Never trust a politician when he says "i will do X in 24 hours".
But i have to defend Trump here - there was really no possibility that he would end it in 24 hours (or a week, or a month). Whether the war in Ukraine ends or not isn't something to be simply "decided" by the US president during an afternoon. There are many groups that are very interested in keeping the war going, some of which seem to be thinking they can just wait for Trump to leave, and then Ukraine can be fully rearmed again.
The EU in particular is obsessed on tanking itself and grinding its economy to the ground just so Russia doesn't win. By handling the entire situation the way he does, Trump is probably taking the best course of action, and (intentionally or not) accelerating EU's implosion.
After all, if they're so insistent on it, there's really no other choice than to let the eurocrats sink the entire thing.
And I'm sure Putin doesn't mind the US using the war to sign some military contracts and to get a few more deals going, as long there is no backstabbing involved there (like giving Ukraine long-range missile systems to strike into Russia). He knows very well how politics are played, and everyone cares only about themselves.
He has been somewhat under the weather, because of... the weather. :D
Doesn't mean what he sees is not true - in that moment.
Even if his interpretations are affected by how he feels, or he's picking up the feelings coming from other people, it's still better to be mentally prepared for the worst than to end up like the deer in the headlights.
And some of the things he warned about before did not happen precisely because he was talking about it, so the politicians had to change their plans and "prove" the clairvoyant incorrect.
Thus, what is true in one moment might stop being true in the future.
