The return of the ugly American?


As Vladimir Putin "sets the stage for large-scale offensive operations this summer," reengineers the Russian economy for producing military hardware only, bombards Ukraine with "exploding drones" and is planning "to attack with swarms of more than 500 long-range strike drones on a regular basis," behold this latest abridged collection of Trump's pronounced cluelessness, self-contradictions and erroneous certainties as he stumbles around in a much smarter, fellow authoritarian's bailiwick: Given Trump's indefatigability in always doing the wrong thing, he now says he'll sanction Russia no further and, as a reward for Putin's invading, brutalizing and relentlessly bombing Ukraine's women, children and elderly, he welcomes the prospect of Russia doing some "largescale TRADE with the United States."
