Trump is all over the place. A master negotiator he is not.

Can’t say Trump isn’t doing everything he can to end this war. This is MASSSIVE for his legacy if he gets it done, and huge for the republicans going into an election year.

My concern here is I don’t trust Z to not frick this up in the first meeting with only him and Putin before the final trilateral meeting.

I wish they were going straight to a trilateral and let Trump land this plane.

Either way… God bless Trump. Many lives will be saved if he brings peace.

Only way we'll get a peace deal is if we cut off Zelensky's money.

I doubt you will see zelensky in Moscow. There were recently meeting in Istanbul between ukraine and russia that went nowhere. Today, trump had the power to take the bull by the Horns and stop the war. He kicked the can down the road by trying to set up a meeting between putin and zelensky.

They are going to have to agree to end the war, you do know this, right? Trump is a lot of things, but King of the World ain't one of them.

I admire the effort but none of this matters until Putin is forced to pivot. Who knows what it will take for that to happen. He’s already wasted hundreds of thousands of lives and billions of dollars. He's pot committed.

Did trump have the power to get a cease fire back on Friday?

How do you propose Trump could have stopped the war today? By what mechanism?

Indeed.

There is a fringe element of the left that would rather see another 100K dead than allow Trump a "win"...whatever that is.

Sadly, a few post here.

You think Trump can snap his fingers and end a civil war between two soviet states?

You cut the money off and ukraine will wither on the vine. Europe could come to the rescue but they are broke too. Ukraine has lost the war. It will only get worse for them.

It is not a civil war. It is a cia created proxy war to take russia out.

I don't trust either one of them, and you'd be wise not to either.

Putin is in the driver's seat, like it or not.

He'd be better off meeting with both Trump and Zelenksy's handlers...the globalists started this shite

Trump won’t force Putin’s hand on a ceasefire, which means Russia will continue the killing.. Putin has no interest in peace. That Nobel Prize is
looking dimmer…

I truly hope and pray that I’m wrong. What’s happening in Ukraine is tragic.
