The man absolutely, positively, doesn’t understand international trade.

Trump: I can't think of one country that doesn't want to negotiate a deal. They either negotiate a deal or we a set a deal that we think is fair. Because we don’t have to through all of these— it would be physically impossible. You have so many people that really understand it. pic.twitter.com/kJAogdspzh

Thank goodness there’s somebody who really understands it; because Trump clearly doesn’t.

Reporter: On the economy, there was a slow down as it relates to home sales for the month of March. The slowest pace since 2009. Is that an economic indicator that concerns you…

Trump: We had very good numbers on housing today… and that’s despite interest rates. pic.twitter.com/eZXmBJzKPG

No comment.

Nothing says “the art of the deal” like Donald Trump begging Putin to stop targeting Ukrainians in Kyiv on social media.

24 hours came and went a long time ago.

Are peace negotiations even happening anymore? pic.twitter.com/lbTKQddQp5

Reporter: Why are you not putting more pressure on Russia?

Trump: You don’t know what pressure I’m putting. You have no idea what pressure I’m putting on Russia pic.twitter.com/Hna51jc32N

Aside from social media diplomacy, neither does Putin.

Donald Trump is meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store at the White House today.

Trump was asked if Putin will listen to him about stopping the attacks on Kyiv.

"I do, yeah."

Laughable. pic.twitter.com/iKErTqqJDe

You just have no idea what he’s doing. Nor does he.

Reporter: What concessions has Russia offered up thus far to get to the point where you're closer to peace.

Trump: Stopping the war, stopping taking the whole country. Pretty big concessions pic.twitter.com/9MiHQx7YUv

In alternative world, maybe. Literally the only change since Trump took office is that Ukraine no longer has the full support of the U.S..

Rubio: And everyone should be thanking the president for being a peacemaker and trying to save lives. pic.twitter.com/8qOjZTHKMH

Via social media?

Trump: I think we need Greenland for international peace. pic.twitter.com/zufsnKiIlu
