Trump assumed to be very angry right now. Why? Because Trump. [View all]

The verdict is in:

It's a Russian peace plan.

No one thinks it's weird that Russia dictates US foreign policy now.

The funniest part of this whole embarrassing scenario is that Trump, with no knowledge whatsoever of what was in this, was so anxious for a plan he could take credit for and brag about that he immediately claimed it as his own, and is now probably yelling at others for making him look bad.

The last few hours have proven 2 terrible things. First, the US and Russian governments are so close that the US government takes large parts of Russian proposals and passes them off as their own, and second that some people are so desperate to exonerate Trump that they act like this a good thing.

So the US was aware that the world thought the document was US endorsed, yet waited until now to clarify that it wasn't?

How could the US have communicated to Ukraine that they had to accept the proposal or lose US support without clarifying that the Russian proposal wasn't actually their proposal?
