Yes, I just read that this morning. Very disorganized thinking on Trump's part, like his plan is "Miracle occurs here".

Unless Trump is the "Miracle Maker"!

I wouldn't put it past him.

He is the "king" of America these days.

And I think we all know what kind of King he is...

Trump doesn’t know who made, or attempted to make, a major policy decision on Ukraine.

Perhaps Trump should find out and have a conversation with him or her as to who exactly sets policy in these matters. Right now the shadowy culprit appears to be Eldridge Colby.

Well, here's a different viewpoint. I think it's a little giddy after Iran, but it doesn't hurt if Putin is thinking this way.

This reminds me of when, in his first term after failing over and over to repeal Obamacare, Trump said ‘nobody know health care could be so hard’, when really everybody except for him knew.
