It conflicts with his interest in backing Russia, is what he really means.

Trump can't suck Putin's dick if he's talking to Zelensky.

Trump is a moron who doesn't know what words mean, but he's also under felony indictment, and thus cannot leave the country.

He could have said that, but he doesn't want to have a sound bite admitting that he's under felony indictment.

Trump is a moron who doesn’t know what words mean,

I mean, he may have used it correctly. We don't really know about his interests in Russia.

"If he can come here, I will need 24 minutes — yes, 24 minutes. Not more. Yes. Not more — 24 minutes to explain (to) President Trump that he can't manage this war," the Ukrainian leader said.

Oh good i was worried Zelensky was trying to ally with Trump.

He would have needed a day but he was probably going to use small words to help Trump out.

Lmao Trump is incapable of understanding what a conflict of interest is

ZapBeebz_@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

No, I think he's got it this time. The conflict is that he isn't interested
