Good thing he doesn’t go on You Can’t do That on Television.

Donald Trump hasn’t been happy with Vladimir Putin lately, and he took out his frustrations with Russia’s president this week by announcing that the United States would resume sending military aid to Ukraine. When he was asked on Tuesday who ordered the aid to be paused in the first place, Trump delivered what has become one of his go-to responses whenever he’s pressed about the chaos his administration is unleashing on the nation and the world.

“I don’t know,” he said.

The pause on aid to Ukraine was apparently ordered last week by beleaguered Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who reportedly neglected to tell the White House about the move, leading to internal scrambling. Trump was asked whether he approved the pause while sitting next to Hegseth during a Cabinet meeting. The president only offered that the U.S. needs to keep sending “defensive weapons” to Ukraine because “Putin is not treating human beings right.” When asked who ordered the pause, Trump said he didn’t know. “Why don’t you tell me?” he added.

This would be far more amusing if he got slimed every time he said that.

Also, what kind of strongman doesn’t know what’s going on in his loyal junta?

    Donald Regan was very confusing to me at about that time my memories started to take.

    Regardless, Reagan had wildly different ideas on walls.

      I had no idea there was a Regan as well as my fictional Reagan. I’m going to start a Psychic Hotline, only $2.99 a minute. :)

        With inflation being what it is, I’d aim for $7.99 per minute. You’re leaving money on the table by going for '90s rates.

              You’d probably make more money selling “supplements” than a psychic hotline to be honest. Also, we have operators that can answer your question better, just call 1-900-4Sexy-AI.
