Trump’s latest remark takes a subtle swipe at Orbán as well

Confusion continues to surround the controversial 28-point Russian–American peace plan leaked in recent days, with no clarity on who is behind it or whether the US administration supports it. In his new post on Truth Social, however, US President Donald Trump did not mention the plan at all: instead, he once again blamed the 2020 presidential election and Joe Biden for the outbreak of the war.

“Putin would never have attacked”: Trump again blames the 2020 election

According to Trump, the war would never have started if the 2020 presidential election had not been “rigged” and if both the United States and Ukraine had had “strong leadership”. He claimed:

“If the 2020 Presidential Election was not (sic!) rigged and stolen, there would be no Ukraine/Russia war… Putin would never have attacked! It was only when he saw Sleepy Joe in action that he said, “Now is my chance!”

Trump again portrayed the current conflict as something Biden and the Democratic leadership “left behind” for him.

Zelensky in the firing line: and even Hungary

  1. The one thing that really struck me was the demand that Ukriane shrink its ability to defend itself. That would seem an open door for Putin to come back in at a later date. If anything, Ukraine should be armed to the teeth. Remember that in the last agreement with Russia, several decades ago, Ukraine agreed to get rid of its nukes in exchange for security.

  2. Ukraine is a very corrupt country and always has been, but the real problem is it’s leader a Stage Comic
    who promised when elected to clean up corruption instead of surrounding himself with the most corrupt
    people around, demanding not asking for help and an arrogant attitude to go along with it,,,,

  3. Donald Trump is the drunkard sitting at the end of the bar who forever rants nonsense and hate. Incapable of critical thinking, he’s convinced he’s the genius of geniuses. Infallible and almost God. A poison to every decent person. The Anti-Christ.
