Putin won’t invade Ukraine if I was still US president, claims Trump
Former President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has claimed that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would not have happened while he was in office.
Trump made the claim during an interview with conservative podcaster Buck Sexton on The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show on Tuesday without stating in clear terms how he would have handled the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
He has described as “genius” President Vladimir Putin’s aggressive moves against Ukraine, noting that he sees Putin pulling a “peacekeeper” move.
Speaking further, Trump criticized his successor, Joe Biden, for his handling of the crisis.
NBC quoted Trump as saying, “I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as an independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.”
“I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s the strongest peace force… We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’d ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace all right,” Trump continued. “Here’s a guy who’s very savvy… I know him very well. Very, very well.”
“You gotta say that’s pretty savvy. And you know what the response was from Biden? There was no response. They didn’t have one for that. No, it’s very sad. Very sad,” Trump added.
“I knew Putin very well. I got along with him great. He liked me. I liked him. I mean, you know, he’s a tough cookie, got a lot of the great charm and a lot of pride. But the way he — and he loves his country, you know? He loves his country.”
