Jordan Klepper sees the strategy in Trump’s Ukraine pivot: “ You cannot lose a war if you are on both sides ”
Donald Trump suddenly seems to think that Ukraine can win his war against Russia – perhaps even go out – and the host of “The Daily Show” Jordan Klepper sees the winner in the superb pivot of the president.
“It’s no secret that Donald Trump sympathizes with Russia in his war against Ukraine,” Klepper said on Wednesday evening, the Central Broadcast comedy. “He blamed Ukraine for being invaded. He reprimanded his president at the Oval Office. And he made the ultimate gesture of friendship to Vladimir Putin, coming to the airport. ”
But a fun thing has happened on the UN path – Trump has reversed its position, saying: “Ukraine would be able to resume their country in its original form and, which knows, perhaps even further than that.”
“Shit,” noticed Klepper. “Trump has gone from,” Ukraine must accept the Russian invasion “to:” They must invade Russia “.
Trump campaigned to end the Ukrainian-Russia conflict on “first day”, as Klepper noted, “and instead, we have now joined both sides. I guess you cannot lose a war if you are on both sides. ”
And if you don’t like the unexpected turn of events, maybe wait a minute.
“Now, let’s not react excessively here,” said Klepper. “Trump is not exactly known for his coherent positions. He could just as easily change camp tomorrow if he, I don’t know, compliment himself by a Russian lady or sees a photo of this dog who looks like Vladimir Putin.”
Klepper suggested that Trump may have changed his position “after understanding the geopolitical implications of the situation better. Or maybe it was something a little more personal. ”
After rolling Trump images greeting Putin on a red carpet in Alaska, “The Daily Show” cut a clip of the speaking president this week:
“I thought it was going to be the easiest because of my relationship with Putin. But unfortunately, this relationship did not mean anything,” said Trump with casualness.
It rolled the crowd.
“This season of ‘The Golden Bachelor is [bleeped] weirdSaid Klepper.
