Donald Trump once again showed high praise for Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Wednesday over his aggressive move to invade Ukraine and seize territory, according to Shane Goldmacher of The New York Times.
“They laugh at us,” said Trump in a speech to a super PAC fundraiser at his Mar-a-Lago country club per Goldmacher. “That’s why you have Ukraine. That’s why you’re going to have China. Taiwan is next and you’re going to see the same kind of thing.” He added of Putin, “He’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions, I’d say that’s pretty smart.”
