“Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever,” Trump says in an excoriating post aimed at the Russian president.
Eh, a few days from now Trump will say something like “I had an amazing call with Putin. He is a great guy, Ukraine should surrender now”.
Dude can’t remember what he said yesterday.
X is great, they’re the best, nobody was ever like X, absolutely tremendous.
or
X is gonna do what we want, they have no choice, we’ll make things very painful for them if they don’t.
or
X has gone absolutely crazy, just awful, the most terrible things that have been done in terms bad things, they must pay!
… dementia riddled mob boss tactics.
The rhetoric is always 110%, but the underlying tactic just flips around like a weather vane in a hurricane… because Trump literally is not capable of long term, strategic thinking.
He’s just good at bullying people.
tl:dr; Trump is almost always bullshitting and saving face at the same time, because he doesn’t understand or believe in anything other than the appearance of wealth and power.
He is the manifestation of the id of the American ruling class, a ravenous, screaming toddler that only wants MORE, with none of the carefully crafted corpo-chic lingo that makes them seem intelligent and respectable.
Dude has had his mouth permanently attached to Putin’s crotch for close to a decade. This is either him trying to save face or straight up bullshit.

Over a decade. I can remember him during the bush administration praising him.
This just is Trump’s ‘negotiation’ methodology.
Its either:
X is great, they’re the best, nobody was ever like X, absolutely tremendous.

He’s been in the Russians pockets since the '80s
Evidence is mounting.
He doesn’t like being called out for being Putin’s bitch. So now he’s trash-talking Putin with all the credibility of a WWE beef.
Think Wrestlemania dialog. Theatrics. All of it.
He got what he wanted. He probably got intelligence that either Putin is getting out of power one way or another.
He is utterly neurotic, for good and for bad
