Donald Trump went on the Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show where he answered questions about Russian President Vladimir Putin, because what's the damn point of anything anymore.
At last week's vapid excuse for a foreign policy forum Trump told Matt Lauer that he praises the Russian leader because "if he says great things about me, I'm going to say great things about him." This indeed seems an accurate distillation of Donald Trump's worldview, in which the worth of every individual he meets is measured only in accordance with how flattering that person can be toward Donald J. Trump. Also an accurate distillation of Donald Trump's worldview: going on a different television program to say the opposite.
“Well, look, I don’t know him, and I know nothing about him, really. I just think if we got along with Russia, that’s not a bad thing,” Trump said. “The Democrats try to say I like him somehow. I don’t like him. I don’t dislike him. I don’t have any feelings one way or the other. And it’s not going to matter what he says about me. If he says good things or bad things about me, I’m going to make great deals for our country.” He added, “They make it like he’s my best friend, I don’t know him.”
There ya go then. Good to know. Whatever. It'll be something different tomorrow.
