“Back when Trump was just a Page Six grotesque and social climber, Spy magazine famously described him as a ‘short-fingered vulgarian.’ It turns out that his fingers aren’t the problem, but his short little attention span — not his grip, but his grip on the issues and, from time to time, on reality. … Not long ago, he was sure that Ukraine couldn’t win — he also claimed that Ukraine had started the war—and that the Ukrainians needed to get to a negotiated settlement as soon as possible. Now he says he thinks the Ukrainians may be able to take back all of the territory occupied (and annexed in some cases) by Russia, a proposition that is, unhappily, at least as implausible as any other dumb thing that has come out of Trump’s mouth.” (09/26/25)
