Donald Trump has a recurring response when pressed for timelines: “within two weeks.” This phrase has become a hallmark of his presidency, used repeatedly in interviews and press conferences since 2017. From addressing the Ukraine-Russia war to potential actions against Iran, Trump and his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, often defer to this vague timeline. A viral video compilation highlights his frequent use of the phrase, sparking criticism. Critics argue it reflects his lack of concrete plans, with some suggesting it’s a tactic to buy time or avoid accountability.
The trend has drawn mockery and frustration online, with users calling it embarrassing and indicative of weak leadership. Meanwhile, recent polls show mixed approval ratings for Trump’s policies. Only 46% approve of his immigration handling, while 43% support his foreign policy approach. As the 2025 election looms, his habitual “two weeks” response continues to fuel skepticism among voters and critics alike.
