No he wasn't joking. He just doesn't understand how anything really works. He thought he could just order Ukraine to cave in and it would happen. Like he was ordering a huge order of mcdonalds in for a high brow meal.

also he's downstream of russian propaganda. russia says the war in Ukraine is NATO's war. so Trump's plan to bring peace to Ukraine was simple: just stop fighting. what he didn't account for was the operational reality in Ukraine that who's fighting is Ukrainians who are defending themselves from a russian initiated genocide.
