We know that Donald Trump is a huge fan of Vladimir Putin, so we could hardly be surprised when Trump took Putin’s side in the battle with Prigozhin. He didn’t stop there, however. He went on to argue that Xi wants largely vacant Russian land for China, and that Biden takes his orders from Xi; hence, presumably, American opposition to Putin in Ukraine.
This raises two important questions. First, can Trump actually be crazy enough to believe something that is completely at odds with the undisputed facts? Second, how can the GOP electorate support a candidate who is that obviously unhinged?
