As ever, Hinderaker this afternoon is burping about the fact that the New York Times missed a preposition in a quote — and then corrected it. Promptly.
What he completely ignores, but what all of us in the sentient world know… Is that Donald Trump said over and over again on the campaign trail that he would bring peace to Ukraine (sometimes he said within 24 hours), but most of the time, he said within 30 days.
Month four is now ending. And peace seems quite a distance beyond where it was on Joe Biden’s watch. This is so because Donald Trump is both irrational and impulsive.
And the essential truth of the NYT reporting remains: Trump seems to favor Putin in these negotiations rather than the freedom fighters in Ukraine.
Trump has said more than once that the war is “the fault” of Ukraine. In point of fact, Putin invaded Ukraine.
So — ever pedantic, John points to the splinter — in someone’s eye while he ignores the lumber in his own.
What a putz.
