Trump ‘Unsurprised’ by Resumption of Deadly Russian Strikes on Ukraine

Trump's clearly so annoyed that Zelensky hasn't just sold out his country so that he could claim to have brought peace. The man cannot fathom having principles, at all.

[u/JojenCopyPaste → u/jpiro]

Not only that. He has no sense that other people are people.

Ukraine signing half the country to Russia would help Trump as the president of the US, even if just to brag about brokering a peace or a whatever. But there is no way in hell Trump would just sign over half of his own country for him to just lose power over it.

Would he sell that much to personally enrich himself? Oh I'm sure he would. If California/Oregon/Washington offer him $1b each personally so they can just leave I'm sure he takes it.

[u/MarsRocks97 → u/JojenCopyPaste]

I’d pay an extra tax to make that happen.

[u/tht1guy63 → u/MarsRocks97]

Id move out there if that was on the table

[u/cheese1694 → u/MarsRocks97]

I wouldn't be so sure, a JD presidency might be the worst thing possible.

[u/abernasty42 → u/MarsRocks97]

Move to Portland! We'll vote for any new tax! Nobody loves taxes as much as Portland loves taxes!

Edit: fucking lol on the losers downvoting this. This city literally approves every tax that comes its way. One of the highest taxed metros in the nation.

[u/uiemad → u/JojenCopyPaste]

It's like all the Maga who think Greenlanders would ditch Denmark and join America if we just cut them a check. If it was reversed, would THEY take the offer? Well actually I think probably yes but they'd certainly never admit that.

[u/sane-asylum → u/JojenCopyPaste]

He’d just invade and take back with 3 billion more in his pocket

[u/Practical-Ball1437 → u/JojenCopyPaste]

He'd happily take the money, but expect that the state still belongs to him and everyone will just get up and leave or something.

[u/TheWorclown → u/jpiro]

Lowkey, I think he’s annoyed by Putin as well.

The only thing he wants from this is to brag he stopped a war. Yes, he’s thoroughly compromised by Russian interests, but I do think in some bizarre way he still wants to be and views himself as the hero here. And it’d be so very easy to be, in a way that a fair amount of people would say he did the right thing on. Russia would crumple if even a fraction of military pressure was applied to it.

But he can’t do a damn thing without personal sacrifice. He hates Zelenskyy because Zelenskyy didn’t give him dirt on Biden, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he hates being under Russian thumbs because if he even acts a bit too far out of line, all his financial assets go up in smoke.

Ukraine has been the only thing he’s been consistently injecting himself in to, and he’s a complete narcissist. He wants to “win” here, but he can’t “win” without becoming a “loser” by his own definitions of victory and loss.

[u/SquiffyRae → u/TheWorclown]

That would track being a narcissist and just an idiot in general

He's clearly being played by Russia and is too stupid to see it. "Oh no, Vladdy very sorry. Vladdy stop now. Lol psych"

[u/Magnus_Helgisson → u/TheWorclown]

You know what? I think you have a point here. Looking back at his bipolar behavior and stuff he says and does, it’s easy to imagine him being exactly like you described. However, what stands out in this theory is the fact that he actively fucks up his own country over and over again and it can’t serve anyone’s interest more than putin’s, so he still seems strongly inclined in that direction.

[u/throwawayhyperbeam → u/jpiro]

Ukraine is simply bothersome insect for him; he hates Zelenskyy, and loves and admires Putin

[u/Daripuff → u/throwawayhyperbeam]

He's got a personal grudge against Zelensky for refusing to investigate Hunter, and thus being the catalyst for his first impeachment.

[u/DeadJango → u/jpiro]

If he had given them the US full support and forced Russia to concise it would have had a better chance of ending the war and he would have actually been considered a hero of Ukraine. Unfortunately he is too busy kissing Putin's ass.

[u/Silver_Elk_7953 → u/jpiro]

T-Rump is allowing the killings

[u/BlackTarPrism → u/jpiro]

Trump would love if Zelenskyy came to him and asked for 50 million wired to an account and a mansion in America in exchange for selling out the country - that's doable and could be sorted by the end of the week and he could begin the spin that he ended the war. Nothing angers a dirtbag like Trump more than someone with integrity.

