If Trump Recommends Ukraine Vote, But We’d Still Have To Pay to Call the Trump Tower
So, the former president just dropped a memo for President Zelensky: “You need an election to keep any peace,” according to Trump. He says Ukraine has been under “martial law” for so long that the country’s folks feel like they’re stuck in a war‑perma‑life, and it’s an odd‑ball point to push when the political dance floor hasn’t even moved.
“We’re in a Situation with No Elections”
Trump paints a picture where the leader in Kyiv has a 4% approval rating. That, combined with the claim that Ukraine’s theater of war has “blown to smithereens,” is basically the dark note in the conversation. He’s even pulled out a bizarre analogy—“if a country has to give up almost all land to win peace, would the U.S. give up Florida or NY for Putin? The UK for the Isle of Wight?”
He Isn’t Exactly Setting a Fair Template
In a way, this sounds less like a roadmap to sovereignty and more like a stand‑up routine where the punchline is: “We’re supposed to keep elections, but we’re stuck in a battle arena.” That line comes from many different corners, but trusting Trump alone might feel as if you’re listening to a comedian on a bad highlight reel.
Not a Russian Bargain – but a Trump Day After Day‑long
“No, this isn’t a Russian compromise,” Trump says, yet the logic behind it is self‑contained, which is why it’s “quite incorrect” if we’re talking about an international standard. The bottom line: the world hears the same old argument that Ukraine ‘needs a seat at the table’ if the people haven’t held an election in years.
- Your country may be on fire, but a democratic vote is the orthopedic waiting time you’re already swimming for.
- Trump’s remarks look like a political echo that isn’t fact‑checked or fair to call to the number of fire‑fires that have erupted.
- Would the U.S. give up Florida to get peace? No, but the country might help to expedite the agenda for a civilization that might be prepared to lose its best American cards.
Bottom line: Ukraine should keep trying to put this democratic process back in the spotlight, even if the world doesn’t throw a bomb in the middle of a good time, instead of reaching out for it.

Trump’s Bold Take: Ukraine “Shouldn’t Have Started the War”
In a recent press‑con, President Trump shot down any blame he could assign to the U.S. for the Ukraine conflict. He turned the spotlight—but not in the way one would expect—on the Ukrainian side.
“I Don’t Know How Anyone Even Lives There”
Trump greeted the room with a bewildered laugh, declaring: “I don’t know how anybody even lives there.” He went on to say Ukraine could’ve handed over almost all of the land without any loss of life or city destruction—an offer, apparently, that was “not even invited to the talks.”
Arrogant Claim About Negotiations
He apparently thought the Ukrainian leaders had been “excluded” from key discussions, adding, “Because you were there for three years, you should never have started it. You could have made a deal.” Trump certainly has a unique way of recounting history!
Opposing the Statistics
- Trump admits he “trusts” Zelensky only 4% of the time.
- Reality check: the Kyiv Independent, citing the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, reports 52% trust in President Zelensky as of December 2024.
Bottom Line
Trump’s narrative remains an outlandish mix of personal opinion and outdated “facts.” Meanwhile, data shows the Ukrainian public is actually pretty supportive of their president—quite a different story from the former U.S. president’s claims.
