Donald Trump says he is ‘very angry’ with Vladimir Putin over Ukraine

Distraction.

He’ll often use contradictory actions/statements to distract from things that are true but politically disadvantageous/unpopular.

For example, he said he’d have an easier time dealing with Canada’s new Liberal PM than the Conservative shitstain running for office.

This is false - he lies about this to help the Conservative and project strength when he knows full well our new guy will mop the floor with him.

In this instance his ties to Putin are unpopular and he’s pulling some real terrible shit to help Putin with Ukraine. So he distracts by saying he’s mad at Putin.

It’s really easy to spot when you look at what he does through the lens of bad wrestling or reality tv story writing.

Donald Trump [...] threatened to levy tariffs on Moscow

again tariffs? he really thinks that they solve everything, huh? Russia don't care about sanctions, that negatively affects russian citizens, would they care about tariffs, that's a tax 100% paid by american citizens??

Got a good roll on dementia, for once

The US president indicated he would levy a 25% or 50% tariff that would affect countries buying Russian oil in a telephone interview with NBC News, during which he also threatened to bomb Iran and did not rule out using force in Greenland.

LMFAO. What a loose cannon.
