I wonder if he actually got their representatives to try to negotiate anything, or if he literally just said there would be a cease fire in the hopes that the two sides would feel obligated to follow through once it was publicly announced.
Call me a pessimist, but have a feeling the twelve hour ceasefire, that starts in both six and 24 hours (and lasts two weeks, probably) might have been made up.
Any other president this would have been a scandal. With Trump it’s just a Tuesday. I said this right after the election but I do feel that one day Trump or someone in the administration will say something very racist like an outright slur and nothing will come of it. My one hope is that when he dies this sound bite is played over and over.
