Trump Given Several Chances to Walk Back Praise of Putin - He Declines

[odanny]

This should come as no surprise. When someone idolizes murderous tyrants like Kim and Putin, no amount of civilian casualties, or any other images and testimonies of the human carnage of the Ukraine war, would convince this sociopath to change his mind.

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday was given several chances during a Fox News interview to reject autocrats and walk back his praise for President Vladimir Putin of Russia but didn’t.

Fox’s Sean Hannity set Trump up multiple times during the 30-minute exchange to criticize Putin, but the former president didn’t go along. He instead touted his relationships with Putin, the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Xi Jinping of China.
Trump came under fire last month for describing Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as “genius” and “savvy,” keeping in line with his tendency to speak favorably of the Russian leader. Even House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a Trump ally, broke with the former president this week, saying there was nothing “savvy or genius” about Putin. McCarthy went on to say that Putin was “evil,” condemning a war that has already left hundreds of civilians dead in Ukraine.

Hannity not once, but twice, brought up the blowback to Trump’s comments.

“I think you also recognize he’s evil, do you not?” the Fox host said.

Trump again didn’t go that far, but Hannity gave it another try.

Trump…What a Douche

 

[pknopp]

His mind works in small ways. One can note that they were able to work with other leaders while still condemning their actions but Trump's mind does not work that way. Trump see's everything in terms of Trump.

 

[BackAgain]

He didn’t praise Putin.

 

[MarcATL]

No surprise there.

You see it right here on USMB via his legion of wanna-be disciples.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Obviously leftists want to spin things so Trump winds up looking bad.

I'd like to see Trump's comments in context, for once.

"I got along with these people. I got along with them well,” he said. “That doesn’t mean they are good people". Trump said.

Leftist pigs won't tell the whole story, of course. Recognizing someone of Putin's ability to keep his nation
viable on the world stage is not praise....it's reality.

Hitler, Caesar, etc. were not good people. But they were driven and bright. Denying that is denying reality.

FO, shitferbrains. See a doctor about your unmet need for attention. Trump never "praised" anyone other than give the proper respect to any foreign leader capable of mutual destruction of your country to keep the peace with them and good dialog between you two so as to prevent the kind of mudrucking that Bedpan Biddum has now sorrowfully dragged us into.

Putin is showing a great deal of restraint as far as we are concerned. A less restrained leader would have taken direct action when the bioweapons lab was discovered,

Leftists really don’t need to do anything to make trump look stupid. He does that by himself.

 

[rightwinger]

Putin could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and Trump would support it

You are the expert when it comes to looking like an idiot, apparently.

Not compared to trump and his supporters.

See what I mean?

Trump kept Putin out of Ukraine when he was in office, before being illegally deposed.
Biden....not so much.
