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.

Whoa! 👀‼️
There’s several points you make that I don’t agree with but you are on the mark that President Trump has little influence over Putin and few cards to play.
It was always schtick IMO regarding his claim he could end the war. The 24 hours claim is just how he talks.
The poster you responded to likes to “post tough”.
1) Trump says Putin has gone ‘absolutely crazy
2) Trump says Zelenskyy can’t keep his big mouth shut and it’s causing problems
3) Trump blames Biden, Putin and Zelensky for the war
Scanning for lies….

No lies detected
I think Trump is letting this happen and he’s publicly condemning it for political appearance. This is the only way it could ever end.
I had read there was a mass drone attack on his helicopter recently.
President Trump doesn’t want to take sides, however he sadly has come to the realization that Putin is a psychopath.
Putin is crafty, and trained to delude people (I imagined him his comrades laughing at Pres. Bust affirmation of Putin, saying "I looked into his soul").
What nonsense are you talking?
We seem to be overrun with arrogant idiots who know nothing and constantly tell everyone what is true or what’s going to happen.
I’ll trust President Trump. Period.
These scumbags were always going to turn on Trump the minute he opposes their beloved Mother Russia.
You people are kooks.
The Ujrainians need to move all legitimate targets far from civilian areas.
If a Russian aerial vehicle is shot down there should be a near zero chance of it crashing into a populated civilian area.
“an assault that killed a dozen people”
The US burned 130,000 Japanese to death in one night in WWII.
Oh please. This nonsense of defending Russia has always been idiotic.
Putin AND Zelensky are BOTH murderous thugs.
“an assault that killed a dozen people”
It has been alleged that about 60,000 French were killed in air raids launched to support the D-Day invasion.
It didn't bother me when these folks trashed trashed the Zelensky/Biden/globalist axis.
But now there are a few who trash Trump as they defend Putin.
SMH
There was no other way for it to end other than getting the United States emmeshed in it which would mean the deep state would be in control. Ukraine isn’t going to win without US or European help and nobody is going to stop Putin. Scratch Ukraine off the board.

President Trump has my support but he is a masterful politician making this comment on a Sunday night on a holiday weekend.
Then Mr. Trump moves onto the next item.
Bill Clinton used to change subjects every 24 hours Donald J. Trump changes subjects every 24 minutes IMHO.
God Bless President Trump.
As I posted earlier today in another thread the European Union in alliance with the UK is hostile to Russia and Israel right now.
Netanyahu spoke of the UK-French-Canadian leaders being on the wrong side of history the other day.
Perhaps they are...
