Do you understand? As crazy as it sounds." This is being reported by Aaron Rupar. Apparently it happened as the Europeans filed in for their photo and "roundtable".

I guess trump is still on his sugar high from Friday. He is not reality based to put it mildly. Our only hope is that the Europeans are able to talk some "sense" into him.

This story is confirmed by a story on nbc.com now. So it did happen!

1. These talks are for Putin, not Ukraine.

It's political and economic theater with no intention
of a decent peace deal.

2. I have to hope that the Europeans

have good motives here. If nothing else, their own security demands it.

4. I think they had to make an appearance on the world stage.

But now they know what they have to do since Trump is
Putin's bitch and his dementia is so bad that he literally
can't bring anything understandable or useful to the table.

3. I often ask myself,

"Is he really this stupid, or is it me? Am I missing something? Is this some sort of strategy, as sick and twisted as it may be?"

But now, the answer has been revealed in perfect clarity, because if he thinks Putin wants a peace deal for HIM he's nuttier than even I thought.

I ask you, how can a man who has not a single friend in the world and serially fucks over anyone who has ever been close to him or done him the slightest kindness think that a ruthless dictator would make a decision about peace in Ukraine based on his amicable feeling towards someone like him?

Yes, he's even more stupid than I suspected.

5. Yes

exactly. And to say that in a crowded room with the Europeans around. Shows how delusional he is.

7. He's demented....

literally

6. Confirmed by NBC.

This is reality, scary as it is.
