Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has invited former President Trump to his country’s war zone, saying the former president “can’t manage this war.”

Zelensky, who joined NBC “Meet the Press” Kristen Welker, responded to Trump’s claims that he could end the war with Russia in 24 hours.

“Former President Trump said that about 24 hours, that he can manage it and finish the war,” Zelensky said during the interview that airs Sunday. “For me, what can I say? So he’s very welcome as well.”

“President Biden was here, and I think he understood some details which you can understand only being here,” Zelenskyy continued. “So I invite President Trump. If he can come here, I will need 24 minutes.”

In March, the former president said he could “solve” the war in Ukraine in one day if he were reelected, noting that the negotiation process would be “very easy.”

The Ukrainian president said he would need just 24 minutes instead of 24 hours to explain to Trump that he can’t end the war as easily as he thinks he could.

Yeah, that's because Trumps idea of finishing the war is to just hand the country to Putin. He said he could end the war in 24 hours, not win it.

Trump visit a war zone? He’s too much of a coward to do that.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He wouldn't even visit a cemetery for our fallen WW2 soldiers because it was raining

[–] Cranakis@lemmy.one 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

.... Also because he's a traitor and a draft dodger with no respect for duty.

[–] Wodge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't forget it's also because he's an orange little bitch.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah he's fairly difficult to camouflage. I guess he'll have to wait until the Tango will start

[–] sik0fewl@kbin.social 42 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't believe he's allowed to leave the country.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think we should introduce a special condition where he's allowed to leave the country as long as the place is going is an active war zone.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

War zones and countries with extradition treaties.

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Will someone shoot his plane down or is it just on the honor system?

[–] sik0fewl@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think it's just the honour system, since I believe he still has his passports.

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I solemnly swear that I won't leave the country, no takebacksies (🤞).

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is Zelensky assuming Trump wants to end it favorably for Ukraine?

[–] Zippit@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Of course he is. We all know which side Trump is rooting for already.

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Trump doesn't understand foreign policy

I remember the video when a picture had to be taken with some EU leaders, it was so awkward to watch and actually disgraceful: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Iimj0j4NYME

And EU leaders gossiping about him was hilarious: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NEoOJ0uRskY

Sorry Americans, so sorry. We're not laughing at you we're laughing at this buffoon.

Edit: someone post a piped link, cause for the life of me I can't find it anywhere. Is it an app, is it a website? Too drunk and lazy at this point to find out.

[–] Shaolinraiden@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can laugh at us. We're paste drinking Clowns with automatic weapons. We are the land of Jack-ass 3D. By all means, point and laugh. We're a joke.

Aww don't be like that, America has brought the world so much good too. Like I'm literally watching cartoons/adult swim like to get me through tough times. We love you guys, but this buffoon has to go.

Harvey Birdman is a salve for the toughest times.

Someone already posted the piped -link, but in general, uou can make any YouTune link to piped link by replacing the youtube -part of the url to piped.video

Took me a while to figure that out myself.

"Trump doesn't understand ~~foreign policy~~ anything but selfishness"

[–] KinglyWeevil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

I've literally seen cats with more complex reasoning capabilities than Trump.

You could write an incredibly simple algorithm to accurately predict every single thing he does. He is not an actual person. He is not a human being. He's just a sucking black hole of narcissism. He's a creature of pure Id.

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 year ago

He's the epitome of a manager, he spent his stint at the White House running his mouth and desperately hoping somebody else would do anything that required more effort than posing in photo shoots, of course a war would've blown a hole through the pile of shit he calls a public appearance.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Zelensky, who joined NBC “Meet the Press” Kristen Welker, responded to Trump’s claims that he could end the war with Russia in 24 hours.

“Former President Trump said that about 24 hours, that he can manage it and finish the war,” Zelensky said during the interview that airs Sunday.

“President Biden was here, and I think he understood some details which you can understand only being here,” Zelenskyy continued.

In March, the former president said he could “solve” the war in Ukraine in one day if he were reelected, noting that the negotiation process would be “very easy.”

The Ukrainian president said he would need just 24 minutes instead of 24 hours to explain to Trump that he can’t end the war as easily as he thinks he could.

Zelensky added that peace can’t be negotiated with Russian President Vladimir Putin, even if Trump were to try.
