Trump joked about the conflict, too, though, telling donors that the U.S. should put the "put the Chinese flag" on F-22 fighter jets and "bomb the s***" out of Russia.
"And then we say, China did it," he said, to laughter in the room, according to the source. "Then they start fighting with each other, and we sit back and watch."

Rubio says implementing no-fly zone over Ukraine 'means starting World War III'
"That means flying AWACS 24 hours a day, that means the willingness to shoot down and engage Russian airplanes in the sky.

Reason I'm cautious is that not one local Louisiana reporter covered this.
Trump left Mar-a-Lago last night 10;00 PM my time (CST).
