Absolutely true. He's never blown far away from Putin though. To reverse the metaphor, Trump is like a deranged bird that keeps flying toward Russia even as an ill East wind occasionally blows him back West. He'll never reverse his flight. He's a bird brain.

Trump rages at Biden, judges in all-caps holiday message: ‘Happy Memorial Day to all, including the scum’

In an all-caps TruthSocial tirade on Monday morning, the president wished a “Happy Memorial Day to all” before his message went awry and devolved into an all-out attack against his political opponents.


“Including the scum that spent the last four years trying to destroy our country through warped radical left minds, who allowed 21,000,000 million people to illegally enter our country, many of them being criminals and the mentally insane, through an open border that only an incompetent president would approve."

Trump also addressed his clash with the courts and lambasted federal judges who have moved to block his administration’s policies, claiming they are protecting “murderers, drug dealers, rapists, gang members, and released prisoners from all over the world.”

Deriding the judiciary as “monsters,”...

“But fear not, we have made great progress over the last 4 months, and America will soon be safe and great again! Again, happy Memorial Day, and god bless America!” he concluded the message, which was deleted twice with spelling and spacing errors before it was finally reuploaded.

Trump’s first message of the day, however, saw him reshare a post from right-wing political commentator Rogan O'Handley, who argued that the Democrats should be charged with treason, peddling the baseless claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

In another TruthSocial post, Trump posted, “Happy Memorial Day!”

Russia Defies Trump With Largest-Ever Drone-and-Missile Attack on Ukraine

(Wally)

Russia overnight launched the biggest drone attack on Ukraine in the three-year war.

Sunday night's bombardment included 355 drones. The previous night, Russia fired 298 drones and 69 missiles.

"I've always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I'm not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. We’re in the middle of talking, and he’s shooting rockets into Kyiv and other cities."--Trump

Nothing "has happened" to Putin, this is who he always has been. Trump has always been willfully blind.

"We are really grateful to the Americans and to President Trump personally for their assistance in organizing and launching this negotiation process. This is a very crucial moment, which is associated, of course, with the emotional overload of everyone absolutely and with emotional reactions."--Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

That will be enough to keep Trump on the Russian reservation.

Trump also continued taking steps toward absolving himself of responsibility for ending the war, which he once said he could do in 24 hours, saying that the war [was] “Zelensky’s, Putin’s, and Biden’s War, not ‘Trump’s.’”
