Remember the pressure he was putting on Zelensky in 2019? He wanted Zelensky to publicly announce that they were going to investigate the Bidens. It came out later that Trump wasn’t nearly as interested in Ukraine actually doing an investigation—most likely because he knew they wouldn’t find a level of wrongdoing anywhere near the claims he was going to make on the campaign trail.
He does this over and over again. Makes a big announcement about something he wants to happen, the media makes a big fuss over it, and then when it really doesn’t happen, the media can’t be bothered to care.
And now he can even make money off of it by placing well-timed Polymarket bets.
