Trump, who won reelection in November 2024 partly by claiming he could end the Ukraine war in one day, spent his first month in office posting cryptic messages on Truth Social about how the “deep state” was preventing him from implementing his genius plan. Now, with pressure mounting, he has finally delivered on his promise – by offering to surrender on Ukraine’s behalf.

I wonder if he thinks he can also ignore basic contract law on the international scale? Or is he maybe planning to send US troops to assist the Russians when the Ukrainians refuse to recognise his genius.

I'm sure he's prepared to promise anything to make his deal come through, but abandon those promises immediately afterwards.

That's how promises work, in his mind

This is how the orange man will stave off WW3, by uniting American and Russian troops against a common enemy!
