Donald Trump was asked who halted arms shipments to Ukraine and his answer is a jaw-dropping insight into the workings of the White House right now

Another day, another jaw-dropping moment emerges from Donald Trump’s White House. In fact, there were quite a few coming out today but we’ve only room for one right now.

It’s the so-called President being asked about arms shipments to Ukraine which will resume after the export of some critical munitions was halted last week.

And the answer, to CNN’s estimable Kaitlan Collins, is a terrifying insight into who exactly is in charge right now.

Trump has no idea who stopped supplies to Ukraine… meanwhile in the past month he’s redecorated the cabinet room, picked out where to put in a new flag pole, and is designing a new area for the rose garden to throw parties.

Who’s president while Trump’s playing first lady? https://t.co/bbN4SbwopY

Nothing inspires confidence like a President who doesn’t know who, why, or when critical weapons shipments were temporarily halted …
