"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful," Trump said on "The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show." "He used the word 'independent,' and 'We're gonna go out and we're gonna go in and we're gonna help keep peace.' You gotta say that's pretty savvy."

He seems to get lost and say that Russia is negotiating with….Russia. At least that’s how it sounds to me.

"The Fake News is also saying I called Putin a 'genius,' when actually, and to be precise, I called his build-up on the Ukraine border before the war started genius because I assumed he would easily be able to negotiate a great deal with Russia," Trump said in the written statement.

I really believes that he has no concept of the term "lie." He has gotten away with it all of his life so it must be a winning strategy.

Most of us would be humiliated to be caught in, in public, in an outrageous lie. That kind of emotion would be unimaginable to Trump.
