Trump says US might make Patriot missiles available to Ukraine.

There's no doubt, his tone has softened towards Ukraine and hardened towards Russia in recent months. It's incremental, but it's there.

His driving fear WRT Russia was Putin's launching nukes at Mar-a-Lago. Fiona Hill showed that.

Now that Putin's shown that he's all bluff, Trump’s not so afraid of him anymore:

For about 10 minutes

I’m sure that will last for days. Then one of the Russian plants in his own admin will speak to him for 5 minutes and he will flip again.

He's always more agreeable with the last person he's spoken to.

He'll flop around as his foul moods churn and cause all sorts of chaos. But you're right, it is progress.

I genuinely think Putin wounded him. Trump wanted to be "friends" with the mass murderer, thought he'd get favours for easy headlines.

But Putin doesn't give a shit. He wants his new empire.

Nonsense Lewis. As a seasoned politics follower you must know how capricious Trump is and how you can’t actually go by anything he says. After his next conversation (and it does matter who he has last spoken to) with Putin- watch his tone change - again

Do you think he's switching over to Daddy Netanyahu now that Putin increasingly looks like a loser?

goldcaro.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe the arse-kissing will be worth it. I hope so because I’ve felt queasy all day

Incremental? I'd say more excremental...

martinrobertson.bsky.social•3 days ago

you must be an idiot if you believe a single thing this rambling, incoherent lunatic says

Meet me at midnight under the Brooklyn Bridge for your receipt…🤭

Putin will be rapidly arranging a phone call with him so he says the exact opposite the following day

macfalconer.bsky.social•3 days ago

This will change once he's back in USA.

Per chance was the lady reporter he was talking to pretty?

Trump says that the Fed Chairman Jay Powell is an "average mentally person."

slimwasherman.bsky.social•3 days ago

Weren't there aren't?

litterygeniarse.bsky.social•3 days ago

Takes an average mentally person to know one.

bigdaftdad.bsky.social•3 days ago

He always talks down stuff he hasn't got.

a1957.bsky.social•3 days ago

What does that make Trump and did Trump say this because the Fed Chair annoyed him?

nico0511.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well all three are words…it’s the Andre Preview of sentences

bobmedley.bsky.social•3 days ago

But he could probably form a coherent and grammatically correct sentence.

amitkota.bsky.social•3 days ago

everyone's a critic

adrianday.bsky.social•3 days ago

It takes one to recognise one, as my Dad would say,

chasmanthium.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump says a lot of things - all the time. A journo's job is to point out which is the bullshit.

areyouthefarmer.bsky.social•3 days ago

Easiest job in journalism in that case; just quote everything he says verbatim.

jane52.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t need a journo to tell me Trump talks nonsense

oldbogger.bsky.social•3 days ago

Something for Trump to aspire to

gillow.bsky.social•3 days ago

😂😂😂

Powell has the chance to do one of the funniest things ever at the next Fed meeting when they talk interest rates.
