“Look, nothing’s going to happen until Putin and I get together. Okay?” Mr Trump said.
“And obviously he wasn’t going to go. He was going to go, but he thought I was going to go.
“He wasn’t going if I wasn’t there and I don’t believe anything’s going to happen, whether you like it or not, until he and I get together, but we’re going to have to get it solved because too many people are dying.”

Genius!
More insightful analysis from Trump in 2016:
“He’s not going into Ukraine, OK, just so you understand,” Trump said on “This Week.” “You can mark it down. You can put it down.”
“Well, he’s already there, isn’t he?” Stephanopoulos responded, in a reference to Crimea, which Putin took from Ukraine in early 2014.
Trump said: “OK – well, he’s there in a certain way. But I’m not there. You have Obama there. And frankly, that whole part of the world is a mess under Obama with all the strength that you’re talking about and all of the power of NATO and all of this. In the meantime, he’s going away. He takes Crimea.”
Thank God he’s just the local golf club bore, not the president of the most powerful country on earth.
Oh wait …..
