LOL. Nobody, including Trump, believed that... yet you latch onto this "promise" so you can continue to whine about Trump forever and a day.

 

How about his other promises, were they also not to be believed?

Eggs

The cost of eggs hit an all-time high in March, with the average price of one dozen Grade A eggs at $6.23.

 

That’s a 25 percent increase compared to the price of one dozen eggs in January. The significant rise can be attributed to the avian flu epidemic, which has seen entire flocks of egg-laying hens wiped out.

But despite that, Trump has still said that the price of eggs are down “79 percent” since he’s taken office and that “they’re all over the place.”

Wow, that has to be one of the most bizarre responses I’ve seen so far. A truly warped perspective. You’re essentially saying anyone who believed him was stupid, and honestly, I agree. It’s hard to argue with that. But are we really expected to just accept that presidential candidates will straight up lie about what they’re going to do? Your comments are on another level of delusion I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed. Rationalizing straight up lies because you are so brainwashed by his rhetoric. Unbelievable. You just can't find any fault with him at all, can you?

 

And as for your point about people wanting something to whine about with Trump every day, no, absolutely not. I would have praised him if he had ended the war on day one as promised or played any meaningful role in ending it even after 90 days. What I didn’t expect was for him to blatantly throw in the towel and just give up. That’s the part I never saw coming. I assumed he’d at least keep the lie going, pretend he was making progress, even if he wasn’t. But no, he just gave up, arms in the air. The guy’s an outright quitter.

 

He also immediately reversed course on several of his biggest tariff promises. Within a week, he canceled tariffs on smartphones, computer components, automobiles, and car parts, two major campaign promises already flushed. He claimed he’d reduce food prices and basic necessities, yet we’ve seen no sign of that. In fact, the indicators show costs are likely to rise with the tariffs. Meanwhile, he’s tanked my stock portfolio.

 

I could go on, but what’s the point? He’s a one-man disaster with clothes on.

25%  tariffs are still in place for  automobiles and tariffs for auto car parts are due to start May 3rd so at the moment what you have posted in relation to automobiles and auto car parts is incorrect and false

Thanks for that info, but do you think you know the actual significance of those digits "5.11.16" are then as, contrary to some peoples opinions, I am not into ladies dress sizes??

 

He's attempted to flag then date of the 2016 election, but got a 5 mixed up with a 8, so the punchline failed. He's making a reference to so-called <removed>. Russians write the date dd.mm.yr, as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon conventions of dd/mm/yr or mm/dd/yr.

So clearly he not referencing the New Testament, Matthew

 

Quote

 

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

 

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.

 

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

 

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

 

 

 

Nothing all that remarkable happened on the 5th November. Besides the footie, Little Mix was Number 1, maybe the Russian is waxing about that mementous event. Ireland beat the All Blacks, which is pretty cool.

Little Z doing an extremely foolish big dog routine, the little Chihuahua yapping at the 2 calm but ready Pitbulls. He'd just been for a pep talk with Schumer and co. This stupidity scuttled the peace deal there and then. Poisoned the well. Made Ukraine a visibly weak and scared target. And you accuse me of missing the plot? Wow.

I think you're reading way too much into it, there's no question that the entire thing was staged, Zelensky was set up, Vance was told to act like a pit bull, instead he embarrassed himself in front of the entire planet and made himself look like an utter and completely ignorant fool, puffing his chest and trying to do a Tarzan look alike, which failed miserably. You can't make a emasculated wimp look like Tarzan, it's impossible, it just can't happen. He is a nobody, play acting the role of VP, and doing it very poorly. 

 

Dan Quayle was the last VP I can recall who was as embarrassing, and as incompetent.

Yes. Absolutely. Trump is a pathological liar, and anyone who does not believe that is self deluded or is simply not well versed in recent American history. He would say or do anything to achieve an end and his complete lack of ethics, coupled with his total moral bankruptcy allows him to do so without inhibition.

This war is a total loss for both sides and anyone involved. Russian wars just reduce population to rubble leaving only empty land and refugees. Fact is Ukraine was negotiating NATO on Russian and Belaruses doorstep. What would anyone with common sense expect? Russia has unlimited weapons and never surrenders when threatened.

[Tug]

We all know trump is a dullard but really this long to realize putins played him again???I dono I’m going to give him (trump) more credit than that and chalk this one up to his mental illness not letting him process the fact that he’s been played AGAIN!!!sad embarrassing and down rite hummilating to have this guy as POTUS.

Unlimited weapons? Never surrender? Neither is true.

 

And a fact was Finland joined NATO with scarely a murmur from Russia. And a fact is, prior to 2022, there was little to no prospect to Ukraine actually being admitted to NATO, given that Ukraine was already in a territorial dispute with Russia, and so would never be able to secue the necessary unanimous support from the members.

What you dont realise is that Putin already has the land, he isn't going to return it. If Z man had gone to the tablenback in 22 it would still be Ukrarainian

You dont refuse peace talks, fight & lose the war,  then ask for your stuff back.

And that is not even mention the fact that those it that areas were mostly ethnic Russians being attacked by Ukrainian neo Nazi rebels.

Putin is not going to throw those people under the bus either.

And what exactly did the previous US administration, and the rest of Europe for that matter, do to end the conflict in Ukraine …. oh, wait a minute, they’ve only had 3 years; probably not long enough for sleepy Joe to find Ukraine on the map, or for the EU to pass legislation through the minefield of bureaucracy in Brussels.

And the question was about ending the Ukraine war. However, as you so stupidly pointed out, he´s also failing other promises. In other words a liar that can´t be trusted, on the most important post in the USA.
