Before Donald Trump was even inaugurated for his second occupation of the White House, he disseminated deliberate deceptions about how he would resolve Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. During his campaign he promised that he would end the war with a single phone call to his pall Vladimir Putin on day one. That was 379 days ago.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, the war is still raging on with Russia committing new war crimes virtually every day. Meanwhile, Trump and his Senior Apologists continue to deny that he has any responsibility for the ongoing massacres perpetrated by Putin, despite his absurd insistence that none of it would have happened were he in office when it started.<\/p>\n

Trump’s absolution is being regurgitated again by his Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt. She was asked about a recent claim by Trump that he spoke with Putin and asked him to suspend his bombing raids<\/a><\/strong> during the winter storms that have battered the region. Trump claimed that…<\/p>\n

“I personally asked President Putin not to fire into Kyiv and the various towns for a week and he agreed to do that, and I have to tell you it was very nice.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As usual, Trump’s account has a measure of believability that rests on how well known Putin is for being “very nice.”<\/em> On Tuesday morning Leavitt was asked about this almost certainly imaginary conversation between Trump and Putin, and the fact that Putin continues his slaughter of innocent Ukrainians. She replied with an impressively straight face to the question…<\/p>\n

Reporter:<\/strong> Trump said Putin agreed to halt attacking Ukraine because of the cold weather. But today we’ve seen Russia launching some of the heaviest attacks this month. What’s your reaction?
\nLeavitt:<\/strong> I spoke with the president about it this morning and his reaction was unfortunately unsurprised. These are two countries who have been engaged in a very brutal war for several years. A war that would have never started if the president were still in office. It started because of the weakness and incompetence of the previous President, Joe Biden. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
