‘A LOT OF BS’: During a broadcast Cabinet meeting that ran an hour and 45 minutes yesterday afternoon, President Donald Trump — his patience apparently exhausted — unleashed on Russian President Vladimir Putin for his disingenuous pretense that he is open to a negotiated end to his war with Ukraine. Or, as Trump put it, “bulls***.”

“We get a lot of bulls*** thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He’s very nice all of the time, but it turns out to be meaningless,” Trump said, one day after he said Ukraine would resume receiving weapons shipments from the United States. “He’s not treating human beings right. He’s killing too many people. So we’re sending some defensive weapons to Ukraine, and I’ve approved that.”
