Inflation: Now he claims to have settled 10 wars!

REPORTER: Have you spoke to Vladimir Putin about the fact that a big US factory was hit in an airstrike in Ukraine?

TRUMP: I'm not happy about anything having to do with that war. I settled 7 wars, and actually if you think about pre-wars, add 3 more so it would be 10.

He is always quick to say. "It would never have happened if I had been in office", he flatly states.

I can imagine Harry Truman in 1945 saying, "That was FDR's war". He does not see Ukraine as a national interest but as a personal interest of Joe Biden.

5. I think he should be given the Nobel Prize in chemistry - he manufactures shit out of thin air.
