President Donald Trump made a few gaffes during his news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and then again during his larger meeting with European leaders who support Ukraine over Russia.

The flubs were not lost on observers who watched on as Trump made unusual statements and reactions before ultimately losing the president of Finland, who was sitting directly in front of him.

Podcast host and SiriusXMProgress co-host Bob Cesca called Trump "Mr. Magoo."

..."The two presidents have formed an unexpected bond, exchanging texts and calls at odd hours. The wonkish 57-year-old Finn might appear to have little in common with Trump: He champions the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, speaks five languages and warns about the threat from Russia.

Fortunately for trans-Atlantic relations, Stubb is also an excellent golfer.

His burgeoning friendship with Trump, which began on a West Palm Beach golf course almost five months ago, has vaulted the little-known Stubb into a back-channel role with the U.S. president—and made him a key conduit for European officials seeking to influence Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday.

Working with officials in Berlin, London, Paris and Kyiv, Stubb has been picked to communicate Europe’s views to Trump, sometimes in back-to-back calls with Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky."..... (more)
