Yup, I ate this onion. I hate reality.

I mean... he already said it about Ukraine, it is entirely possible he'd say this about Poland.

The problem is any mental thing people can make up is something he could easily have said.

If this was true, I'd just say yup. Sounds like something he'd say.

He's more likely to say that US fought on the wrong side in ww2.

incidentally (or not) this underlines a deliberate function of trump's negotiation strategy-- to promote uncertainty which protects his position from precise scrutiny. this comes up in hypernormalisation a british docu as a deliberate part of putin's strategy- to keep your opponents always guessing.. its a form of obfuscation that we see in every day life when it comes to news media, social media, and so on- its a very common trick today and i think its as important as ever to get a handle on the material realities of the world under the cover of all this smoke.
