Dan Quayle sums it up quite well.

Re Trump and Putin, Trump wants an end to the unwinnable war, and is hoping that Putin can be cajoled into an agreement because it is costing him too much (in money, troops, & political cache).
It is worth a try, but as you know, Putin is a bastard, and he may well choose to find excuses to keep it going.
Where Trump needs to be careful for is letting Putin play it along too long if he isn't serious.
There was also the Zelensky problem because he was also in no way willing to end hostilities without getting back wall of Uk's land first - but that just isn't going to happen. He is also getting a lot of personal gain, and he has taken the opportunity set up a dictatorship (well beyond just suspending elections indefinitely as we have already discussed - Z eliminated the other 9 rival political parties and he has banned churches as well, and of course, he cannot account for all of the money that we have been sending him).
He is dependent on our money, and Trump brought him into line (for the first time).
So some progress has been made, but now we are at a point where we can see what Putin will actually do.

..in classic Quayle fashion, he had no idea that the last thing any of us wanted to do was meet a politician. I recall shaking his hand and taking a pamphlet and dropping it in the waste basket just past him.
He was running for congress at the time in South Bend's district.

sure not going to waste time on him now.
Every day is more hilarious, the faux outrage really brings it home. How pathetic do you have to be to live your life every day hanging on this BS?
What we have how is nothing more than a clown show. Oh, and it’s been a long 24 hours to end the war in Ukraine. Maybe the orange baboon should take Putin’s cock out of his mouth and start pressuring the Russian savage. Maybe side with our allies, too.
You’re a fucking know nothing sycophantic imbecile. Eat a bag of dicks.
You are so far gone.