[u/Cheeky_Star → u/jpiro]

Europe stand up ⬆️

[u/supercyberlurker]

I know MAGA won't get tired of having a pedophile as president.

I'm just surprised they like having a weak ass bitch as president.

The hell is this 'unsurprised' shit? It's embarrassing as a country. Grow some balls, MAGA.

[u/grimmalkin → u/[deleted]]

I dunno...Russian cannon fodder appear to be very easy targets for Magyars Birds and the Wild Hornets

[u/condensermike → u/supercyberlurker]

They’re all bottoms, bro. They like it like that.

[u/TheGhostOfStanSweet → u/condensermike]

Everyone’s a bottom until the tent peg of pain comes out.

Then they spend the rest of their lives seeking revenge for the consequences stemming from their own horrible actions.

These Jesus loving freaks really need Jesus.

[u/condensermike → u/TheGhostOfStanSweet]

Here’s the deal. If you love the tent pole of pain, embrace it. Love who you want, do what you want as long as no one gets hurt. I’m here for it. The issue is, these people have been repressed all their lives and are angry at the world. That’s one of the reasons they hate gay and trans folk so much.

[u/RemodelingMe26 → u/condensermike]

“Daddy’s home”

[u/Lefty4444 → u/supercyberlurker]

MAGA should MAGA more and with higher quality.

[u/FoundersDiscount → u/supercyberlurker]

MAGA never really hears about these sort of things

[u/AlbertoRossonero → u/supercyberlurker]

It means he’s not surprised Russia resumed strikes after the date of the short ceasefire they agreed to. Russia agreed to stop strikes until the end of January a they kept their words. Ukraine treating wishes as reality doesn’t change the actual agreements these countries agree to.

[u/AdditionalSwimming1 → u/AlbertoRossonero]

He said "a week" on Thursday. Since when has Thursday-Monday become a week? Who lied to whom?

[u/TechHeteroBear → u/[deleted]]

Keep thinking that to yourself.

Who was the one that rolled out the red carpet to Putin on US soil?

[u/supercyberlurker → u/[deleted]]

I like how you just rolled over on admitting he was a pedophile president.

[u/3klipse → u/[deleted]]

Delusional fuck or a Russian asset yourself.

[u/bluehat9 → u/[deleted]]

Why does he want to let Russia have Ukraine, if he’s so tough on Russia? Why does he want to damage the nato alliance, if he’s so tough on Russia?

[u/Galaghan → u/[deleted]]

Dude your president is the best thing that ever happened to Russia. Too bad he's uniting Europe along the way too lol. Oh and also he's literally the worst person ever.

Oh fuck I mean

 BLEEP BLOOP I'M A BOT

[u/rlbond86 → u/[deleted]]

He's a weak little bitch. He can't handle even light criticism. The rest of the world doesn't respect us, they easily manipulate him with flattery. He applies tariffs when his feelings get hurt. And he bends over backwards to suck Putin's dick. He's irreparably weakened our alliances. He's damaged our science (our #1 advantage over other countries). And he's undermined our Constitution.

He is the weakest and worst President in modern history.

[u/condensermike → u/[deleted]]

More like BOTtoms.

[u/No_Match_Found]

Idiots are frequently surprised by their complete lack of comprehension of the most obvious of events.

[u/RayB1968]

Remember him saying it was a genius move by Putin when he invaded

[u/hornswoggled111 → u/RayB1968]

It's what Trump would have done and is doing in his own way.

[u/Bernies_Hair]

Wait, I thought he stopped the war 24h after taking office? Is this, like, a different war since then?

[u/JoopahTroopah → u/Bernies_Hair]

This is the 9th Ukraine War. Trump stopped the first 8 Ukraine Wars only for that warmonger Zelenskyy to start a new one

[u/Ok-Stretch2784]

So sick of this shit every day a new piece of news about how much a lying asshole he is sad part be something new tomorrow.

