To be fair, everything Trump does is a mistake.

Trump simply is a mistake.

u/Joran_Dax 9h ago

I generally refer to him as a waste of oxygen. But mistake works too.

u/-SaC 2h ago

He should have been swallowed.

u/Cum_Smurf 6h ago

The USA is a mistake. The French, Spanish and Dutch should never have armed nor financed them in their war of independence.

u/meeyeam 2h ago

I dunno if I'd go that far. The British monarchy didn't exactly have the best track record.

32

u/Khaldara 9h ago

His voters are the dumbest people to ever walk upright. The ‘Cold War Conservatives’ are busy out here being Putin’s personal cock holsters

31

u/totallyRebb 9h ago

Its sabotage and treason. They know exactly what they are doing.

The Trump administration has been an active foreign sponsored Saboteur Team operating in broad daylight from Day 1.

America should have a mechanism where if all former living presidents of sound mind agree to depose the current president then they can do so.

Or we need to actually impeach Trump and get that fucker out of office. And anyone he endorses. Trump is poison to America and the world.

8

u/dwninswamp 6h ago

I get wanting to impeach, but that’s not enough.

If he isn’t prosecuted and sent to jail, along with those who committed similar offenses (fraud, bribery, obstructing Epstein investigation, insider trading) then America has no laws. Getting impeached with 4 billion in profits, lifetime immunity, and a grievance he can grift from isn’t a punishment… kinda sounds like his ego driven paradise.

u/DaisyShirt 5h ago

Agreed. First president in prison! Let’s gooooooo

2

u/modakim 7h ago

"For the Watch!" Honestly I just hope the Dems have a spine after the midterms and we then elect president who trashes on the GOP rather than any measured, filtered approach

u/paulsteinway 6h ago

It doesn't count if he does it on purpose.

2

u/ktreanor 5h ago

Everything he does is self motivated.

u/darkstar107 7h ago

You spelled Krasnov wrong.

u/69upsidedownis96 4h ago

The birth of that fat clown was a mistake.

u/Potential-Yogurt-689 1h ago

No it's not a mistake, this is all completely deliberate.

127

u/OneNormalBloke 9h ago

It's not just a mistake, it's treachery.

50

u/KingoftheMongoose 8h ago

It’s literally overturning Congress’s law to aid and abet an aggressor and adversary while turning our backs on an ally.

Betrayal. Treachery. Treason. That’s what it is. No other way around it.

u/StrangePenalty6676 8h ago

Then what are you waiting for?

(Assuming you're American)

(If not, join the growing club of people that start to realise the American people are letting this happen)

41

u/Kjb72 9h ago

Not a mistake, a hostile act.

33

u/The_Glum_Reaper 9h ago

When one aids an aggressor enemy against a besieged state in order to bring harm to the innocent, they are at best, a traitor to the people.

52

u/Bodster88 9h ago

That’s a polite way of putting it, Zelensky.

His father not pulling out was also a mistake.

10

u/Difficult-Hope5003 8h ago

It's called "diplomacy". Something Trump can't even spell, let alone do.

2

u/ChiefInternetSurfer 8h ago

“Diplomacy…It’s an old word, not many people are familiar with it, but I am, because I’m exceptionally smart, I aced the iq test three times. Aced it. Aces are great, you know? Some people don’t realize it—I do—but some people don’t realize that an ace, can either be the highest or the lowest card. Great card. The best. Like me, I’m the best. But I like it. It’s a fine word.”

14

u/Grave_Knight 8h ago

It's not a mistake, it's corruption. Trump doesn't care about Ukraine. Or America. He cares about money and fame.

1

u/etrore 2h ago

Why does everyone let him?

•

u/Ntroepy 50m ago

Because he’s extremely petty and vengeful. While many elected republicans love him, he uses fear and intimidation to ensure every single Republican stays in line.

Also, elected republicans have reported numerous death threats against the FROM THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS whenever they disagree with Trump or, especially, if Trump calls them out.

13

u/unchangingtask 8h ago

Trump is a Russian stooge.

11

u/alpastoor 7h ago

So much of the coverage seems to focus on what a bad deal Trump has struck when it’s way more likely that we are all being mislead and we actually have no idea what Putin really promised Trump. The diesel is just a cover story. My guess based on the timing (and I sure hope someone can dig up some proof) is that Trump is so scared about how deeply unpopular he and his party is polling that he’s hit up Putin for billions of dollars worth of online disinformation campaign support ahead of the election in exchange for lifting sanctions and capping Starlink.

1

u/0x0MG 4h ago

I'm pretty sure it was in exchange for keeping quiet with some damming shit that would be disastrous weeks before the midterms. Otherwise, the timing doesn't make any sense.

