Trump warns Americans of all out war if this demand isn’t met
Donald Trump is taking the bull by the horns. But there have been some speed bumps along the way.
Now Trump warned Americans of an all out war if this demand isn’t met.
Averting a Global Crisis
On Tuesday, President Trump raised the stakes, suggesting that Americans “could be” drawn into the Russia-Ukraine conflict if it balloons into “World War III.”
In a revealing sit-down with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle, the 78-year-old leader laid out his vision for de-escalation. “We want to get it over with,” Trump declared, signaling his impatience with the ongoing war.
Fresh from a nearly two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump welcomed Ingraham to the White House.
He shared that while Putin shot down his proposal for a full, unconditional cease-fire with Ukraine, the Russian leader did agree to halt strikes on “energy and infrastructure.”
Trump told Ingraham, “Right now, you have a lot of guns pointing at each other and a cease-fire without going a little bit further would have been tough.”
Russia’s Edge and America’s Role
The president didn’t shy away from the battlefield realities, noting Russia’s upper hand. “Russia has the advantage, as you know they have encircled about 2,500 [Ukrainian] soldiers,” he claimed.
“They’re nicely encircled and that’s not good.” Trump’s push for a cease-fire, he explained, is about keeping American boots off the ground in a conflict that could spiral out of control.
“Look, we’re doing this – there are no Americans involved. There could be if you end up in World War III over this, which is so ridiculous,” he reasoned.
With a hint of foreboding, he added, “But, you know, strange things happen.” Trump’s conversation with the 72-year-old Putin, which he called “great,” covered “a lot of things toward getting it to peace,” along with other unspecified topics, showcasing his knack for high-stakes diplomacy.
Leading with Strength at Home
Later in the interview, Ingraham pivoted to a domestic dust-up: Supreme Court Justice John Roberts’ rare public rebuke of Trump’s social media demand for U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s impeachment.
The issue? Boasberg’s temporary block on using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged migrant gang members. Trump brushed it off, saying, “Well, he didn’t mention my name in the statement. I just saw it quickly. He didn’t mention my name.”
Unfazed, Trump leaned in: “But many people have called for his impeachment. The impeachment of this judge. I don’t know who the judge is, but he’s radical left.”
He framed the deportation of criminal migrants and suspected gang members as “a presidential job … that’s not for a local judge to be making that determination,” reinforcing his stance that decisive leadership—whether abroad or at home—is what keeps America secure.
