We’ll believe this when we see it, right? How could Trump just throw an incendiary bomb like this out into the air like it was nothing? How many times has Trump toggled his tariffs or other penalties on and off and then on and off again? Enough times to earn the acronym “TACO” that’s how many times. Trump makes the Boy Who Cried Wolf look credible by comparison. In all events, he was asked once again on Air Force One, while returning from Scotland, what would happen with respect to Vladimir Putin and the dreaded threatened tariffs and this was his response.
He realizes he's being ridiculed with his "two weeks" promises so instead, he deliberately says 10 days. He monitors the space like a hawk because he does no work.

“Tariffs and stuff.” Sounds really official, right? Put it on your calendar. September 8. Let’s see what Trump does, if anything. We’ll see how Putin lashes back. At the very least, a lot of mockery on Russian TV will take place. That’s pretty standard nowadays.
There is no way that all the fighting will stop on August 8. It would be so wonderful if it would but it won’t. So why is Trump even bothering to tinker with this? Who knows? Nobody can find a good reason at this point, beyond the fact that he was bored and decided to give a reporter a “scoop” and play games.
No doubt Susie Wiles is cringing, wondering how in the world she’s going to spin this the night of August 7. Nobody is getting excited like they would if this was real and not a Trumpian game.
Trump earlier this month said Putin had 50 days to agree to a cease-fire in Ukraine or the U.S. would unleash a tariff package on Russia’s trading partners. On Monday, he shortened that time frame. “We just don’t see any progress being made,” Trump said in Scotland on Monday as he met with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
During a wide-ranging discussion in his golf resort at Turnberry, Trump also said that the U.S. would get more involved in the distribution of aid in Gaza and outlined plans to impose tariffs of 15% to 20% on countries around the globe.
Sitting in a winged armchair, the president spoke of his desire to end global conflicts and how he already used the threat of cutting U.S. trade to bring peace among several warring nations across Africa and Asia. But Trump said Putin had so far ignored his entreaties, and expressed his frustration.
“We thought we had that settled numerous times,” he said, adding he was “very disappointed” with the Russian leader. “And then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city…bodies lying all over the street.”
He added that on several occasions he had what he thought were positive talks with Putin, only to see attacks on Ukraine intensify, sometimes only hours after the pair had spoken. “You know, this has happened on too many occasions, and I don’t like it,” Trump said. He declined to say that Putin was lying to him but said he was “not so interested in talking anymore” to him.
Vladimir is probably not too interested in talking to Donald anymore, either. He’s got better things to do than talk to a child.
Well, gee. I’m sure Vlad is just shaking in his boots with this deadline. I mean, it’s not like he couldn’t just launch wave after wave of destruction on Ukraine for the next 5 and a half weeks before “agreeing” to a cease fire (with a false flag operation made to look like Ukraine breaks the cease fire within hours so Vlad can start right back up with “justification”).
tariffs on Russia? we already import virtually nothing from them. their trading partners? you mean North Korea and Iran? there is China though.
August 8, not September 8.
What then, eh? A demented pivot, garnished with a watery serving of sauce TACO? More like a red herring, isn’t it?
Nothing like making shit up to distract the masses from his pedophilia history!!!
