We all know Donald Trump has no strategy, no consistency and no direction. Trump went from telling Volodymyr Zelensky he had no cards, to he could win the war and claim all the territory back and back to having to cede territory to Russia. Trump’s lack of vision and haphazard approach leads to reactive efforts and a lack of cohesion. Imagine actually having to work in the Trump Administration, he changes his mind frequently and has no actual policy, it would be exhausting.

So now that Donald Trump has had a phone call with Vladimir Putin, the White House meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky was never going to go well. Trump typically changes his tune based on who he spoke to last, so even though Zelensky met with Trump in Washington, a two hour phone call and chance of a meeting with Putin in Budapest has Trump salivating again. Trump wants to use the Presidency for personal enhancement again, to be the centre of the negotiations whilst lacking genuine negotiating abilities.

Putin has been making Trump look stupid, we finally started to see Trump working this out, Trump was getting played. Now Putin wants to have another meeting with Trump, so his fragile ego wants to be massaged on the world stage in a highly promoted meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. So the Europeans will need to go on another charm offensive to get Trump back on track, clearly he has a limited intellect and a short attention span. Trump went from Ukraine winning territory back and getting Tomahawk missiles to freezing the invasion where it is, cede territory and Russia gaining control of the Donbas region.
