10 years in the making': Analyst marvels as Trump has Putin epiphany

CNN's Dana Bash played a "very interesting" clip on Inside Politics of President Donald Trump admitting that he's been jerked around by Vladimir Putin over ending the war in Ukraine.

The clip was recorded during a cabinet meeting Tuesday, when Trump declared, "We get a lot of bull---- thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless."

That's not an epiphany, that's a stupiphany: When something obvious to the rest of the sentient universe if finally revealed to you.

Probably something wacko or absurd, like.

Putin calling him out.

Putin's blackmail was in the now-incinerated Epstein Files.

Putin missed a "services rendered" crypto payment.

Zelenskyy bought the good part of the files before destruction.

Who knows?
