"THE MAKINGS OF A DEAL!" The concept of a plan to end the war in Ukraine! YES! Take THAT, Trump haters! USA! USA!

I wonder if he has any idea of how ridiculous this crap sounds.

No deadline but the ‘makings of a deal’: Trump meets Ukrainian leader at Mar-a-Lago
"We have two willing countries. We have two willing partners," Trump insisted. "Either it's going to end or it's going to go on for a very long time."

He responded by saying he believes “Ukraine has made some very strong attacks too,” suggesting, without proof, that Zelenskyy’s country was involved in some explosions inside Russia.

In other words, if we now have the "makings" of a plan, do we now move on to coming up with a "concept" for a plan. That is important because in the first case, it will be 4 weeks to end the war. But if "makings" comes after concept, then the war will be over in 2 weeks.

Just horrible. Every five minutes, he goes off on his usual blame game about the Russia Hoax, blaming his predecessors, etc. Poor Zelensky...fighting the instinct to shake his head in disagreement.

Appeasement, to show Putin he's seriously obedient. There's a Good Boy, such a Good Boy!
