MEARSHEIMER: Trump's flailing because he's failing
Trump can't find a win
John Mearsheimer, the University of Chicago professor, said in an interview Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to announce new weapons for Ukraine and threaten Russia with new sanctions is a sign of a desperate leader.
“Trump is flailing…he’s flailing because he’s failing,” Mearsheimer told Judge Andrew Napolitano’s “Judging Freedom.” “You have to understand that. Trump is failing in Gaza, he’s failing vis-a-vis Iran, and he’s failing vis-a-vis the Russians in the Ukraine War. He has not been successful. For all his talk about shutting down these wars shortly after he got into the White House, none of that’s happened, and, indeed what’s happened, is that we’ve gotten deeper and deeper into the mud.”
The Trends Journal has said that Trump has introduced his new messaging to explain why he did not deliver on his campaign promise to end the war in 24 hours: blame Russian President Vladimir Putin for being so hell-bent on war that even Trump! couldn’t get him to stop. Trump has been telling the media that he just can’t believe that Putin could be so ruthless as to bomb Ukrainian civilians at night. (Trump seemed not to have any problem with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu using a far more extreme mass murder campaign in Gaza when the Israeli had dinner last week at the White House.)
Trump said at the White House on Monday: “I’m disappointed in President Putin, because I thought we would have had a deal two months ago, but it doesn’t seem to get there. It’s just the way it is. I hope we don’t have to do it.”
Trump said Putin fooled a lot of people, naming former White House occupants Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.
“He didn’t fool me,” Trump said.
The New York Times reported that Putin is “convinced” that the war is unfolding in his favor and Russia planned for Washington to back out of negotiations and take a harder stance.
The paper wrote: “For all of Trump’s Russia-friendly rhetoric earlier this year, he refused to make the major concessions that Putin wanted, such as pushing Ukraine to give up more territory and limit the future size of its military.”
Trump also praised the Europeans for showing “a lot of spirit for this war.”
“When I first got involved, I didn’t think they did, but they do,” he said, according to the paper.
He reminded Americans: “This is not Trump’s war. We’re here to get it finished and stopped.”

Apparently, Trump's biggest fear is not His Endless Wars or the Russian Oreshnik, but the bunker buster bomb that will not go away.
It's on the way from Epstein Island.
It's causing sleepless nights for AIPAC MAGA supporters worse than the blood stains on Lady MacBeths hands.
That Trump would brazenly insult his supporters suggests he is an extremely immature leader. A mature leader would listen, accept the differences, find a way to accommodate those differences. He is largely responsible for the Epstein narrative to begin with. Patriots did Intelligence collection on Epstein and found something that would negatively affect his greatest ally, Israel. Time to deal with the Zionists once and for all.
