Trump Warns Putin May Need To Be Dealt With Differently

President Donald Trump once again showed true leadership Saturday morning, criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s continued assaults on Ukraine and making it clear that new tactics may soon be necessary to bring an end to the conflict.

Speaking from Rome just before Pope Francis’ funeral, Trump took to Truth Social, condemning Putin’s reckless missile strikes on civilian areas and suggesting that Putin might have to be "dealt with differently," possibly through aggressive banking measures or secondary sanctions.

Key highlights from Trump's powerful message:

• Trump suggested a shift in strategy if Putin continues to escalate violence, calling into question whether the Russian leader is truly serious about ending the war.

• He ripped into the Obama administration, rightfully blaming it for allowing Russia to seize Crimea without resistance, a blunder that Biden’s team has done nothing to correct.

• Trump made it clear he alone has the strength and credibility to broker a lasting peace, warning that delays are costing countless innocent lives.

Earlier that morning, Trump met privately with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at St. Peter’s Basilica. Both leaders described the meeting as "very productive," a marked difference from previous strained encounters under Biden’s weak watch. Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, also held high-level talks in Moscow with Putin’s advisers, making notable progress toward reopening direct peace negotiations.

Meanwhile, Washington insiders continue to spin their wheels. Despite a bipartisan bill introduced by 50 senators proposing additional sanctions against Russia, it’s clear that without strong executive leadership, sanctions alone are little more than political theater.

The facts tell a sobering story:

• Under Biden, the war has dragged on endlessly the U.S. has funneled over $113 billion into Ukraine since 2022 with no end in sight.

• Civilian casualties have climbed to over 30,000, according to UN reports, underscoring the urgent need for competent leadership to negotiate an end to the bloodshed.

• A staggering 17% of Ukraine's land remains under Russian control, a grim legacy of Democrat failure to stand up to tyrants.

Trump’s vision is refreshingly clear: negotiate peace from a position of strength, protect American interests, and stop the needless loss of life. While Biden continues to nap his way through history, Trump is out working deals and putting America back at the center of global stability.
