“Two weeks” has been Trump’s go-to self-imposed deadline dating back to his first term, when in 2017 he said he would present a “phenomenal” tax proposal in two weeks. Regarding the Paris climate agreement that year, Trump said he would decide whether to withdraw within two weeks. In 2020, the president said he would sign into law a new healthcare bill that never happened in two weeks. That same year, Trump promised action on a potential minimum wage increase within two weeks. Last June, he said he would decide whether to act against Iran within two weeks, before ordering strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities two days later. And on trying to end Russia’s war on Ukraine, Trump has repeatedly given two-week deadlines to achieve various milestones to stop the war, which is ongoing.
