For those interested in his plan this is what he said last week: "I'd get Zelenskyy and Putin in a room together and tell them to knock it off"
I mean, it's worth trying :)
No, it is not. Even as a very bad joke.

If your house was invaded by a gang that said you have no right to exist, killed a bunch of your family member and pets, occupied 20% of your property while actively working to trash the rest...

Would you say the same thing when somebody says "put them both in a room", as if there was some equality?

Party A says Party B has no right to exist and is proceeding to systematically commit murder, torture, genocide, and numerous war crimes every day.

Party B simply wants to defend it's property and lives.

There is no room for negotiation other than to force Party A to GTFO.

Later, the negotiations can be about reparations if Party A wants to return to the civilized world.

Trump says many things, he's an idiot.
There's not a likely reelection campaign, he's running.
If he can do this, he has a moral obligation to do so. People are dying.
Whatever he says, it must not disagree with US pronouncements, else this post would have been flagged and removed.

That said, I believe he could end the war in one day, and probably even help end Nato, which most of the world wants.

Main problem is he would also bring "retribution" against many of us, and that whole thing about ending the world thru accelerated global warming is still a concern.

I'll take my chances with nuclear war, thanks.
