President Donald Trump said he is “strongly considering” issuing large-scale sanctions and tariffs on Russia to get a ceasefire and settlement deal on the table to end the war in Ukraine.

Apparently nobody told this idiot that we already have massive economic sanctions and embargoes on Russia, and have for 3 years. This performative shit won’t work.
Lol this is even funnier because his sanctions from 2018 in his first term are still in place, I believe.

Putin must have reminded him not to be too obviously on Russia’s side.
lol this!
This is entirely performative. You don’t threaten to sanction banks and give investors time to pull their money, and it’s not like Russia cares about investing in our rapidly declining market anyway.
If Trump was ‘so concerned’ about Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, he’d reinstate intelligence.
And they will be as big a failure as Bidens sanctions.
