The Biggest Lie of 75,000
“I will stop the war in one day.”
By Jeff Cann
“I will stop the war in one day.” How many times did he say it? How many times was it repeated by his followers, his minions? “Only Trump can stop the war.”
So, what’s my problem? Why get hung up on this specific lie? So many others:
I’ll reduce grocery prices.
And gas prices.
Mexico will pay for the wall.
Ukraine started the war.
I won the 2020 election.
On and on. The list is endless.
Trump is the “dealmaker.” The king-negotiator. No one can squeeze more blood from a turnip. Trump’s ground-breaking deal: Putin gets to keep all the land he stole.
That’s it? That’s what Trump boasted about? That’s his plan to stop the war? Any asshole could have come up with that. But only one did. Breaking news: Trump says Putin doesn’t seem to want peace! And why would he? If he gets to keep what he’s grabbed, why not keep grabbing?
Note: My mother-in-law and her parents emigrated from Ukraine to America at the end of WWII along with about 400,000 other ‘displaced’ Europeans.
