"I know exactly what I'm doing," the USA leader writes on the social network "Truth Social".

During his second term, Trump repeatedly called himself the"peacemaker in chief."

He also expressed dissatisfaction with the media attention to his administration.

"I have resolved 6 wars in 6 months, one of which is a possible nuclear disaster, but I still have to read and listen to the Wall Street Journal and many others who really don't know anything, telling me all the things I'm doing wrong about the Russia and Ukraine mess," Trump wrote.

He once again accused outgoing US President Joe Biden of the war in Ukraine - despite the fact that Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, is the aggressor.

"This is Joe Biden's war, not mine. I'm here to stop it, not to continue it. This would NEVER have happened if I were President. I know exactly what I'm doing and I don't need advice from people who have been working on all these conflicts for years and could never do anything to stop them. They are STUPID people with no common sense, intelligence or understanding and they are only exacerbating the current Russia-Ukraine disaster. Despite all my frivolous and very jealous critics, I will do it - I always do!" Trump wrote.

Delfi reminds us that in one of his posts on Truth Social today, Trump said that he was honored to host European leaders at the White House.

"Never before have so many European leaders been here at once," he wrote on his Truth Social account.

"A great honor for America! Let's see what the results are?" Trump wrote.

A delegation of European leaders is arriving at the White House on Monday at 7:00 p.m. Lithuanian time. Here, in the Oval Office, a meeting between V. Zelensky and D. Trump is scheduled. European leaders are also expected to visit the White House to explore diplomatic options to end the war in Ukraine. V. Zelensky has already arrived in Washington, Sky News reports that the plane of the United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also landed in Maryland.
