During a Cabinet meeting on Jan. 29, Donald Trump once again praised Vladimir Putin as “very nice” while announcing a supposed diplomatic achievement. Apparently, he convinced the Russian president to pause attacks on Kyiv for a week. Yes, for a week. How kind.
Citing “extraordinary cold weather,” Trump told the meeting that Ukraine is facing the same “record-setting cold” as the U.S. Calling it “a big pile of bad weather,” he claimed that Ukrainians “have never experienced cold like that.” So, being the kind person he is, Trump phoned Putin despite discouragement from his officials.
