Trump unveils 'plan' to end Russia's war on Ukraine--and it's dumb as hell [View all]

Donald Trump on Wednesday teased that his plan to end Russia's brutal war against Ukraine is to put tariffs on Russian goods and put sanctions on the country, the latter of which the United States is already doing.

"If we don’t make a 'deal,' and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, following a lie-filled screed about the "Russia Hoax" and his great relationship with brutal Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.

"Let’s get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with!” he added. “We can do it the easy way, or the hard way - and the easy way is always better. It’s time to ‘MAKE A DEAL.’ NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!"

Tariffing his way to peace is not likely to work. That's because Russia and the United States are barely trading at all right now because of the war.
