US President Donald Trump angrily said he is “not happy” with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and that he is considering further financial measures against Moscow following a series of deadly drone and missile strikes against Ukrainian cities.

"I'm not happy with what Putin is doing. He's killing a lot of people, and I don't know what the hell happened to Putin," Trump told reporters in New Jersey as he prepared to fly back to Washington on May 25.

"I've known him a long time. Always gotten along with him, but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don't like it at all," the US leader added.

Trump watched Fox news for 4 years while Biden was President, had friendly relations with Putin in his business life and never showed up to any intelligence briefings pertaining to Russia invading Ukraine. He's so stupid it has taken him 3 years to figure out the invasion wasn't what Putin was telling him.

That would be... horrifyingly effective. Just the thought makes me want to bleach my brain

I agree completely. I think he really thought he had Putin's respect.

Trump's the guy in Hooters who hasn't realized that women will pretend to like him for tips.

Based on what I know of him, I think he really *is* bewildered. He was so stupid and enamored by Putin he couldn't anticipate that he would do something that makes him look like an idiot holding a sagging bag of dog shit.

“I thought he was going to win so I backed him. Now, it looks like he’ll lose so I’m going to act like he changed and pretend I was against this all along. Please, give me credit for ending the war in Ukraine no matter who wins.”

Didn’t trump make a big show of snubbing Ukraine and denying any further aid in their effort to stand up to “crazy” putin?

I am shocked, I say shocked. Who could have predicted this sequence of events that has been totally uncharacteristic certainly in the last 3 years and beyond in the last 11.

Trump should try to figure out who the commander in chief is and FIRE him - clearly that dude is not all there.
