    Corrupt American oligarch thinks he can deal with incredibly complex issues just because he’s been able to run scams in the US for a few decade (a country which is arguably one of the most friendly places for oligarchs in the world, some smaller exceptions notwithstanding).

      I thought if I just yelled at Zelensky for 20 minutes in the oval office, he’d agree with me and take my side

        It’s just a common rhetorical tool used by fascists. If people don’t know when you are telling the truth and when you are “joking” you can say whatever you want and then judge public reaction before deciding whether or not to own what you said.

          Common tactic for misogynists and nazis too. If the shit you say is poorly received, “it was a joke”, if no one objects it was dead serious.

    I see he’s shifting from “it’s so easy I can do it in a day” to “it’s impossible and will be a monumental achievement if I can do it”.

    Yet some are still to proud to acknowledge the truth, too eager to maintain their ignorance or unwilling to see what their friends and family that they mocked or belittled were trying to provide warning about. This is on the supporters of this ruse of a leader. This is on those who are ‘just following ordrers’. This is on the rest of us to clean up if it goes any further.

      Trump was correct. He was stabbed in the back by the ‘woke’ Deep State and the media. Biden and Harris destroyed America rather than let Trump lead us to greatness.

      No /s, because that’s the explanation you’ll get.

        Trump would stab himself in the back in full view of all his constituents and try to blame it on all the people he’s trying to punish for not bending a knee to him. Sadly, it would work.
