"Shooting the messengr" is a metaphoric phrase used to describe the act of blaming the bearer of bad news, despite the bearer or messenger having no direct responsibility for the bad news or its consequences.
There is no justification any more than he can justify the amount of money required to retrofit the plane given to him by Qatar. Nor is there any justificaton for paving over the Rose Garden.Edited for typo

Giving up Ukrainian territory is not up to Trump. Zelenskyy is not someone I believe will cave to Trump's cavaier terriroty demands. If Putin doesn't want to sit down with Zelenskyy, then it's Russia who doesn't want to end the war, not Zelenskyy.
I don't now how accurate this is, but I recently read that only about 60% of business are reporting empoyment figures. If that's the case, there won't ever be an accurate number.
I don't know what it takes for the world to consider a territory an independnt country. I would imagine that if a majority of countries recognize it as a separate state, Canadw will as well.
If he had any self-awareness, he would realize what a fool he is. He just pulls numbers out of his lowest porthole and expects everyone to believe they're accurate.

My OPINION is that there will not be a two-state solution by September 2025 because Hamas will not agree to the above terms. What else do you want to argue about?

Similar to many other MAGAs, Trump can't discern the difference between "backing" and "recognizing." His level of intellecltual comprehension is beyond limited which is why all those other intellectually limited MAGAs love him.
