Donald Trump, who publicly touts himself as a “dealmaker-in-chief,” is privately upset at his failure to strike deals to stop the two wars he has promised to end, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.

At a closed-door meeting with top donors at Mar-a-Lago last week, Trump admitted that the frustration he feels from his inability to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine keeps him up at night, people in the room told the WSJ.

He said that Russian President Vladimir Putin, who Trump has frequently claimed is negotiating in good faith, has been driving an especially hard bargain. Putin wants “the whole thing,” Trump said, referring to Ukraine.

      He paid someone else to write and read it for him and to tell him how it’s the best. Mission accomplished! It’s just a mystery as to why the deals aren’t piling up and likely Biden’s fault.

        It’s probably the fault of Obama, who was a DEI hire, obvs.

        Donnie and his dumbass cult will just NEVER get over Obama, by the way…

          You’re right. Racism is a tough drug to quit. To quit, it starts with recognizing one’s own racism. Sure, some racists know and are even proud of their racism. But most racists don’t know or understand how racist they themselves actually are. They think “Well I’M not racist!” and then think voting for the racist candidate is unrelated.

          I think most Donvict voters fall into two camps regarding racism: 1) They’re too naive to recognize that donOLD was/is a racist or 2) They don’t recognize their own racism. There’s a minority of them that are knowingly or blatantly racist.
