      Trump ran explicitly on ending the “war”. A lot of people knew it was bullshit but some people held out hope and voted for him.

        Except he was always vaguely hinting that by end the war he meant give Isreal everything they wanted therefore “ending” the war. Same with Russia and Ukraine.

          True, but vague hinting doesn’t tend to find its way to the headlines and newscast sound bytes that are the extent of information that an abysmally large portion of persuadable voters receive and base their vote on.

          That’s a BIG part of why Trump has ever been the least bit successful in spite of being an obvious fraud to anyone paying even slightly close attention.
