Trump says he was being a ‘bit sarcastic’ when he promised to end Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours

1y 3mon ago by reddthat.com/u/Xatolos in news from apnews.com

President Donald Trump said Friday that he was “being a little bit sarcastic” when he repeatedly claimed as a candidate that he would have the Russia-Ukraine war solved within 24 hours — and even before he even took office.

Trump was asked about the vow he repeatedly made on the campaign trail during an interview for the “Full Measure” television program as his administration is still trying to broker a solution 54 days into his second term.

“Well, I was being a little bit sarcastic when I said that,” Trump said in a clip released ahead of the episode airing Sunday. “What I really mean is I’d like to get it settled and, I’ll, I think, I think I’ll be successful.”

Narcissist's Prayer

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

No you were a lying Orange Turd. Like you always are.

He doesn't know what sarcasm is.

He thinks that’s what failure is.

I think he might think it means exaggeration? He keeps trying to use it that way

Oh the intent is for sure shitty, you can be sure of that, whatever the specifics

Probably. He's so incredibly stupid so that might very well be the case.

better economy? juuuust kidding

What do you mean? Eggs are a buck a dozen and tariffs paid for childcare. The stock market is at all time highs. You wouldn't belive your lying eyes, would you?

You forgot the /s

That's not what sarcasm means.

A little bit ironic, don't ya think?

Lying sack of shit

So if he said "I'll end the war in 24 hours" sarcastically... Then he was mocking himself?

So many Ds of chess 🧐

Sarcastic is a new word for lying then? 😏

Sarcasm? Just straight up lying.

trump doesn't have the mental capacity for the use of basic sarcasm. yet another lie

This man has never made a real joke in his life.

Was he sarcastic about egg prices, too?

so.. change meaning of words when you fail...

Oh, what a sarcastic man. I never knew such sarcasm.

How is that sarcasm? It's exaggerating if it's anything. Did the meaning of sarcasm change?

Or maybe he's right. Maybe it's sarcasm because he intended to escalate the war.

Trump: I'm totally gonna end that war in 1 day. Yep. Gonna end that war and definitely not escalate it. /s

Like, THAT would be sarcasm. So I guess he's admitting he had no intention to end the war? Obviously not. He just doesn't know what sarcasm means apparently.

what a joke of a man

TIL lying = sarcasm.

So he's was either dumb or lying either shouldn't be done by a world leader.

Oh haha jk jk
