Trump: I Will End Russia-Ukraine War as President-elect

Joel B. Pollak 16 Sep 2024

Former President Donald Trump said that he wanted to end the was between Russia and Ukraine as President-elect — even before he takes office — though he did not say how he intended to do so, given laws barring private diplomacy.

Trump made the comment during an interview on X (formerly Twitter) “Spaces” with cryptocurrency enthusiast Farokh Sarmad — the first interview the former president has granted since escaping a second assassination attempt the day before at his Florida golf club.

Democrats smeared Trump as a Russian puppet, yet Russian President Vladimir Putin did not invade any countries while Trump was president. Upon taking office, President Joe Biden adopted a posture of appeasement, canceling Trump’s sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and holding a summit with Putin in Geneva before ever meeting with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky. Russia invaded Ukraine, which held out — against the expectations of the Biden administration — but then Biden, who came to office declaring “diplomacy is back,” pushed for victory, which has been elusive after nearly three years of war. Biden has yet to call any kind of joint peace conference.

Oh, sure thing Trump.

President-elect does not have any Constitutional powers.  Have fun being pretend President, Tangerine Mussolini.

Are you drunk?

Trump will "do, do, do" but "how, how, how"?  That's what's always missing from his statements! Explain yourself better Mr. T!

I don't need to drink; I'm an egg short of a dozen; there's some cheese missing from my cracker; etc.

I actually would like to hear some details of how he would do it, instead of saying it as a "headline talking point"

Ronald Reagan secured the release of the Iran hostages before he took office. You gonna call him names for doing so? Hmmm?

Don't hold your breath. Like most of what he says, empty promises.

I remember Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump is no Ronald Reagan.

Which doesn't answer my question.

Did you mean perhaps presidential nominee???

The president obviously DOES have Constitutional powers as the head of the executive branch of the government and primarily as Commander in Chief.

He's correct that a President elect has no Constitutional authority, but he still has significant influence.

Actually his 'plans' to end the Russo-Ukraine war should be kept under wraps. Revealing plans so that Russia or Ukraine can undermine plans isn't a good idea.

Doesn't have to be specific....  Just some generalities.

I'm not so sure that, that is needed right now.  Trump does have a way of opening his mouth when he shouldn't, hopefully this is one time he does keep it shut. Just my opinion.

One thing is for certain -- we didn't have the war in Ukraine nor the debacle in Afghanistan while he was president.
