This state-sanctioned trolling was surprising, until you reflect that the rest of the world has already caught on to Trump's chaotic ineptitude:

The outspoken former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev mocked Trump’s new position, saying he had been given a dose of “alternative reality,” and noted his often-changing views of the conflict (washingtonpost.com - Trump russia ukraine putin zelensky timeline).

“I have no doubt — he will come back. He always comes back,” Medvedev wrote about Trump on X. “The main thing is to radically change your point of view on various issues more often. And everything will be fine. That’s the essence of successful government through social media.”

Margarita Simonyan, who heads the Russian English-language state news channel RT, dismissed the U.S. president’s support for Zelensky as that of a carnival huckster.

“Trump debuts as the tarot card reader telling the thrice-divorced lady that she is going to meet that billionaire prince after all, as long as she buys the magic crystals,” she wrote on X.

Nor do they appear too worried about his catalog-model Secretary of Armageddon, or whatever they're calling Whiskeyleaks these days.
