Bari Weiss’s 60 Minutes edited its latest interview with Donald Trump to make the octogenarian’s responses appear much more sane than they actually were.

During one exchange between Trump and host Ross Douthat on the topic of Ukraine, the staff at 60 Minutes decided to trim several sections of Trump’s response that included false claims or total fabrications.

    As he said:

    “No, it’s us. We’re supplying the weapons, Europe is paying for them,”

    He is tough on Russia and Europe.

      Tough on Russia by removing sanctions? By taking Putin’s side over our own intelligence agency? By constantly saying what a strong leader Putin is?

        The US have to split China and Russia to be able to contain China. If the US can win Russia over, their war with China and Russia will be less bloody for them because then it’s only China. So they don’t burn all bridges. Also, less weapons to sell to Europe if the war is over.

          So how is he tough on Russia again?

          There’s no eminent conflict with Russia because Putin is pulling the strings with Trump, and even should we get a non-comprimised President and Congress in the near future, Russia is crushed financially and militarily.

          China is a whole other problem, and certainly not one Trump has a grip on or even a strategy for.
