US President Donald Trump said Vladimir Putin "has gone absolutely crazy!" following a series of deadly attacks, and warned that -- if he attempts to conquer all of Ukraine -- it will lead to Russia's "downfall."

US President Donald Trump angrily said he is “not happy” with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and that he is considering further financial measures against Moscow following a series of deadly drone and missile strikes against Ukrainian cities.

“I’m not happy with what Putin is doing. He’s killing a lot of people, and I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin,” Trump told reporters in New Jersey as he prepared to fly back to Washington on May 25.

“I’ve known him a long time. Always gotten along with him, but he’s sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don’t like it at all,” the US leader added.

    “I thought he was going to win so I backed him. Now, it looks like he’ll lose so I’m going to act like he changed and pretend I was against this all along. Please, give me credit for ending the war in Ukraine no matter who wins.”

      Based on what I know of him, I think he really is bewildered. He was so stupid and enamored by Putin he couldn’t anticipate that he would do something that makes him look like an idiot holding a sagging bag of dog shit.

        I agree completely. I think he really thought he had Putin’s respect.

        Trump’s the guy in Hooters who hasn’t realized that women will pretend to like him for tips.

          Trump’s the guy who thinks that the only reason a woman would pretend to like anyone is if they paid her, since that’s the only way women will pretend to like Trump.
