On Trump's psychology and attempts to "convey the truth to him"

In Ukraine (as in many other places), in an attempt to rationalize the behavior of the head of the White House, "bright thoughts" occasionally appear that he is actually spouting all that nonsense about the war, Ukraine, and Russia because the wrong people are putting ideas in his ear, and we are simply communicating poorly (again) and not conveying the truth and reliable information to him. About when the war started, who is to blame for it, how bad Putin is. And that if we do it right, Trump will say different things, and maybe even do different things .

Of course, this is a fantasy designed to rationalize the fact that Trump doesn't give a damn about why the war started, who started it, and how many people are dying here or there. Because almost everyone in his circle knows when the war started, knows who Putin is, and has even said so publicly on several occasions. Moreover, they call Putin a criminal. This does not affect anything at all .

Trump's entourage understands everything perfectly well. And Trump doesn't need to understand anything, he already knows everything about everything. On the issue of Russia, he is the bearer of all the possible clichés that have existed for many decades among some American elites. And his admiration for Putin determined the fact that he wanted to turn Ukraine's partner into a hostile party to the negotiations, a neutral party. In fact, that is why the patient talked about "Zelenskyy being a dictator," and why he organized a trash party in the White House, and tried to put pressure on Ukraine by all available means, and excluded Europe from participating in the negotiations.
