The insufferable Donnie forgot his pills again, delivering an interview that even his own advisers could only hope would be taken lightly. What he offered to Politico<\/em> was not foreign policy, but a geopolitical bedtime cartoon: Crimea surrounded by four oceans, Ukraine supposedly losing, Zelenskyy \u201chaving to accept things,\u201d and elections demanded \u201cimmediately.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, of course. War, missiles, shelling, mobilization, millions of displaced people\u2014these are minor details. The main thing is that Donnie feels comfortable in his own fantasies about the \u201cgreat deal.\u201d The Constitution of Ukraine? International law? Forget it\u2014Donnie believes all that is secondary when inspiration strikes.<\/p>\n

But the climax of the comedy is his demand to hold elections immediately. I just imagined it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a trench. The ground is wet, dugouts are shattered, and \u201cSmerch\u201d rockets whistle overhead. And then, ducking from the bullets, an agitator crawls through the craters:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Guys, let\u2019s vote against Zelenskyy! Don\u2019t forget your pen, your ballot, and if you\u2019ve lost your passport, let\u2019s dig it out of the mud!<\/p>\n\t\t
