This is entirely performative. You don’t threaten to sanction banks and give investors time to pull their money, and it’s not like Russia cares about investing in our rapidly declining market anyway.

If Trump was ‘so concerned’ about Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, he’d reinstate intelligence.

Didn’t he just repealed all the sanctions and tariffs on Russia?

Big toddler just learned his first word! “Ta-riff!” Now he can’t stop repeating it!

“Say hi to Uncle Trudeau?” “Ta-riff!”

" What do you give papa Putin?"“Ta-rrff!” giggles

Same guy that said sanctions don’t work and was trying to remove Russian sanctions a couple days ago. Complete clown show.

Oop optics are down gotta spin some bullshit that they’ll “forget” they did when flip flopping creates “weak leadership” headlines later. Back and forth.

Maybe, just maybe, someone in the right position could question his mental health status

“I love you… er…no I don’t…ok I do… nah I don’t think so…”

I doubt that this will piss Putin off as much as some may think.

Putin (may god bless his grand pecks) knows how Trump ‘negotiates’, that is Trump says a lot of nonsense and you have to treat Trump as if he is writing up the best damn deal for America of all time even if it is a load of nothing (like USMCA which is renamed NAFTA or the US-Ukraine Mineral Deal which would have given Ukraine tons of investment in return for mostly fuck all). You have to treat the little orange self proclaimed god-emperor as if he really is one.

Trump hates Iran because Iran embarrassed him.

Trump hates Zelenskyy because Zelenskyy shat on him and attempted to embarrass Trump.
