President Trump on Saturday said he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin may be stringing him along after the latest deadly strikes on Ukraine, as the U.S. seeks to bring an end to the war in Eastern Europe.
“There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days,” Trump posted Saturday on Truth Social. “It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through ‘Banking’ or ‘Secondary Sanctions?’ Too many people are dying!!!”
His post came as the president was traveling back to the U.S. following Pope Francis’s funeral in Rome and after he met briefly with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The two leaders spoke ahead of the funeral, their first face-to-face interaction since the contentious Oval Office meeting earlier this year.
The White House has not yet released details on what was discussed during the roughly 15-minute meeting.
Trump’s latest remarks also come in contrast to what he said week ago, when the president insisted “nobody’s playing me.”

DJT hates TAPPING
Tell Putin to get with the program and sign off on President Trump’s ceasefire deal by Sunday evening.
Uk blew up the Russian gas pipeline, car bombed a general in Moscow, and sent an assassin to kill you, DJT. They sacrificed any immunity.
Plus, the UK tyrant, Zy, has repeatedly stated that he will fight until all land HE THINKS is UKRAINE be given to him. F@#$ him. If he continues to play the little dictator just walk away and let his cronies arrange his assassination — war ended.
Just tap it in. Just tap it in. Give it a little tappy tap tap taparoo.
Wait, wait, wait. I was told they were best buddies!
At best, Trump is playing to his base who want to believe that Putin, who started the war by violating national borders and invading his neighbor, is capable of honoring a peace agreement after violating several others. Nothing Putin has done supports that he wants a lasting peace and won’t break the next agreement to restart the war. Some people are thick as a brick on that point.

Really don’t mind if we sit this one out.
At this rate, the new House will impeach Trump on January 7th, 2027.
It’s sure been a long 24 hours.
Countries have interests.
When Russia or Bumfookistan's interests align with ours we can act like besties.
When they later fall out of alignment, well...
Putin playing games with President Trump. Not smart.
President Trump and Putin were supposed to have a phone call this weekend to finalize the ceasefire deal. Hopefully the call still happens.

“President Trump wasn’t joking about his Easter deadline to Putin.” - clownusmaximus
I was being sarcastic in case you didn’t notice.
I would just let the two go at it. Trump needs just bow out. It’s Europe’s problem now.
It’s not our business being there. Let them make peace or kill each other with no assistance from us.
It’s your war now Mr.President.
