Perhaps, but it's funny that when you are queried to show the source of your "facts" you tell the reader to look it up. That's NOT the way it works. If you make a statement you MUST be able to back it up with your source of factual information. Otherwise, it looks like you just made up your "Facts" out of whole cloth. So I ask you again, where did Trump ever say that? Where did he ever label Putin as a "genius because he labeled his attack on Ukraine a peace keeping mission". Your source please.

Yep, You're correct. He (Trump) said the words genius and savvy when describing how Putin was justifying his invasion. There's nothing wrong with giving credit for a smart move. Understand he (Trump) DID NOT condone the invasion. He only said that how Putin was justifying it was genius and that he (Putin) was savvy (smart) in how he presented it to his people and to the world.

Here's his (Trumps) own words, taken from the article that you presented.

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 independent. Oh, thats wonderful, Trump said in a radio interview with The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. He used the word independent; and we're gonna go out and we're gonna go in and we're gonna help keep peace. You gotta say that's pretty savvy.

So as anyone can see, President Trump did not condone the invasion. He only said that how Putin described it and was going in to help keep the peace was pretty savvy. Speaking from experience, I can tell you that there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that your enemy is smart. Only a fool underestimates his enemy. Usually a dead fool.

Doesn’t matter how you slice it - it was the wrong thing to be saying.

Like saying Hitlers concentration camps they called “ work camps “ was genius .
Wrong - dead wrong thing to acknowledge .

The men, women, children, elderly in Ukraine would agree with ME - not you and scook .

That’s a pretty vacuous spin to put on the exact words Trump said. It’s completely obvious what he meant.

I’m pretty sure the Ukrainians would agree with the accurate description, recalling that they weren’t attacked and murdered while Trump was in office.
