Former President Donald Trump spoke to a crowd of supporters on Tuesday night at 'Club 45,' where he bragged about his relationship with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. He rehashed his disgraceful remarks in Helsinki when he claimed to trust the foreign leader over U.S. intelligence agencies.
"Putin never ever would have gone into Ukraine if I were president," Trump insisted, even though the former President was impeached for extorting Ukraine. "I actually had a very good relationship" with Putin.
"Remember when [the media] hit me with a question: 'Who do you trust: … your intelligence people, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Lisa Page (how about Lisa)? Or Putin?' And I said: You know, that could be the toughest question I've ever been asked as a politician," he continued. "And then when I really didn't give them a very good answer in terms of exactness … oh, all hell broke loose. But that's okay, you know, that's okay. And it turned out I was right. I was right about that, too."
He's so weak, and yet, his supporters see him as some sort of alpha male.
Trump's people:
In contrast, President Joe Biden spent Presidents' Day in war-torn Ukraine and walked down the streets of Kyiv with President Zelensyy as air raid sirens blared in the background. It's been one year since Russia invaded Ukraine and proceeded to kill civilians, bomb hospitals, and destroy cities.
"One year later, Kyiv stands. And Ukraine stands. Democracy stands," Biden said.
Trump would have handed Ukraine over to Putin on day one. Biden is putting America First by supporting our allies. That is the most American thing ever. Slava Ukraini. Fuck Russia.
