The extra ordinary spin is not the bit quoted (which IMO is what Trump is doing). The 1st sentence is worse.

The bit Liam selectively quoted was, IMO, correct. Trump is playing mind games with European polititians.
But it was not the worst part of the post. That was the opening sentence.

I went for a walk in the local woods to try and improve spirits. Autumn colours were lovely. I didn't get much exercise, but my dog ran a fair bit.
