Ingraham has to correct Trump on Ukraine

Former President Donald Trump called in to Fox News Wednesday after Russia launched an air offensive in Ukraine but seemed terribly confused about what was happening on the ground.

Trump abruptly phoned in to Laura Ingraham's show shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military offensive seeking to overthrow the Ukrainian government. During the interview, Ingraham noted that the network had learned that "U.S. officials are looking at a potential amphibious landing now in Odessa, Ukraine," referring to a potential ground invasion of the city by Russian forces. Later in the interview, Trump mistook the comment to mean that the US was planning an amphibious landing and scolded Ingraham for giving away American plans.
