Donald Trump has said it may be better to let Ukraine and Russia “fight for a while” rather than pursue peace immediately, as the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, urged him to increase pressure on Russia.

During the Oval Office meeting, Trump voiced doubts about the potential success of peace talks, saying “sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart”.

The US president said he had told Vladimir Putin that the two countries were like “two young children fighting like crazy in a park” when the two spoke by phone on Wednesday.

Putin’s reaction is not known, but the Russian leader would probably welcome the US agreeing to his previous calls for Washington to stay out of the conflict and stop providing military aid and support to Ukraine.

2. Taco has no plan. Stalls and delays with usual gibberish.

All he wants is the adoration of his jumbled mass of miscreant bobble heads.

3. End it on DAY ONE!!11!!1!!!!

Trump campaigned on ending Ukraine war on Day 1. Now he said it was in ‘jest’

Fact check: It wasn’t ‘in jest.’ Here are 53 times Trump said he’d end Ukraine war within 24 hours or before taking office

7. The man is a complete idiot

They’ve been going at it for some time now.

If he wasn’t hoping Putin daddy will win he’d get involved today.

Was very pleased to see Merz correct some of his bullshit to his face. He looked like an ignorant schoolboy who was being shown his stupidity in front of the entire class. In this case the entire world.

9. At least he's consistent

He always says something imbecilic. Bootlicker for pootin. I'm starting to wonder if a russki agent took out Ivana. She "left" at such a convenient time. There are reasons why the orange imbecile fears pootin.

10. For a while?

Ukraine and Russia have already been “fight(ing) for a while.” 3 years, in fact, you idiot!
