The reason for Russia’s invasion is America’s “rigged election,” according to Trump.

In a recent interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Trump claimed that American troops were amphibiously landing in Ukraine to join in the fight against Russia.

This may surprise my readers, but that isn’t true.

INGRAHAM: We just learned that US officials are looking at a potential amphibious landing in Odessa, Ukraine. A month ago, or three weeks ago, all of the so called experts were saying that Putin was probably just going to be content with just staying in those separatist regions. But given what has unfolded, sadly, with a lot of weakness in the United States, they just decided to go for it…

(Later in the interview, Trump returns to Ingraham mentioning that US officials believe Russians are attacking Ukraine by sea.)

TRUMP: But you know what’s also very dangerous is you told me about the amphibious attack by Americans. You shouldn’t be saying that, because you and everybody else shouldn’t know about it. They should do that secretly, not be doing it through the great Laura Ingraham.

INGRAHAM: No, those are the Russians.
