Donald Trump is a hard person to read at times. I am not one who typically says that Trump is playing 4-D chess. When he does something moronic, he is usually just being a moron. We don’t have to go looking for a deeper explanation.
A post on Truth Social about Ukraine really brings up a question of whether Trump is insane or playing 4-D chess. Maybe it is both. Maybe it is that Trump is insane and thinks that he is playing 4-D chess.
Trump says in his post that Ukraine “is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.” He goes on to say that Russia has been fighting aimlessly and that it makes them look like a paper tiger.

Trump concludes that, “We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them.” When Trump uses the word “we” like so many other politicians, he means the taxpayers.
The comments made by Trump are so incredibly out of touch with reality, it makes it seem as if he is trolling.
The Only Way to Oppose the War Hawks?
Perhaps Trump is in over his head. He has surrounded himself with war hawks. He hasn’t made any significant progress on ending the war in Ukraine because he keeps funding Ukraine. It is the same way that the mass murder in Gaza continues because Trump and Congress keep funding the Israeli state.
Maybe Trump is tired of fighting the war hawks and figures he sees no way to beat them. Therefore, he just makes outrageous comments by essentially doubling down what the war hawks say.
This would be like Ron Paul saying, “After studying the issue more, I believe the Federal Reserve can do a great job of centrally planning the economy. The Fed should drop interest rates to zero and start up the digital printing presses again. More monetary inflation won’t lead to higher prices or misallocations. The Fed is in a great position to give us a booming economy.”
Of course, Ron Paul tells the truth, so he wouldn’t say this. But this is the vibe you get from reading Trump’s post about Ukraine. He is being so ridiculous by saying that Ukraine can gain back all of its territory when the Ukrainian government is losing the war to Russia. It is as if Trump is saying, “Yeah, go ahead with your plan of keeping the war going. We’ll see how that turns out.”
Why Doesn’t Trump Just Tell the Truth?
Trump’s social media platform is called Truth Social, but he doesn’t seem to be very truthful these days. Either Trump is delusional and lying or he is purposely lying.
If this is a trolling post, why doesn’t Trump just come right out and say that Ukraine has no hope of winning the war? Why doesn’t he cut off funding? Why doesn’t he say, as he has kind of said in the past, that Ukraine isn’t in a position to negotiate right now?
If Trump isn’t completely delusional and this is a sarcastic post, then it means that Trump is really scared of the neocons.
This has seemed evident when it comes to Israel. Trump is Netanyahu’s little b**ch. He does whatever Netanyahu orders him to do. Trump is completely controlled in this sense.
But apparently Trump is just controlled on foreign policy overall. If he can’t stand up to the war hawks and call out this charade in Ukraine, then he is useless at best.
Trump has said some good things in the past on Ukraine, but he continues to fund the conflict. He also fails to ever mention the U.S. government’s role in sparking the conflict.
We seem to always get back to the question of whether Trump is just stupid or evil. Maybe the deep state is making threats against him and his family. Trump is allowed to speak in opposing climate change and some cultural issues, but he dares not speak against the U.S. empire.
If Trump isn’t stupid, he is a total coward because he won’t stand up to the deep state. If he is being threatened, then maybe he should just resign.
If Trump thinks he is playing 4-D chess on the Ukraine issue, he is losing badly at it. Maybe he should try just telling the truth on Truth Social. He is either a coward or a fool. He’s probably both in this case.
