Trump Envoy Jokes About Trump's Campaign Promise to End Ukraine War 'Within 24 Hours'
Trump sounded a lot like his predecessor on Friday and warned Russia that he is not above imposing new sanctions
We are so back!!!!
The Trump administration is better at propaganda than keeping campaign promises, and now they’re even joking about it.
During the 2024 Presidential Campaign, Donald Trump ran as a peace candidate and vowed that he would — through his ability to make a deal — be able to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours.
That, of course, didn’t happen.
Keith Kellogg, the pro-Ukraine hawk Trump tapped as his special envoy on the Ukraine conflict, joked to the Council on Foreign Relations yesterday: “Remember the president said he was going to end the war in 24 hours. We didn’t say what day or what year.”

RT, the Russian news outlet, reported that the joke elicited laughter from the crowd.
In January, Kellogg told Fox News that he gave himself a self-imposed goal to resolve the conflict within 100 days.
John Mearsheimer, the University of Chicago professor, said in an interview with Judge Andrew Napolitano that he does not believe Kellogg will be able to deliver on his promise.
“He can’t, in my opinion,” Mearsheimer said. “The Russians are in the driver’s seat – the Russians – for a good strategic reason from their perspective – are driving a hard bargain, and it’s almost impossible for me to see President Trump accepting the terms that the Russians demand. And, therefore, I don’t think this is going to be settled in 100 days.”
Trump sounded a lot like his predecessor on Friday and warned Russia that he is not above imposing new sanctions.
“They [Russia] are bombing the hell out of them [Ukraine] right now... and I put a statement out, a very strong statement ‘can't do that, can't do that,’” he said, according to the BBC.
We probably should rethink electing an administration that has a "Star of David" tramp stamp on the small of their collective backs. Ukraine is their new Israel....
Trump is in part responsible for the war. One thing that went largely unnoticed and not spoken of in his circus show with Zelensky the other day, he seemed to go off script and felt the need to brag about giving Ukraine Javelins last time in office and then proceeded to tell Zelensky "I emboldened you to be a tough guy'. That is not the words of someone who would have prevented the war as he and his cult like to claim.
