This epic Donald Trump ramble was so off-message even Fox News tried to cut him off – 18 slack-jawed and totally on-point responses

If you’ve ever been stuck on the phone with your father-in-law late on a Sunday morning, you know exactly how these Fox News hosts felt when they asked Donald Trump a simple question. After asking a question about land swaps, the hosts had to settle in and listen. For a full minute and a half. To an answer that did not ever at any point come within a square mile of answering their question.

Have a seat, make it a comfortable one, and listen.

BREAKING: In a shocking momemt, Trump reveals that despite meetings with Putin and Zelensky, despite reality, he still blames Ukraine for Russia’s invasion. “You don’t take on a nation that’s 10 times your size.”

If you’re counting at home, that’s 7 attempts at interrupting the president before they can finally get in a word. And also, if you’re counting at home, that was one total and complete non-answer about the peace summit that he was on the phone specifically to talk about.

Here’s how the internet felt.

1.

While Trump fumbles facts, Putin’s savage invasion of Ukraine reveals him as a bloodthirsty tyrant hell-bent on erasing a sovereign nation.

Trump’s only plan was always to gift Russia as much Ukraine he could get away with. He’s not only a felon, he is also a traitor to this country.

He’s so a danger! He can only think in short bites and “in the moment”. He can’t ever take anything he’s said forward because he doesn’t remember it!! Holy 25th Amendment batman!

Very strange view. Zelensky did not ‘take on’ Russia. Ukraine is defending itself from a Russian invasion.

Why is it so impossible for tRump to accept the fact that RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA started the war and is totally responsible for this horrific conflict and tragedy! Unbelievable!

I’m not surprised. “You should give in to a bully” is Trump’s life motto.

No matter how many facts are provided to Trump his brain keeps going into neutral and all logical reasoning is abandoned. We have a President who cannot provide the leadership that is necessary today more than ever before.
