I don't find it that surprising to be fair. Putin is a megalomaniac, as wannabe dictators often are. That means that when push comes to shove, given that what trump wants (a ceasefire ASAP) is something that monke doesn't want to do, his narcissism is going to come to clash with trump's similarly massive ego. Because the moment trump starts to seriously push putin on the matter, and realise that putin is doing nothing but delaying, he's gonna start calling putin out. What I reckon happened on that phonecall is that trump did just that, and putin ended up sperging out and either intentionally or unintentionally threatening/offending trump. That said this is if we assume trump isn't a conscious russian asset - if he is, then all of this is meaningless theatre, and he's trump's only doing this u-turn to buy time for himself to seem like he's doing something about ukraine. But I hope for Europe and Ukraine's sake that it's the former.
