Trump Offers to Lead Negotiations to End Russian Invasion of Ukraine: 'The Entire World is at Stake'

Former President Donald Trump is so concerned about the state of global diplomacy that he has offered to negotiate a deal “NOW” because “the entire world is at state.”

Trump took to TruthSocial to comment on recent explosions that have disabled the Russian Nordstream oil pipelines in what European leaders — and Fox News host Tucker Carlson — have called sabotage. Carlson went so far as to suggest that the sabotage was done by the Biden administration but admitted that he didn’t know if that was actually the case.

Trump appeared to mock the Biden administration by opening with US “Leadership” in ironically-detached scare quotes before saying that the recent dismantling of the pipeline is a “big event” but “should not entail a big solution.” Of course, he noted that “The Russian/Ukraine catastrophe should NEVER have happened, and would definitely not have happened if I were President.”

He concluded by pivoting to a solution, adding, “Do not make matters worse with the pipeline blowup. Be strategic, be smart (brilliant!), get a negotiated deal done NOW. Both sides need and want it. The entire World is at stake. I will head up group???”

Read the full statement below from Truth Social:”

I have no words for this world class moron.

stop Putin. After all, Putin never sent him a love letter. And if Trump thought that he could get credit for stopping Putin and be re-elected to President, he would sell his body and soul to do that if he hadn't already done so.

I mean, they may well need to change the name of Dunning-Kruger after The Big Orange Jackass is gone. On the other hand, he is so enamored with his name on anything, he would be flattered, not insulted.

In fact, I think to effectively insult The Big Orange Jackass, one would need to preface and end any comments intending to insult with the notations, "THE FOLLOWING IS AN INSULT (......insert commentary here.....) THE PRECEDING WAS AN INSULT.


Of course, using multisyllabic words is a risk with him, who knows that, even if spelled out specifically, he'd understand?

Really, I can't imagine anyone involved would think Trump competent enough to do anything but fuck things up further, even if Putin knew he'd be on his side. After all, the Russians decided Trump and his campaign were too idiotic to be able to work directly with in 2016 - they had to work independently.
