Ever since the violent Russian invasion and attack against Ukraine, ex-President Donald Trump just keeps saying the quiet part loud.
In the days leading up to and following the senseless Russian war on Ukraine, Trump has made his admiration for Russian dictatorial President Vladimir Putin very well known — referring to Putin’s invasion tactics as “genius” and Putin himself “savvy”; immediately making excuses for what the Russian dictator has done; blaming the entire attack not on Putin (where it belongs) but on President Biden and the fact that he lost the election; taking all the credit for NATO and Ukraine’s success while repeatedly bragging that none of this would have happened if he were still in office, because of the close friendship he and Vladimir Putin have enjoyed for so long.
And he’s still going strong.
Recently, the corrupt, disgraced ex-president is in Florence, South Carolina, where he held one of his unhinged MAGA rallies, despite the fact that he’s not the president anymore and, as of now, he’s not even officially running again.

But nevertheless, Donnie’s Russia talking points were still as strong as ever.
During his speech tonight, Trump declared, “By the way, this could lead to World War 3. I see what’s happening. Because if you think Putin’s going to stop, it’s going to get worse and worse. He’s not going to accept it. And we don’t have anybody to talk to him. You had somebody to talk to him with me.”

Basically, this was Trump’s less-than-gentle reminder for today that he was BFFs with a literal Russian dictator. You’re just not making the point you think you are, dude.
