Donald Trump was asked how the Ukraine conflict will end and you’ll be facepalming into next year

In an unpredictable and frankly terrifying world, it’s reassuring to know that some things stay the same. Well, sort of.

Like Donald Trump, for instance, after the former president was asked for his thoughts how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would end.

And no matter what answer you were expecting from Trump, it surely wasn’t this one.

It’s not the first time Trump has tilted at windmills, of course. You might remember this.

The former president made the comments during an appearance on a podcast hosted by YouTube pranksters, the Nelk Boys. And here are our favourite things people said about it.

This is indistinguishable from James Austin Johnson on Saturday Night Live. His brain is just a basket of frying popcorn kernels. https://t.co/lou2ZjUU0l

This is insane.

The really insane thing is that people still like him, no matter how entirely wrong he is. They just don’t care.

Oh my God, he thinks that a wind farm can exhaust the wind resource in one location and they’ll move on to the next place to develop a new wind farm.

You can’t use up the wind. That’s why it’s called a renewable.

He's got like three riffs kicking around in his head, and when he reaches in there to pull one out, you just might get windmills. https://t.co/lVbCYbsy7Y
