HARNWELL: this is vintage Trump — he looks Zelensky straight in eye and says “NO TOMAHAWKS!”

VIDEO SYNTHESIS / I really have to ask myself “can it actually get any better than this?!”

President Trump had been thinking out loud over recent weeks whether to raid the US stockpile in order to give “the Psychotic Oompa Loompa” Tomahawk missiles to attack deep inside Russia.

And now we have our answer.

POTUS rejected Zelensky’s principal request, because, in the president’s own magnificent words: “the United States does not want an escalation.”
