Trump called Russia's invasion of Ukraine a 'holocaust', completing a massive shift

It is simply amazing how Republicans refused to convict Trump for withholding aid to the Ukraine in return for political dirt. Even crazier is how so many Republicans eagerly voted for this racist dumb**s.

Former President Donald Trump described Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine as a "holocaust" and urged an end to the fighting there, in an abrupt shift from his recent praise for Russia's president.

In an interview Wednesday with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, Trump said Russia has to "to stop killing these people" and suggested that a deal could be struck with Russia to stop the fighting.

"We're watching a holocaust. We're watching something that I've never seen before, the way that they're going to go in — they're blowing up buildings with children, with women, with professionals, with people — think of just people," Trump said.

"They're blowing up indiscriminately, they're just shooting massive missiles and rockets into these buildings and everybody is dying."

he was in love with Putin about 6,000 times. You can't climb your way out of this one, you fucking moron.

Does he think we don't have all the evidence at our fingertips?

Or millions of Republicans voters from voting for him. Indeed, they might love the lies because he is “owning the libs.”

Easy. Like Trump's health care plan, Trump's infrastructure plan, Trump's (Kushner's) Middle East Peace plan, etc.

he is surprised? He is so transparent and a little desperate as well. Of course, he might be a bit surprised at Putin's brutality. Who knows what lies Putin told Trump about his intentions?

That is Trump in a nutshell. He talks a lot but conveys nothing, at least nothing coherent.

He is not intelligent. Likely never was. Just an average child born into a wealthy family. Sadly an emotionally abusive family that really stunted Trump's emotional growth and aided in him becoming a sociopath.

He really has no idea how to actually relate to people in a meaningful way.

His speech has always sound to me, like an approximation of human speech. Like the way an alien, with no idea of human values, traditions, and culture would sound.

It seems to me that the vast majority of the time Trump just says words that are related to a subject, but there isn’t really much thought put into the ideas behind those words. Didn’t some insiders basically say his “opinions” are much based on whoever he spoke to last?
