Today, Donald met with NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta to discuss Ukraine,

but in the press conference that followed, Donald showed once again his complete weakness on the global stage

and his continuing total inability to stand up to Vladimir Putin.

One thing remains abundantly clear.

Donald is desperate to appear strong.

And one way he tries to do this

is to continue to threaten other countries,

including those who we used,

whom we used to consider our allies.

But in the process,

what's also becoming very clear is that leaders

of other countries have no respect for him

to the extent they ever did, and they are not afraid of him or his threats, empty or otherwise.

At the press conference, Donald appeared frail, he looked small and basically exhausted.

He sounded even worse, or he, I should say, made things even worse

when he was talking about Russia. Take a look at his response when asked just what he plans to do

if Putin doesn't comply with his threats.

If Putin escalates further, how far are you willing to go in response?

In what?

How far are you willing to go if Putin were to escalate, send more bombs in the coming days?

Don't ask me a question like that, how far? I want to get the war settled.

They're not Americans that are dying in it, and I have a problem, and J.D. has a problem. It's a stance that he's had for a long time. They're not Americans that are dying in it and you know I have a problem and J.D. has a problem.
