One of the delightful aspects of James Austin Johnsons impersonation of Donald Trump is how he captures the former presidents habit of blurting out his scheme as a casual aside in the middle of his stream-of-consciousness harangues. (Johnson: Trump cards are each $99. Seems like a lot, seems like a scam, and in many ways it is, but we love the Trump cards.)
A recent example of this habit from the real-life Trump came the other day during a Sean Hannity radio interview. Hannity, who has previously tried unsuccessfully to get Trump to call Vladimir Putin a bad guy, asked the former president about Ukraine. Trumps main line on the subject has been to blame the invasion on Joe Biden and insist it never would have happened if he still held the office because Putin respected him.
But then he mentioned, as an aside, that the reason Putin wouldnt have invaded Ukraine is that Trump would have made a deal to hand over chunks of its territory to Russia:
Well, yes, the charge that Trump would have let Russia dismember its neighboring country is exactly the suspicion his critics have been raising for years. And indeed, when Trump has been insisting he could have prevented Putins invasion, his critics have noted that his magic negotiating formula is simply a willingness to agree with Russia on pressuring Ukraine to submit to demands it would never accept.
