Donald Trump has brutal response to Putin after recent comments – “p****d off”

Donald Trump has not taken kindly to recent remarks made by Russian President Vladimir Putin about the ongoing war in Ukraine—remarks that appear to signal yet another obstacle for Trump’s widely publicized ambitions to broker peace between the two nations.

Though the U.S. President has faced continued scrutiny for his past comments lauding Putin—including claiming to have “always had a good relationship” with the Russian leader—recent developments suggest a shift in tone. The change follows Putin’s call for a transitional government in Ukraine, a move that would effectively remove Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy from power. It’s a proposal that flies in the face of Ukraine’s constitution, which suspends elections during wartime.

Trump, who vowed upon taking office in January to end the war swiftly, has repeatedly declared that he could broker peace “within 24 hours.” Now, 70 days into his effort, he’s confronting a major setback.

In an interview with NBC, Trump voiced his frustration over Putin’s latest demands, particularly the suggestion that Zelenskyy should step aside.

“If I feel we’re in the midst of a negotiation, you could say that I was very angry, p****d off, when Putin said yesterday that – you know, when Putin started getting into Zelenskyy’s credibility, because that’s not going in the right direction,”

Trump said, visibly agitated.
The U.S. President has made no secret of his intentions to take a hardline stance if Russia refuses to cooperate. He warned of significant economic consequences should Putin remain unwilling to reach a peace agreement.

“If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault – which it might not be – but if I think it was Russia’s fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia,”

Trump stated.

“That would be that if you buy oil from Russia, you can’t do business in the United States. There will be a 25% tariff on all oil, a 25- to 50-point tariff on all oil.”

This stern warning follows earlier threats by Trump to impose a “bad punishment” on Putin if the Russian president failed to agree to a ceasefire.

Trump’s positioning has drawn attention and controversy, especially after he recently described Zelenskyy as a “dictator who’s gambling with World War Three,” a comment that confused and angered critics. Though peace negotiations have reportedly seen some tentative progress, a full ceasefire remains elusive. Russia’s list of demands is widely seen as unacceptable by Ukraine, making a resolution difficult to imagine in the short term.

As the conflict drags on and Trump’s pledge to bring about peace faces mounting challenges, the world watches closely. With Putin pressing for leadership changes in Kyiv and Trump threatening severe economic retaliation, the path forward appears fraught with political and diplomatic complexity.

What are your thoughts on Trump’s involvement in efforts to end the war in Ukraine? Should the U.S. be playing a more active or restrained role? Feel free to share your views in the comments.
