Trump: “Putin is playing Biden like a drum”
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Former President Donald Trump has continued to praise President Vladimir Putin amid Russia’s attack on Ukraine.
- In a statement released on Twitter, Trump said Putin was “playing Biden like a drum.”
- A video recorded at a Mar-a-Lago event shows Trump calling Putin “pretty smart” for taking over Ukraine for “$2 worth of sanctions.”
Former President Donald Trump has continued to praise Russian President Vladimir Putin even as a full-scale attack on Ukraine looms.
“Putin is playing Biden like a drum. It is not a pretty thing to watch!” said Trump in a statement released on Wednesday over Twitter via his spokeswoman Liz Harrington.
Video of the former president at an event at Mar-a-Lago surfaced Wednesday night, where he appeared to complain about how he was criticized for his comments on Putin. Trump on Tuesday lauded Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine as “savvy” and “genius.”
“‘Trump said Putin’s smart.’ I mean, he’s taken over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart,” Trump said. “He’s taking over a country, literally, a vast, vast, location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in.”
It is unclear when the video at Mar-a-Lago was taken, and representatives for the former president did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.
Russia is now poised to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, per Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Blinken told NBC Nightly News that he could not put a date or time on when it would happen, but said that Russian troops are now ready to move into Ukraine from positions along the country’s borders to the north, east, and south.
Ukraine has also declared a state of emergency in response to Russia’s troop movement, and the country’s parliament has passed a law allowing its citizens to carry firearms.

Is it something in the air, that the whole is full of crazy nutcase?…Or is it the Covid that is making people crazy?..Biden was a nutcase, before he even became president for the Democrats, not for the Republicans, because we didn’t vote for him..
TIME TO IMPEACH BIDEN, HARRIS, PELOSI, SCHUMER, SCHIFF, MCCONNELL, AOC, ABRAM, AND THE REST OF THE OLD S.O.B.
RUSSIA DIDN’T HAVE TO START OR DESTROY UKRAINE…THE WHOLE WORLD IS GOING NUTS…

Enough of the B.S.. Putin is playing Lying Corrupt Quid Pro KING Joe like a drum. Putin probably is. Who is to say that Putin wouldn’t be playing Trump like a drum? If Trump were president this wouldn’t have happened. No one knows that. That is an assumption. I don’t see Putin losing any sleep or shaking in his boots over Trump anytime soon. Corrupt Quid pro calls Putin a dictator. Putin wants to arrest all the protestors and charge them with treason, something the liberal commie Democrats and Trudeau of Canada would love to do. Corrupt Quid Pro is just as much of a dictator to the American people as Putin is to Russia or Trudeau is to Canada. rump also has a penchant for dictators. Obviously NATO has outlived their purpose. Useless. One doesn’t see NATO engaged in a war with Russia over Ukraine. They won’t move unless the U.S. does. America shouldn’t be spilling the blood of it’s warriors for another countries Democracy. We tried that already. It didn’t work out in Vietnam or Afghanistan. America’s own Democracy is in peril.
