"I'm finding it more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine — and they don't have the cards," says @POTUS .
"We're trying to help them and Ukraine has to get on the ball and get a job done."

France and Germany are about to find an infant left on their doorstep.
Trump thinks in terms of “having cards” or “not having cards.” It’s common in the business world, particularly his world of big property development in NY City. You recognize your position, you deal with reality, and move on.
Perhaps he’s less used to the non-material, non-financial and non-rational thinking of political ideologues and zealots
In 1944 we could say “Hitler did not have the cards.” It didn’t matter - he wound up killing himself in a bunker.
Just a guess...
“I find that in terms of getting a final settlement it may be easier dealing with Russia which is surprising because they have all the cards...”
The EU punks are using Zeke to prop up their own standing in the home Countries. That useful Idiot, Zeke does not seem to see it. Instead, it has made him inflexible and deluded. As a result more unnecessary death. At least the calls for Starmer and Macron to step down have stopped..great/s
It appears that Germany is going to have to create a powerful military, march across Poland, and fight the Russians.
Trump is always negotiating.
No way of knowing what his intention is here but he’s most likely delivering more ultimatums to Z (or perhaps to France and Germany).
Sounds like Trump is sending a message Ukraine.
That is why PDJT took so long to realize that Justin(e) True-dolt is using tariffs as a means to raise the Lieberal Party’s chances of reelection.
PDJT made the wrong assumption that globalist WEFer True-dolt actually CARED about his country. Wrong! He cares about globalists and Justin(e) True-dolt. Zippyyy Ukraine-True-dolt is exactly the same way.
At the same time Trump is threatening Russia with more economic sanctions.
I think he’s having trouble dealing with both sides.
I think you are wrong.

In their current state, at least a decade.
Zelensky may do a runner. He’s set.
At the same time Trump is threatening Russia with more economic sanctions.

If the 700 hundred sanctions to date didn’t work, more will not. The Federation of Russia is doing just fine, and still making $$$ billions in revenues, some of which the EU is paying.
I love it, the EU is disintegrating politically, bankrupt, record high shortages and inflation but they still insist on war with Russia. Fools.
Worse I think is that he is dealing with vastly more participants in these things, in complex relationships. Its not just Zelensky. Behind Zelensky is his whole country, plus Europe, plus independent funders, plus, heck, Catholics. And Trump can’t use strategy x, designed for one man, because he might in process piss off a hundred others.
No sweat with DJT, he’s engineering the eventual deal.
I think they will mainly have to produce arms for other people for now.
Poland has 16 militia brigades that need filling out with heavy weapons.
Trudeau and co played the collateral damage of Trumps rhetoric very well.
What could go wrong? (sarcasm)