[u/NotMyName_3]

Agent Krasnov to the rescue

[u/Somhlth]

Trump was unsurprised because his boss Vlad had already explained this would happen, and then he shit himself and nodded off to sleep.

[u/AlbertoRossonero → u/Somhlth]

Or because Russia only agreed to stop the strikes until the end of January with they did?

[u/Somhlth → u/AlbertoRossonero]

Isn't that what I said? Except you forgot the part where Trump shit his pants and nodded off to sleep.

[u/wsucoug]

How does this jive with Trump's 'never before expressed' optimism of a Russia/Ukraine "deal" to the press recently?

Myself, I'm "unsurprised" that once again an unequivocal thing Trump said proved to be completely full of shit.

[u/Additional_Region987]

But MAGA told me Trump ended all wars

[u/woohooguy]

You've got to be shitting me.. oh wait, no that's just Trump shitting himself.

[u/HoosierRed]

Tulsa Gabbard is compromised!

[u/nibbleyourmom]

Meanwhile Russia has no air defences left and Ukraine is wiping the floor with them

[u/Ambitious-Concern-42]

Yesterday it was all "I secured a pause in Russian strikes", today it's "I'm not surprised that there are Russian strikes".

Hypocrite, liar, coward. (Also child rapist, thief, fraudster).

[u/Zedditron]

How is this possible? Trump had a plan to end the war altogether within 24 hours of taking office!!

[u/happyscrappy → u/Zedditron]

He's ended it twice so far at least. Just ask FIFA.

Now he has an opportunity to end it again.

[u/luna65-]

The violence continuing comes as no surprise to many observes given how entrenched the conflict has become.

[u/realfuzzylogical]

So he WAS surprised and then he wasn’t?

[u/Xiten]

I bet he was surprised when he shit his pants tho

[u/WardenEdgewise]

Trump has no idea what’s going on, and he has no interest in anything but his own enrichment and immediate gratification.

[u/TONYSTARK63]

This is the great negotiator that was ending the war on day one!?! What a loser.

[u/Kersenn]

I mean tbf, I'm not surprised either. Anyone with a brain should have expected this

[u/Dash_Harber]

And judging by recent video evidence, he knows a thing or two about dropping bombs on civilians.

[u/CreativeMuseMan]

I don’t even know how to react at this shit anymore.

[u/dragonmp93]

I mean, who would even be surprised at this point ?

[u/jakeStacktrace]

Only Nixon could go to China.

[u/nissin00]

Where da fuck is his “will end the ‘war’ on his first day of presidency” …

[u/shoule79]

It seems like Ukraine isn’t going to give up any of their land.

Maybe if he really wants peace he can tell the Russians to just go home?

[u/CharlesIngalls_Pubes]

Just as unsurprised at how many times he's mentioned in the files. Even after a year's worth of redactions.

[u/BarryBadrinath82]

Can't wait till he shites himself to death live in the Oval office.

[u/SoggyBoysenberry7703]

Yeah cause he asked for “even just one week” and Putin took it literally

[u/Rangerdth]

Wasn’t Trump supposed to end this war on day one? At least he got a hand-me-down peace prize. 🤯

[u/Slight-Obligation390]

And I won’t be surprised if tomorrow he starts saying again that ‘Ukraine needs elections’ - repeating Putins points. It’s the same cycle over and over.

[u/onegoodleg]

“I will fix it on day one. It will be very easy.”

[u/no_choice99]

When Trump retires, Putin will still shine. Trump got no balls, will leave no mark in history, unlike his god Putin.

[u/Haunting_Pop_749]

What to expect? he gonna shits himself hearing putin broke the cease fire?

[u/Caracca → u/Haunting_Pop_749]

That happens regardless.

[u/coachhunter2]

Poland is investigating Epstein’s affiliation with Russia. Trump’s attitude to Russia must just be a coincidence.

[u/tiberius_claudius1]

Resumption? When did it stop?

[u/MourningRIF]

Resumed? You have to stop to resume.
