For me, a candidate’s claim of what they will do is sufficient when they have unilateral control over doing it. For instance, I believe a claim to sign or veto a specific type of bill. I don’t tend to believe that they will make the economy good, avoid recession, close all the tax loopholes, etc. Do you: a) believe candidates when they claim they will be successful at things not entirely in their control b) believe Trump but not others (like Kamala) when they claim they’ll do things not entirely in their control c) think that a Russia-Ukraine peace negotiation would be entirely in Trump’s control d) see some actions that are entire in Trump’s control that you are confident would cause peace e) other
I’m not convinced Trump will succeed and I’m worried by what he would be ok with to reach peace but it is true that he made happen things that seemed unlikely (no war, leaving Afghanistan, korea meeting), nevermind if this meant negotiating with terrible people.
So if you don’t care about Ukraine and want the war to stop, I’m also under the impression that Trump is your best shot.
Why do you believe that Trump will negotiate a peace?
Because he says so.
