WATCH: Trump Calls Into Fox News, Falsely Claims Americans Are Landing in Ukraine to Fight Russia
During his term as President, Donald Trump was especially weak on foreign policy. He frequently seemed to have little idea what was happening on the world stage.
Last night, the former President eagerly called into Laura Ingraham’s show to discuss Russia’s incursion into Ukraine. In addition to blaming the attack on the “rigged election,” Trump also falsely claimed that American forces made an amphibious landing in Ukraine, intending on fighting the Russians.
OMG. After Ingraham mentions that Russian forces are reportedly engaged in an amphibious attack, Trump says, "you told me about the amphibious attack by Americans. You shouldn't be saying that … they should do that secretly."
"No. That was the Russians," Ingraham corrects him. pic.twitter.com/dG6l5mPBK4

Here’s the exchange, which ended with Ingraham correcting Trump:
“TRUMP: Well, I think the whole thing – again – would’ve never happened. It shouldn’t happen. And it’s a very sad thing.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 that through the great Laura Ingraham. They should be doing that secretly. Nobody should know that, Laura, and you know–
INGRAHAM: No, those are the Russian amphibious landings.
TRUMP: Oh, I thought you said that we were sending people in.
INGRAHAM: [laughing] No. No, I did not. No, no.
TRUMP: Oh ok.
INGRAHAM: That would be news.
TRUMP: That’s all we need. That’ll be next, ok? Now, we want to protect our own borders. You know, we oughta get to the southern border and start protecting the southern border. But it’s a very terrible situation. It’s a situation that should’ve never happened, Laura.”
