A President of the United States still echoing Putin's talking points.
I can just imagine him if he saw Red Dawn back in 1984 - "I don't know why those kids didn't just surrender when Soviet, Cuban and Nicaraguan soldiers landed in Colorado. The war was clearly over."
The only good thing is he despises losing and there's no way Russia can sustain the current campaign against their O&G by the Ukrainians, and they damned sure can't cover it up, so he'll look like an idiot when Russians are standing in line for gas and can't heat their homes this winter. The flip side is we are apparently doing to Venezuela what Russia tried to do to Ukraine, and that's exactly the kind of thing Trump understands - hostile takeovers.
I would like to think Zelenskyy knew they wouldn't get Tomahawks (it's been obvious for a while) but wanted something lesser so by asking for something he can't get he gets something lesser, and Trump thinks he's snubbing him by giving him something lesser. But it didn't sound like anything productive other than the US continuing to give up leadership of the free world.
As somebody pointed out, "We went from all of Ukraine to surrendering, to the four oblasts and Crimea to now just Donetsk lol"
