“…A flustered Trump realizes that all this time he had been confusing Russia and Ukraine”
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The new presidential administration encountered a rare public relations slip-up when a flustered President Donald Trump realized that he had been confusing Russia with Ukraine all this time.
The error was eventually detected by a White House aide who started asking questions after the president publicly stated that Ukraine was responsible for starting the war.
After further investigation, the aide privately informed Trump that he had mixed up the two countries.
“It’s the other way around, as far as I understand,” Trump told reporters at an impromptu press conference in the Oval Office. “The country that started the war, invading another country, apparently was Russia. Honestly, they are easy to confuse. They are right next to each other. And the cold winters. Very cold. I always thought that this little guy Zelensky was from Russia. He sounds Russian.”
One administration insider said that Trump’s realization of the mix-up could potentially change the whole outlook for peace negotiations. “It’s kind of a substantial difference,” the source said. “He took such a tough stance on Ukraine because he thought they had started the war, when it was Russia who invaded. We had to pull out a big map and show him that Russia is actually big and Ukraine is small. All is well, he’s got it all figured out now.”
At the time of publication, Trump proposed a newly revised peace plan in which the United States would simply annex both Ukraine and Russia as new territories.
