President Donald Trump says he was “being a little bit sarcastic” when he repeatedly claimed as a candidate that he would have the Russia-Ukraine war solved within 24 hours — and before he even took office.

Sure, but all of his sycophants believed him.
That's the problem.
They believe whatever he says.

This potato of a man doesn't possess the wit required to comprehend sarcasm, let alone produce it.

Trump doesn't understand anything. He just lies and lies. When called on his lies its always a joke.

Oh, I guess I'm also being sarcastic when I said I wanna become an IRL Agent 47 😏
- Step 1 - shave your head.
  Step 2 - barcode tattoo.
  Step 3 - ???
  Step 4 - Profit!

Remember when I lied and said I have a great job, a lot of wealth, and love outdoor activities? I was being "sarcastic."

Can this fascist geezer hurry up and die? I will make a special trip back to America to piss on his grave, after the fascism dies down.
- I'll have a high-fiber diet in the days before my visit to his grave.
- I legitimate don’t know if I prefer the couch fucker over frumpy.
  
  MAGAts certainly prefer Trump over JD Vance or any other republicans because he has some form of charisma and ability to sell his dogshit policies as something good for them.
  Meanwhile Vance can't order donuts without looking like a wet rag.
  So I'd reckon that public opinion would worsen even more if Trump were to die.
  
  And Mark Johnson is 3rd in line. The entire line of succession is more infuriating than the TV show by the same name.

Aaaahhh, I want to hit his ugly face so bad my hands are itching. I want to see teeth flying out of his mouth, I want to see him cry.
Right, violence is never the answer, but rarely are men quite as deserving of a beating as this piece of shit.
- Violence never solves problems, it only replaces them with new ones. However, at certain times in human history, violence has been used to replace an unsolvable problem with several solvable ones.
- "violence is never the answer" - German people after Night of the Long Knives.
  
  So you’re saying beat the shit out of him and decide if it was a good idea afterwards?
- Violence is the only alternative to fascism. You can't negotiate with people who only negotiate in bad faith. The only end to fascism is to end fascists.
- Violence solves nothing, as long as you ignore pretty much the entirety of human history.
  
  A random man met in texas once told me: "unlike what your mommy told you, violence solves things".

The Narcissist's Prayer
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
- Signs of an abuser:
  Dominating conversations
  Suggesting they are the victim
  Isolating the victim
  Acting as if they own their partner
  Lying to make themselves look good
  
  I think you've also described virtually all corporate employers.

He said that while campaigning to become President. It's a campaign promise. If he didn't intend to promise it, then he shouldn't have said it.
Also, it seems Trump doesn't understand what sarcasm is.
- I didn’t think he had the depth to be sarcastic.

This prick is gonna get Ukraine into a half-assed short changed deal, then claim a peace prize while zelenskyy rots in a Russian prison like Navalny. Fuck trump.
Slava!

Say the truth out loud: he lied, plain and simple. As always.
- But I heard he tells it like it is??? lol.

"See, if I am right about something, i was right about it from the start, even if I never said anything about it, ever.
If i am wrong about something, i was clearly making a joke, was sarcastic or, on purpose, exaggerated the issue.
It's your fault, if you don't understand or recognize what i do."
- Far too understandable. More gibberish, please. Maybe something about codfish.

He lied. He's always been man enough to lie but a coward never to take responsibility for his lies.

Was he being sarcastic about egg prices too?
- We're not supposed to talk about egg prices.

If he speaks its a lie.
- And if he accuses someone of something, he is absolutely doing that very thing.
  And if he says “Nobody knows” he really means “I don’t know.”
  And he never laughs. What a psychopath.

It was a hyperbolic statement by someone who is engaged in constant hyperbole (which is the word he meant even if he's too stupid to know it). I'm going to give this one to him and blame any idiot who actually believed him. Also price of eggs but that one is sticking to him and I love that for him.
- It's not hyperbole. It's outright, incessant lying.
  Hey, fundies! Do you know enough about your own religion to know who's said to be the father of lies?
- Trump doesn't do hyperbole. He's a narcissist. He genuinely believes his own bullshit. It only becomes hyperbole/sarcasm/a joke/a negotiating tactic/[insert some other excuse] when he comes up short against his own limitations and reality.
  
  I don't think the two are mutually exclusive, but I'm not going to fight about it. I'm sure as hell not here to stand up for him. I'm just way more pissed at the people who look at him and see leadership material than I am pissed at Trump for being Trump.
  Everyone knew exactly who he was and fucking chose him. What an indictment of our society that this was even possible.
- People now are saying 'oh he doesn't mean it' and 'its just a negotiating tactic', 'he's just trolling' about trying to annex Canada and Greenland. It's one of his manipulation tactics, where noone can ever be sure if he's serious or not, which gives him an advantage in that he can advertise the most shitty actions in advance and its still a shock when he does them, and he always has plausible deniability if he doesn't do them. 'Duh, it was obviously just sarcasm! As if trump would use the richest man in the world to dismantle the government!'

Aww, the diaper baby crimes president thinks he knows what sarcastic means.
