Donald Trump has been saying he can end Russia's war in Ukraine if he's President for a while now. His ideas are childish. Trump would have given Putin, who is a genocidal maniac, Ukraine in a New York second. Trump has stated otherwise ever since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Trump revealed his latest plan to end the war during an interview with what appears to be the back of a guy's head. It could be Glenn Beck, but that's not possible since the right-wing host called Trump a "dangerous man" in 2016.

"You have to get people in a room," Trump said. "You have to knock heads, and you have to get it done. That would mean saying things to Putin and saying things to Zelensky that they're not gonna want to hear and getting them into a room."

Boom! Problem solved. Just put them in a room, and the war is over. And they can hug it out, right? All of the war crimes that Putin's military committed in Bucha, and other cities, are forgiven. Just. Like. That.

Trump has been saying since the war started that he could end it.

"The Ukrainian conflict should never have happened, and would not have happened if I were President," he said in 2022. But as I have made very clear for quite some time, this could now end up being World War III."

Last year, Trump reportedly told a group of Republican donors in New Orleans that the U.S. should paint Chinese flags on its F-22 planes and then use those planes to bomb Russia.

"And then we say, 'China did it, we didn't do it, China did it,' and then they start fighting with each other, and we sit back and watch," Trump said.

Trump called Putin smart last year and criticized the U.S. response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"I mean, he's taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I'd say that's pretty smart," Trump said at the time.

Yeah, you should sit this one out, buddy. We fired him for a reason.
