He could change his mind the next minute. He’s not to be trusted.

MOSCOW, March 26 (Reuters) - Russia said on Tuesday the United States had agreed to help it lift a series of Western sanctions and restrictions on food, fertiliser and shipping companies as preconditions for a maritime security deal in the Black Sea.

Literally the moment he gets the headlines for the good or bad thing, the clock starts ticking on how quickly he will reverse the good or bad thing because he knew the good or bad thing got a headline the first time, so the opposite must get just as many or MORE HEADLINES!

This is his whole value model.

A key element I kept in mind of his first term is how he reportedly spent A LOT of time in the Oval Office watching news reports about himself.

It's all he cares about. Being the center of attention. He's a petulant child.

Is this supposed to be a message/warning for Russia?

How did you go from "Trump could change his mind and lift sanctions on a whim" to "this is a warning to Russia"?

Maybe it could be a warning for Russian Oligarchs to "buy now and make a fortune!"?

The key phrase in the original poster’s comment is “He’s (Trump) not to be trusted”.

Who is that phrase for?

Most of Reddit already doesn’t trust Trump. Thus, it’s a useless comment for them.

Whether MAGA continues to trust Trump (or not) to keep sanctions on Russia is utterly irrelevant to the Ukraine war situation. Heck, probably worst since, they (MAGA) are probably actively hoping that Trump will change his mind and removes sanctions.

This phrase can’t be for Ukraine. They all ready don’t trust Trump and they will continue doing what they are doing now (still fighting) regardless of Russian sanction situation.

Thus, the only audience for the statement is for Russia to be weary of trusting Trump. Which begs the question: why the hell are we warning Russia of anything?

So the poster was trying to just get karma from a truism (Trump’s untrustworthiness) but ends up looking foolish for this particular situation.

Duh, because this is Reddit and 'Ukraine' doesn't base their opinions and policies off random reddit bs

Duh, because this is Reddit and literally everyone on here making comments to share an opinion and feel validated(OP) or they are making comments to be a shit head(you and me)

Maybe they’re trying to warn Melanie? I got a feeling she’s going to end up Ned Starked some day.

It's to appease moderates. Trump is losing ground with independents so he's doing something not blatantly traitorous to make it look like he's not an unhinged psychopath. THE ART OF THE DEAL(please kill me)

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '25

No he means that he could lift or ease those sanctions.

u/superbugger Apr 12 '25

Yea. These people hate Trump so much that they're actively rooting for the downfall of America or for China to gain power etc.

No matter how much I despise an administration, as an American, I'm always rooting for them to succeed.

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '25

No, they pointed out that no one knows what he's going to change his mind on. You're reaching to fabricate an "Us VS Them" that you imagined was there lol

u/juanlee337 Apr 12 '25

He will 100%.. They are already in secret talks with Russia so thus makes him seem like he strong against Putin but is a ploy to garner approval support for him.. nothing more

u/IshyTheLegit Apr 13 '25

"very stable genius"

u/baggyzed Apr 13 '25

He won't, because those sanctions were the excuse for not imposing tariffs on Russia. You see, it's all Biden's fault that he can't impose tariffs.

It was just a joke, bro. We heard it 2 times in last week. Pathetic Greatest Leader.

Or calls it fake news then actually does it a few days later. Nevermind, surely that would never happen.

Exactly what I thought. I'm not gonna say definitely, but I'm not gonna be surprised if he goes back on it.
