121 days since Jan. 20th and "Day 1," Trump's only days away from realizing he didn't end the Ukraine war on Day 1. USA!

Exasperated Trump signals he's ready to abandon 'day one' promise

Chance pointed out it was the sixth time that Trump had publicly shown annoyance with the Russian leader. He called him “absolutely crazy” after renewed attacks on Ukraine in recent days — with the largest ever strikes on Ukraine coming this weekend.

He’s also expressed exasperation with Putin’s refusal to sign ceasefire deals.

“More likely, the latest upsurge in violence in Ukraine may further convince an already frustrated US president that he is simply unable to bring the warring parties together any time soon,” wrote Chance.

“And, amid all his anger and bluster about Putin, Trump may simply choose to walk away.”

And he thinks Vladimir Putin is his friend, but Americans who are Democrats are mortal enemies

He's watching the ridiculously-slight chance of the Nobel Prize slip from his short-fingered hands. His first and only concern is always for himself alone.

Trump starting campaigning that he would end the Russia-Ukraine war BEFORE he was inaugurated.

Which might make him the first President to break a campaign promise the moment he was sworn into office. Maybe I’ll check with The Guinness Book of World Records and see…
