Now they are considering abandoning the peace talks soon if nothing is resolved. In other words, they don't succeed in agreeing to Putin's version.
 
Putin is notorious for stabbing the flesh until landing steel. Trump to Putin is no more than a fat and juicy pork kabob to be skewered and then slowly barbequed along with his fervent.
 
A few relevant notes.

If there were no Reagan, Bush and Trump tax cuts — which primarily benefited the wealthy — there would be no national debt now.

Trump is totally clueless about how tariffs work. This is Economics 101, but a tariff is a tax on imports. So the company who brings merchandise into a country pays the tariff. In turn, that company can either "eat" the tax payment, divide it between themselves and the end user, or pass all of the tax payments on to the end user. As I said, a tax. It makes things more expensive. Thus more inflation.

Trump stupidly thinks the country from which the imports come pays the tax and imagines there are billions of dollars in payments rushing into the Treasury each day. He has no clue where those payments (which are far less than he claims) come from. He makes idiots look smart.

Kennedy's perspective on the COVID era and the decay of the Democratic Party was spot on — But that's where it ends.

If freedom of religion is as important as he suggests — why foster animosity against Islam? It couldn't have anything to do with the Zionist propaganda that seems to have "captured" the biggest decision making sector in the US Government — Congress. Could it? Anyone with a heart and an IQ over 40 can plainly see that the campaign against Gaza by the US backed Israeli IDF is ethically unsupportable. So clearly there's a double-standard there.

I also couldn't help but cringe at Kennedy's sycophantic approval of Trump, conveniently overlooking Trump's repeated pronouncements to end wars and not start new ones — neither of which he's kept his word on, driving inflation up, costing jobs, and causing division between allied nations with his tariff wars.
