One is a Joker, the other a Dictator.

How Trump backed away promising to end Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours.

Donald Trump to >Donald duck said repeatedly he would able to end war between Russia/Ukraine “in 24 hours” upon taking office has changed his tone since becoming president. As various U.S. emissaries have held talks looking for an end to the war, both Trump and his top officials have become more reserved about the prospects of a peace deal. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday suggested the U.S. might soon back away from negotiations altogether without more progress, adding a comment that sounded like a repudiation of the president’s old comments.

“No one’s saying this can be done in 12 hours,” he told reporters.

The promises made by presidential candidates are often felled by the realities of governing. But Trump’s shift is noteworthy given his prior term as president and his long histories with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
