I voted for Donald Trump in November 2024 for 2 reasons.

1. To use my 1 vote to show my strong disapproval with the horrible leadership and agenda of the cognitively impaired Biden/Harris regime.

2.  Most importantly, despite greatly disapproving of Donald Trump, I was convinced that he was the only person who could end the war in Ukraine quickly. Ending the war in Ukraine was near the top of my list of priorities.  I had no idea that Donald Trump would hijack our democracy while the VAST majority Rs in Congress would enable, defend, support AND FEAR HIM!!!  Be able to replace many thousands of people in key roles with Donald Trump adulating MAGA  cult members. Turning the United States into an Authoritarian form of government. That form of government can actually work if the leader is making smart decisions and doesn't have a diseased, delusional brain with progressive dementia and isn't obsessed with personal conquest and making themselves a global legend instead of doing things to help their country or to make the world a better place.

Anyways, this is a comprehensive analysis of why Donald Trump catastrophically failed to end the Ukraine War. It's not because he didn't try. It's because he was totally focused on making Donald Trump look great instead of sincerely representing Ukraine and their best interests and the Americans that he promised he would end the war for to get their votes in the 2024 presidential election.

This has nothing to do with my personal opinion of Donald Trump. It's an objective analysis using authentic facts and the psychology of negotiating (with basic negotiating 101 strategy) and mindset of Donald Trump. 

He betrayed all of us in the worst way!

As mentioned a dozen+ times here. The main reason that I voted for Donald Trump in November 2024 was because I actually believed he was the only one that could end the war in Ukraine quickly. Not in 24 hours as he insisted on the campaign trail but certainly within a few months. He clearly made an effort but the way that he went about it, turns out was exactly wrong.

Intentionally degrading and scolding Zelensky in front of a global audience in  order to show boat the omnipotent Donald Trump and trying to get him to adulate Donald Trump like all of Trumps other minions sent the exact wrong message to Putin.

If you are for the people of Ukraine, you don't trash their leader in public. In private, sure but that was the worst tactic ever from Mr. Art of the Deal, if you are representing Ukraine and trying to pressure Russia (that has all the cards) to end the war. This was just being a bully against somebody much weaker and sending a message to Putin that Russia holds the cards and advantages, so why should he stop???

Making it much worse is that with the person he should have been talking tough to, Putin he acted nice to and when he reported their private conversations, his version was pretending to have control over Putin to make Donald Trump look good(which is always the top priority of Donald Trump). No way! Instead this just caused Putin to see Donald Trump as a big mouth clown and PUTIN (who is also a psychopath with delusions of grandeur)  WAS NOT GOING TO LET A BIG MOUTH CLOWN CONVINCE THE WORLD THAT HE COULD CONTROL PUTIN!!!! Especially after he  told the world and Putin that Russia has all the cards.

What serious negotiator throws their side under the bus and tells the other side, that the other side has all the cards and gives them incentive to keep going?

If I was was a MLB agent for a weak player, Joe Zelensky of the NY Yankees being paid to get the best deal/contract from his team, I wouldn't lead off the negotiations with the team/owner/management by telling them that Joe Zelensky had to most strike outs in the league and  Joe also committed the most errors when he was in the field. Then, bringing Joe Zelensky in and scolding him in front of the owner for even wanting to be a MLB player and telling the player he should be grateful to the agent for even agreeing to represent him because he doesn't deserve to be in the MLB let alone being on the NY Yankees.

This is the art of the deranged deal!

This is what a TRAITOR DOES! Somebody that BETRAYS the person he is supposed to represent to make themselves look good!

The Ukraine war will end some day, maybe soon just based on Russia's Mt. Everest sized losses that continue to accumulate and can't be sustained forever. However,  Donald Trump's unjustified war in Iran, with him lifting the sanctions on Russia's oil and Donald Trump's self inflicted worst global energy crisis in history, gave Putin an additional 50% for his oil, which has sadly and ironically helped Putin to finance his war LONGER than if anybody else was president of the United States.

This is the 1, most important REAL world war, now over 4 years old that we were counting on Donald Trump to end. Not 10 fake wars.

To make it so much worse was his unjustified, unprovoked war in Iran to serve Bibi Netanyahu/Israel and severely punish the economies and people of every country in the world(except Russia)........while claiming to be the president of peace that ended 10 wars.

Making up the imminent threat of nuclear weapons, while all of Iran's enriched uranium has been buried deeply underground and sealed in cement since June 2025 and YEARS away from being used to make a nuclear weapon.

Donald Trump did the same thing again with the Iran war that he did when he BETRAYED the Ukrainian people. This time he betrayed the American people!

                Donald Trump has committed blatant treason!!!!
