 Trump gets testy when reporter presses him on why Ukraine war hasn’t ended: ‘Do you hear this … I just got here’

A testy President Trump got defensive when pressed on why Russia’s war on Ukraine hasn’t already ended under his watch — arguing in a sweeping new interview, “Do you hear this … I just got here.”

The commander-in-chief fired back in a wide-ranging interview with Time magazine published Friday when asked about his pledge to swiftly end the three-year war once he took back the White House.

“Well, I don’t think it’s long. I mean, look, I got here three months ago. This war has been going on for three years,” Trump responded when asked what was taking so long to halt the bloodshed.

“It’s a war that would have never happened if I was president. It’s Biden’s war. It’s not my war. I have nothing to do with it. I would have never had this war. This war would have never happened. Putin would have never done it. This war would have never happened.”

“You then say, what’s taking so long? Do you hear this, Steve? The war has been raging for three years. I just got here, and you say, what’s taken so long?” he continued.

Asked about his campaign promise to broker peace on day one of his administration, Trump insisted he had been speaking “figuratively” at the time.

Trump, stop ignoring the obvious, and rise to the challenge.

The "obvious " being we're demanding results in 3 months that no one at all even suggested of the previous president in nearly 3 years.

That "not my fault" line is getting really tiresome.

It was all just a big joke to Trump anyway...


Trump calls his promise to end the Russia-Ukraine war on Day One 'an exaggeration'

President Donald Trump said in a new interview that he was joking when he promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war in the first 24 hours of his second term.

(snip)

Trump told Time that he was speaking "figuratively" when he promised to end the Ukraine-Russia war on the first day of his second term.

"Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point," Trump said.

"Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended," he added.

EXCERPT
