Donald Trump is growing impatient with Russian President Vladimir Putin, publicly lamenting earlier this week the fact that Russia hasn't agreed to a peace deal with Ukraine.
Trump also promised new tariffs if a peace deal doesn't come in 50 days. New sanctions are on the table, too.

Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the real sources of the Democrats’ rage on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ Why are they so angry? Why isn’t this the old party of Bill Clinton? Or even the party of Barack Obama? One: They have no institutional power. They do not have the House. They do not have the Senate. They do not have the White House. They do not have the Supreme Court. They do not have the issues. There are 30/70, 20/80 issues. And they’re on the wrong side.
“ Put it all together and they’re mad, mad, mad. And they should be because Donald Trump threatens not just to take their power away, but the sources of their power.”
