Trump frequently comes away believingwhat the last person he spoke to said. It's one of his defining characteristics. We'll see how long this sticks.

I think he probably has dementia. It makes it easier to have him do stupid shit, easier to influence, but also makes it harder to stop him once he fixates. Also easy to manipulate can very much backfire.

Soon they'll all be falling over themselves to appease the mad king. I hate this so much.

I really hope we actually give Ukraine full fucking support. They deserve it.

Maybe it's just that Trump's tiny mind can only hold one thought at a time, so it fixates on the last thing that was said to him.

You nailed it here. Nothing more to it.

I was thinking that the sudden, impromptu nature of the Pope's funeral left Putin unable to prep Trump full of disinformation just before.

Trump is weak-minded and repeats whatever someone just told him. That's why so much power resides with whoever controls access to Trump.

Maybe it’s just that Trump’s tiny mind can only hold one thought at a time, so it fixates on the last thing that was said to him.

There is no shortage of evidence to support this this conclusion.

But it’s also possible that he is being actively manipulated by foreign actors

This too. No reason both can't be true at the same time.

trump literally the deep state controlled puppet conservatives are so scared about (hyper-rich control said administation)

That video of him sitting in his desk like a ignored elder while Elon(with his effin kid) talks to the media in the oval office gave me strong puppet vibes

Its a ploy to prevent being impeached, the protests are working and they are scared.

Ratings. Flip flop Trump sees that he’s not liked in the polls and will flip and flop without hesitation.

He only knows what the last convincing person said to him -- IF -- IF he's had a sliver of doubt about Putin's loyalty to HIM. Putin's lack of giving T a ceasefire that T needs to appear to accomplish something does that.

What's funny is T is literally the last person in the country to get to this realization. But hey, maybe he got there, right?

Someone who used to wear an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time.

Language can vary, we take it for granite alot of the time.

Someone participating in the scheme.

Honestly makes me think if they could get Melania out of the White House, it might be more effective than getting Trump out.

Ehhhhhhhh Trump had just had a nap.

I cannot fathom saying something so incredibly naive after the mountains of evidence of Trump's character and thought process.

HA

I'm pretty sure the dead Pope wouldn't ask for more respect to be given to him than to the living people of Ukraine and to the thousands of Ukrainian people who have died to defend a free Europe.

Sideline meetings happen all the time. It's not a new thing. World leaders can show compassion for the deceased and handle their shit all in the same day.

Perhaps, but I think Pope Francis would have given his blessing if there was even the slightest chance of it leading to a lasting peace.
