So, to ask if Trump is getting the mushroom treatment is a colloquial way of suggesting he is being deliberately kept ignorant, misled, or given false information about the war in Ukraine. His Sunday outburst, describing Putin as crazy and accusing Putin of launching drones and missiles into Ukraine for no reason, was bizarre and disturbing. His remarks demonstrated that he had no knowledge of why Russia launched that attack and, in response to a reporter’s question about the assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin, Trump admitted he knew nothing of that.

This can only mean one of two things — i.e., Trump honestly had no knowledge about recent Ukrainian drone attacks in Russia or he was lying. I think he truly did not know… he was just told that Putin bombed the crap out of Ukraine and killed lots of civilians without justification.

Trump doubled down on his obtuse Sunday comment with this gem on Monday:
