The topic was the Russian war against Ukraine. The entire Western alliance of free nations is united in supporting Ukraine against Russia&#8217;s aggression. So is President Biden and the Democratic Party. So naturally, Trump has taken a knee-jerk opposition to the pro-Ukraine stance and is, as usual, backing his hero, Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52623\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s \u2018Solution\u2019 to the War in Ukraine is to Appease Russia and Quash Any Criticism of Putin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The conversation Trump had with his media minion Kilmeade revealed once again that Trump&#8217;s sympathies lie with America&#8217;s enemies. He has proven, as he invariably does, his devotion to the <em>&#8220;America First&#8221;<\/em> doctrine that he rants about incessantly. To clarify, that&#8217;s the <em>&#8220;Blame America First&#8221;<\/em> doctrine. He began by exposing his pitiful ignorance of world affairs&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Trump:<\/strong> Ukraine is a much smaller military, you have to remember. And now they&#8217;re using tactics and don&#8217;t forget those tactics are going to get a lot worse. And importantly &#8211; I call it the <em>&#8220;N&#8221;<\/em> word &#8211; the nuclear word. People get a little angry when I say that. Don&#8217;t get angry. It&#8217;s the biggest threat in the world today.<br \/>\n<strong>Kilmeade:<\/strong> Do you think he&#8217;d uses them. There&#8217;s a story that Putin wanted to use them and his inner circle stopped it. Do you think Putin would use nuclear weapons?<br \/>\n<strong>Trump:<\/strong> Well, I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;ll stand for losing. So in some form, maybe limited form &#8211; but to think we&#8217;re even having this conversation. You know, you never mention the <em>&#8220;N&#8221;<\/em> word. Either one. You never mention the <em>&#8220;N&#8221;<\/em> word or the <em>&#8220;N&#8221;<\/em> word. The nuclear <em>&#8220;N&#8221;<\/em> word never was supposed to be mentioned. Now I&#8217;m reading every day &#8211; as an example, today I&#8217;m reading somewhere that there&#8217;s at least a 40% chance that he&#8217;ll use nuclear weapons. How the hell did this happen? And it&#8217;s because of the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">On Fox, Trump continued to push for calling nuclear, \u201cthe n-word,\u201d and blamed the United States for Putin\u2019s potential use of nuclear weapons. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/19soBeVAej\">pic.twitter.com\/19soBeVAej<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PatriotTakes ?? (@patriottakes) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/patriottakes\/status\/1583833758020485120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 22, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>First of all, Trump is apparently unaware that Ukraine&#8217;s much smaller military is winning this war against Russia. What&#8217;s worse is that he is almost sanctioning the prospect of Russia using nuclear weapons. Trump&#8217;s infantile speech patterns have him repeatedly referring to the <em>&#8220;N&#8221;<\/em> word, as if it were naughty. And he thinks that people have a problem with discussions about nuclear weapons, that he thinks should never be mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also told Kilmeade about something that <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m reading somewhere,&#8221;<\/em> that said <em>&#8220;there&#8217;s at least a 40% chance that [Putin will] use nuclear weapons.&#8221;<\/em> Notice that he didn&#8217;t say where he allegedly read that. Suffice to say that it was either in the QAnon Daily News, or on a cocktail napkin handed to him by his chief foreign affairs advisors, Michael Flynn and Steve Bannon.<\/p>\n<p>The most repulsive part of Trump&#8217;s comments, however, were his closing remarks where he said that the threat of Russia escalating the war into a nuclear conflict was <em>&#8220;because of the United States.&#8221;<\/em> Because blaming America is always Trump&#8217;s first inclination. And he has worshipfully demonstrated for the past six years that he would never attribute anything negative to his Moscow messiah.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52157\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Doubles Down on His Treasonous Putin Puffery While Continuing to Insult Biden and America<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
