Trump's engaged in a penis-measuring, saber-rattling contest with Putin's goons. This can't possibly end well. [View all]
The explosive exchange began when Medvedev mockingly dismissed an ultimatum from Trump demanding Russia reach a Ukraine ceasefire within 10 days or face "debilitating secondary tariffs" on trading partners.
"Trump's playing the ultimatum game with Russia: 50 days or 10," Medvedev taunted on social media. "He should remember 2 things: 1. Russia isn't Israel or even Iran. 2. Each new ultimatum is a threat and a step towards war. Not between Russia and Ukraine, but with his own country. Don't go down the Sleepy Joe road!"
The "Sleepy Joe" jab clearly struck a nerve. Trump fired back early Thursday on Truth Social.
"Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let's keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he's still President, to watch his words. He's entering very dangerous territory!" Trump raged.
