He also dubbed the Russian president “very savvy.
r many weeks now, Republican lawmakers have been criticizing Joe Biden for supposedly being too weak to stop Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine, which on Tuesday the White House officially declared an “invasion.” It’s a peculiar stance for conservatives to take given that Donald Trump spent four years acting like the Putin was his boss, and on Tuesday, literally praised the Russian president and called his actions in Ukraine “genius.” No, really!
As a reminder, these are words Trump is using to describe a man people are legitimately worried is going to start World War III. While the whole thing is completely insane, it is not actually surprising given not only Trump’s well-documented affection for Putin but his disdain for democracy and Democratic presidents. Can an interview in which Trump claims Putin’s invasion is “the best, most terrific invasion” he’s ever seen be far behind? We’ll just have to wait and see!
