President Trump in a new post on Truth Social on Sunday night accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of having gone “absolutely” crazy and said if he did not stop what he was doing, it would lead to the downfall of his country.
The social media comments came after Trump had issued some of his toughest comments about Putin earlier in remarks to reporters in New Jersey.
“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!,” Trump wrote.
“He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever,” Trump said.
“I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!”
Trump then turned toward Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, who he has repeatedly criticized. Zelensky on Sunday had faulted the silence of the U.S. and other countries in the wake of the latest missile and drone barrage from Russia against his country, an assault that killed a dozen people.
“Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does,” Trump said.

Blah blah blah. Always arrogantly TELLING everyone what’s going to happen, when you know absolutely zip.
Bunch of wannabe Nostradamuses.
No one knows what will happen. That’s what’s dangerous for all concerned.
Trump dissed both Putin and Zelenskyy. He’s keeping his hands clean while the dirty war rages on.
You post something to me, chickie maximus?
He’s not flip flopping. He’s responding to current events. His policies have not changed.
It’s apparent Putin doesn’t care what Trump says.
And it’s also apparent there is very little Trump can do to materially affect the outcome here.
Russia is not going to stop until they achieve their political objectives, or are stopped by force.
Only the US has the military ability to stop Russia and there’s no friggin’ way the US is going to engage Russia directly. Never happen.
This idea the US Neoconservatives are floating...a 500% tariff on all countries that do business with Russia will only isolate the US. It’s just plain dumb.
I don't understand your attitude.
Trump is just putting on a face saving show.
Exactly. He's extracting himself and the United States from the situation and letting them fight it out.
Yes, isn’t it obvious? Or are you really that stupid? Wait- you don’t have to answer that..
Why should he care?
They hold all the cards. Hell even Trump said that.
There is not one thing that the western countries have that can become advantageous in negotiations.
The assassination attempt on Putin destroyed any chances of talks. Russia will simply grind their way to the Dnipr river now.
Ukraine as a country will cease to exist as their neighboring countries will pick the country apart.
apairofpantysmaximus has got his in a twist over this, it seems.
I’m a Trump supporter, doofus. I’m going to have check where you stood on Trump in the FR primary wars of 2016.
Youse Ukie stooges are gonna be mad when Trump hangs out The Green Goblin to dry. If somebody stood around to collect the bricks you’re gonna excrete, they could make a nice wall.
And the people said Amen.
You were anti-Trump in 2016, you POS.
Them Zeepers sure hated Trump in 2016.
Now they’re pretending that they weren’t. I got some POS attacking me on this threadthat was attacking Trump in 2016, and now he’s pretending that he was Trump’s “swell pal”.
Wait’ll Trump drops the hammer on the Green Piano Punk. This dude will soil himself. It will be great.
If you didn't see this coming, you really weren't paying attention, or had blinders on...
Almost everyone is missing the point. The real question is , “Who is Trump trolling?”
We soon will see.
Yeah, Trump is such a terrible president. We need to go back to the Bush era, because Trump is in second admendment territory so this justifies impeachment!
Putin sends you Hugs and Kisses.
Sweetheart 😄
