US President Donald Trump said he knows exactly what he is doing regarding ending Russia’s war against Ukraine. He emphasized that he does not need advice, according to his post on Truth Social.
Trump said that he had resolved six wars in six months, one of which could have led to a nuclear catastrophe.
"…yet I have to read and listen to the Wall Street Journal, and many other who truly don’t have a clue, tell me everything that I am doing wrong on the Russia/Ukraine mess, that is Sleepy Joe Biden’s war, not mine," he wrote.
Trump reiterated that if he were the US President, Russia’s war against Ukraine would not have happened.
"I know exactly what I’m doing, and I don’t need the advice of people who have been working on all of these conflicts for years, and were never able to do a thing to stop them," the American leader stressed.
He attacked critics, calling them "stupid people with no common sense, intelligence, or understanding, and they only make the current Russia/Ukraine disaster more difficult to fix."
Earlier, Trump posted on social media that fake media and Democrats would find a reason to criticize even if Russia surrendered.
