What are Trump's recent controversial actions?
Donald Trump returned to Washington, D.C. after taking yet another golf vacation in southern Florida. He competed, or so he claims competed, in his own golf tournament where he awarded himself first place yet again. Then he went back to Washington, D.C. after celebrating his own victory in his own golf tournament and then started immediately spewing Putin's talking points just before
false Russian propaganda about how Russia has Ukraine encircled and that Donald Trump and Putin are needed to try to spare the lives of the Ukrainian military and that that's why Donald Trump's going to have to speak with Putin on Tuesday. One thing I should note before playing you this clip of Donald Trump at the Kennedy Center is
uh talking about this and i'll explain to you why he was at the kennedy center in a moment well while donald trump was vacationing over the weekend at mar-a-lago and celebrating his victory there was a horrific storms that ravaged the midwest over 37 people died and donald trump was posting how much fun he was having in his golf tournament while that was taking place then donald trump has already appointed himself chairman
of the board of the Kennedy Center. He fired everybody pretty much at the Kennedy Center and then appointed all of the kind of MAGA loyalists to positions. No one's really even going to the Kennedy Center anymore, like ticket sales are down more than 50 percent. Hamilton canceled. So he was holding his first kind of Kim Jong-un style board meeting.
And then he left and then started talking about this, these Putin talking points. Let's play it.
of speaking with President Putin of Russia to save some soldiers who are in deep trouble. They're captured. Essentially, they're surrounded by Russian soldiers. So I give you a lot of different things in one news conference, but it's a big deal. They're surrounded by Russian soldiers. And I believe if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be here any longer.
I was able to get them not to do anything at this moment. But it's a bad situation in Russia and it's a bad situation in Ukraine. What's happening in Ukraine is not good. But we're going to see if we can work a peace agreement, a ceasefire and peace. And I think we'll be able to do it. I'm speaking to President Putin tomorrow morning.
Yes. Notice when he talks about Putin, he never says anything negative. about Putin, and he always just buys hook line and sinker what Putin says, like literally nothing about what he just said is true. He's not saving Ukrainian lives with Putin. If anything, Trump is imperiling the lives of Ukrainians. And that's what Putin is telling his people in Russia. It's totally false.
The Ukrainian defense forces had to forcefully come out a few days ago with statements saying this is false when Donald Trump made a social media post about that. And one of the other developments as well is that Donald Trump has removed Keith Kellogg, his special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, and just reappointed Keith Kellogg as just the special envoy to Ukraine.