Like... Trump killing a hooker or fucking a child or something of that caliber - neither of which would really come as a surprise to any of us.

That pee tape has Been doing some work

u/-SaC 2h ago

The latter of which I don't think would move the needle too far for his supporters.

I suspect a number of them would see it as permission.

8

u/SoundwaveOiA 8h ago

Just call it for what it is. Treason

7

u/zaqwert6 7h ago

You're going to have to suck it up and just accept the fact that you are now fighting Russian in the United states. The question is what is the rest of the world going to do about it if anything?

7

u/Boris_636 8h ago

Trump is just following his GRU handlers instructions.

6

u/Most-Artichoke6184 6h ago

It wasn’t a mistake, it was intentional.

6

u/steve_ample 9h ago

And that's the toned down language version, that word "mistake"

5

u/ArgentineBeauty 9h ago

Hope he reverts from Traitor Trump back to Taco Trump and reverses his support for Russia

u/TrickshotCandy 6h ago

Turns out the better leader, is the ex comedian/actor who sometimes wears a suit.

12

u/ZenMusic13 9h ago

How the US exists and how their people accept it like good little servants is the mistake.

3

u/bootup25 8h ago

How does removing sanctions help end the war?

3

u/black_metronome 8h ago

It's not a mistake, it's a deliberate act

u/OcSpeed 6h ago

Not a mistake, treason

u/troelsbjerre 9h ago

~~Zelensky Calls~~ Trump's ~~Sanctions Waiver~~ a Mistake

FTFY

u/Scro86 7h ago

I call it treason

u/Cultural-Company282 3h ago

We have been raised all our lives to believe in a governmental system of checks and balances, but then the Legislative Branch goes to check the Executive Branch, the President just ignores it, and nobody bats an eye.

1

u/Basic_Improvement135 1h ago

But the legislative isn't checking him

•

u/Cultural-Company282 1h ago

Passing Russia sanctions were a check on Trump, who otherwise is trying to give Putin everything he wants.

•

u/Basic_Improvement135 1h ago

And trump ignored it

•

u/Cultural-Company282 1h ago

That's what I was just saying; duh

•

u/Basic_Improvement135 1h ago

You expect me to follow the entire conversation 3 beers in?

u/GreenSouth3 9h ago

nothing more needs to be said

u/Tabbyredcat 8h ago

Normal person says logical thing

u/Kevin6419 8h ago

Ukraine and Zelensky just have to offer Trump something and he’ll change is mind just like that!! My suggestion is free diapers for the rest of him term….

1

u/lalalatkes 8h ago

There are much stronger, more accurate words to describe it, too.

u/jpiro 7h ago

Ladybug Graham is dead and Trump is still humiliating him.

1

u/lebronswanson4 6h ago

Another mistake

1

u/workhardEGS 5h ago

Everything with Trump involved is a mistake. So utterly incompetent!

1

u/jaymp00nz 4h ago

Trump in general was a mistake. His birth probably was a mistake too.

1

u/LeonTrollski1 4h ago

Trump being born was a mistake.

1

u/PidynMwyaf 3h ago

What is to stop every other country that the USA was going to sanction for not sanctioning Russian oil from doing the same thing?

"Do what I say not what I do" is not a very convincing foreign policy.

u/AloneChapter 3h ago

trump is getting something in return. He doesn’t do anything without a return. This is how he runs a company into the ground.
Me me me and afterwards more of ME

u/5kyl3r 2h ago

trump always chickens out

trump also always lies. i'm sure someone around here is keeping the tally but the list is quite large of campaign promises. virtually zero kept and most actually went in the other direction from their promise

1

u/Sir_Squidious 2h ago

So do most Americans. Our "dear leader" is siding with our enemy. It's a fucking disgrace.

1

u/LouisSeifert 2h ago

Wer hätte das gedacht 😂

1

u/xroche 1h ago

In other news, letting nazi Germany invade Poland was also a mistake, yes.

America, you should be rioting against Trump.

1

u/TheSchlaf 1h ago

Zelensky, agent Krasnov doesn't make mistakes.

1

u/TyhmensAndSaperstein 1h ago

EVERYBODY is calling this a mistake. I say its straight-up treason. He's unable to connect the dots beyond one step and realize what he's doing is fucking disgusting. He can't see beyond one action.

1

u/Niceguy955 1h ago

Probably said something harsher, and then tuned it down to "mistake", hoping to still get something in the future from the orange traitor.

•

u/Potential-Yogurt-689 1h ago

It's not a "mistake" Casino Mussolini wants you to lose, he will do everything he can to make that happen,

u/redsaeok 4h ago

I mean, let’s call it what it is, the American citizenry is now pro Russia.
