After
Ah yes, Trump has “learned more” and “changed his position.” Trump has not however learned to stfu when he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, which is always.
President Trump on Tuesday shifted his position on whether Ukraine should hold out for all the territory seized by Russia, saying on social media that he thinks Ukraine is in a position to win it all back.
Social media of course is the perfect place to air his uninformed musings.
It’s a reversal from his long-held position that Kyiv would need to give up some of its territory to Moscow to end the war – such as Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.
But now, “after getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation,” Trump said he believes Ukraine – backed by the European Union and NATO – can win back all its territory.
Ah. How fascinating. He admits he didn’t bother to get to know and fully understand the sitch before picking a side and sticking to it. We knew that, but it’s helpful of him to confess it in writing.
Trump seems to go with whatever he was told by the last person he spoke to. I have no doubt that a call from Putin will have him 180ing back.
He and Zelensky had a long conversation. My guess is that Zelensky told him that he could swing the Nobel Prize for him – in fact 2 Nobel Prizes, for literature as well as peace.
Possibly a third Nobel Prize for economics with his super-genius tariffs.
If nothing else, he might qualify for a whole slew of Ig Nobel prizes!
But he can’t take a joke, can he. So he might just nuke Boston if they tried giving him one. Speaking of which, I wonder what will be his reaction when he does not receive the real Nobel Peace prize. Perhaps slap a 500% tariff on Norway? We will know in less than two weeks, I think.
Ugh. Came back here and discovered that gremlins have taken a bite of my brain so I can no longer spell Nobel Peace Prize correctly!
Harald, I assumed you meant the Nobel Appease Prize. The last winner was Neville Chamberlain, so a second winner after so many years would surely be immensely satisfying for all.
Tim, that’s a great interpretation! I’ll run with that and reject the gremlin hypothesis.
No no it was a pease porridge hot joke!
