Trump Slammed For Claiming His 'Personality' Was What 'Kept Us Out Of War' When He Was President

In response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent invasion of Ukraine, former President Donald Trump and his allies have leapt to blame President Joe Biden, claiming it was Biden's so-called weak leadership that gave Putin the confidence to escalate tensions in the region.

They continue to insist that Putin never would have invaded Ukraine under Trump, who has referred to Putin's strategy as "smart" and "genius." Fox News host Jeanine Pirro said Putin never would've taken the step because he supposedly knew Trump would level Russia with retaliatory strikes.


Now, Trump himself says it wasn't fear of retaliation, but his "personality" that would've kept the peace between Russia and Ukraine.

Trump told a crowd of supporters at his recent rally in Fort Lauderdale, Florida:

"It was my personality that kept us out of war. I was the only president in four decades who did not get America into any conflicts, except I totally defeated ISIS. Other nations should not mistake Joe Biden's weakness for America's weakness. American power, American might, American leadership will soon be back and it will be back bigger and stronger than ever before."

Trump's claim that his administration defeated ISIS is questionable at best, and it's unclear what facets of his personality he believes kept the United States out of new conflicts.

Social media users scoffed at the claim.





And though Trump didn't start any major new conflicts overseas, his critics pointed to the toxic divisions his rhetoric imposed upon the United States.




Some would argue that it was also Trump's personality that lost him the 2020 election.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
