Donald Trump’s recent comments regarding Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky have caused quite a stir. Last week, Trump labeled Zelensky as a “dictator” during an address about the ongoing war with Russia. His words sparked global outrage, with many critics expressing concern about the 78-year-old’s unpredictable stance on the conflict. Despite his harsh remarks, Trump has now walked them back, claiming that he "forgot" about calling Zelensky a dictator. This pivot has led many to question whether Trump is playing mind games with the media or if he's genuinely losing his grasp on the situation.
