1. As per [original article](https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2667758086/) 📰:

   – Former President Donald Trump was ridiculed Friday after his former adviser admitted he “could not get his head around” a basic fact.

   Former adviser Fiona Hill reports in a new book [reviewed by the Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/12/trump-russia-ukraine-book-comments) that Trump, as president, had a hard time understanding Ukraine was a country.

   “Trump made it very clear that he thought, you know, that Ukraine, and certainly Crimea, must be part of Russia,” Hill reportedly said. “He really could not get his head around the idea that Ukraine was an independent state.”

   Hill, who served on the U.S. national security council from 2017 to 2019, reportedly made this admission to New York Times reporter David Sanger in his new book, New Cold Wars: China’s Rise, Russia’s Invasion, and America’s Struggle to Defend the West.

   Sanger argues that Trump’s view of Ukraine was “essentially identical” to that of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

   News quickly spread to social media where the former president was mocked.

   “What to expect from a country that has a clown running for president,” asked Baba Yaga.

   Other readers raised concerns about what Hill’s report said about a potential second term for Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

2. I’m surprised Trump could get his head around very much at all.

3. Apparently Biden is just as confused.

   What a disaster!

4. The idea that Ukraine is not part of Russia is not allowed inside the heads of Russian operatives.

5. The only thing that fat orange fuck can get his head round is a fucking cheeseburger.

6. That probably has a lot to do with him being a fucking idiot.
