"Trump shares his misguided ideas for resolving the war in Ukraine
Trump suggested he had a secret plan to end the crisis in Ukraine. Now
that he’s elaborated on the details, he probably should’ve kept it under wraps.

"It was against this backdrop that Fox Business’ Stuart Varney asked the Republican again yesterday for what he’d do if he were still president. Trump’s initial response wasn’t exactly clarifying.
“Well, what I would do, is I would — we would — we have tremendous military capability and what we can do without planes, to be honest with
you, without 44-year-old jets, what we can do is enormous. And we should
be doing it and we should be helping them to survive and they’re doing
an amazing job.”
What did this mean? I’m honestly not sure, and neither was the Fox
Business host. So, Varney asked again, and it led to this remarkable
answer:
“I listen to [Vladimir Putin] constantly using the n word. That’s the n word, and he’s constantly using it: the nuclear word. And we never talk
of, we say, ‘Oh, he’s a nuclear power.’ But we’re a greater nuclear power. We have the greatest submarines in the world, most powerful
machines ever built. Most powerful, and they got built under me. Most powerful machines ever built, and nobody knows where they are. And you
should say, ‘Look, if you mention that word one more time, we’re going
to send them over, and we’ll be coasting back and forth up and down your coast.’”"
