Donald Trump’s only just realised that he’s being played by Putin – 9 downright damning comebacks
It’s taken Donald Trump a long time – a very, very long time – to come to this conclusion, but it’s finally dawned on him that Vladimir Putin might not actually mean what he says.
Trump, who famously declared he’d bring an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine within 24 hours, still hasn’t come any closer to peace breaking out than when he first returned to the White House.
And Trump’s realisation of what his Russian counterpart is really like is so belated as to be excruciatingly embarrassing for him. Well, it would be if the US president had a glimmer of self-awareness (so no, then).

You don’t say, Donny!
And these people surely said it best.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reasons to believe that @realDonaldTrump is a fool.
But the fact that it took almost a decade for him to figure out that Putin has been playing him for one is as good as any. https://t.co/NM4GexHG54

Wow, it only took Trump nine years to figure out Putin might not be shooting straight with him. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

You have to be pretty naive and stupid to be surprised by any of this. https://t.co/k1SJd8sQNv

Uhh Poor Donnie… He thought he could just talk to Putin and end the war in a day. But, it turns out Putin is a bit mean to him. What a joke

Let’s suspend our disbelief for a second, and pretend Trump is not being disingenuous (I know, I know)– how stupid do you have to be to finally come to this conclusion after dealing with Putin for years??? https://t.co/gSZDvT5YyU

My eyes rolled so far back on this that I was worried they wouldn’t roll around. He can’t form a thought or sentence.
