between Dmitry Medvedev, a Russian security official and former president of that country, and Keith Kellogg, Trump’s Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia. Referencing Trump’s post, Medvedev wrote, “I only know of one REALLY BAD thing — WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!”
Kellogg retorted that the US was waiting on the memo from Russia.
Blah, blah, blah. Hot air, which we know Traitor Tot loves. It’s like playing Whack-A-Mole, where you wonder where he’s going to pop up and say next. We are *tired of this*. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone in the government would realize this? More from CNN:
After speaking with Putin last week, Trump told European leaders on a telephone call that he would not join them, for now, in applying new measures on Moscow, even though he had previously signaled a willingness to take a tougher approach to Putin, a European official said.
Trump “believes, that right now if you start threatening sanctions, the Russians will stop talking, and there is value in us being able to talk to them and to drive them to get to the table,” Rubio told lawmakers on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week, a day after Trump and Putin spoke over the phone. “Like we will see, look they have to do this, no one is claiming that this is a guarantee.”
After Trump’s most recent comments, French President Emmanuel Macron voiced hope the US leader would change course.
“President Trump realizes that when President Putin said on the phone he was ready for peace, or told his envoys he was ready for peace, he lied,” Macron said Monday. “We have seen once again in recent hours Donald Trump express his anger. A form of impatience. I simply hope now that this translates into action.”
WHAM. All talk, no action. Other countries know that Putin lies. Other countries want, and feel it is needed, to do more than talk and just take action. El Presidente Imbécil won’t take action against Russia. Ever. Countries of at least Europe, and we can hope for more, need to take action. Let tRump hide behind being Putin’s bitch. They can *do* something. Thanks for sticking with me!

Friends, we’re in a dark passage here. We started losing traffic last November, when the entire country got fed up with politics. Added to that have been my health problems over the past two months. We’re falling behind financially. If you can help in any way, it would be appreciated. I’m doing my best to get back in the saddle again. Thank you. Ursula
“in two weeks” is his standard answer when he wants to buy time. Maybe we’ll stop asking about it for awhile. Remember his first term? Infastructure in 2 weeks, health care in 2 weeks, etc . . .
PS I hope the press keeps asking him “the nastiest question”!
they won’t do anything. for some inexplicable reason they just won’t give up on us leadership despite the evidence that it no longer exists.
