Trump: “Putin’s Not Going Into Ukraine, OK? Well, He’s There in a Certain Way.”
I’m really running out of words to describe this horrific human being’s venal ignorance. In the full interview with George Stephanopoulos which aired today, Donald Trump mixed up a word salad worthy of Sarah Palin, and appeared totally ignorant that Russia had already invaded Ukraine, starting two years ago.
“[Putin’s] not going into Ukraine, okay, just so you understand. He’s not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want,” Trump said.
Stephanopoulos pushed back, reminding Trump that Putin’s “already there, isn’t he?” Trump quickly changed the topic to Obama bashing.
“Okay — well, he’s there in a certain way. But I’m not there. You have Obama there,” Trump said. “And frankly, that whole part of the world is a mess under Obama with all the strength that you’re talking about and all of the power of NATO and all of this. In the meantime, he’s going away. He takes Crimea.”
Wow. What an incoherent mess.
