“Now, I’m not for Russia. I’m for the United States," Trump continued. "But, as an example, if Vladimir Putin were sitting next to me at a table instead of one of the others… I could say, 'would you do me a favor and get out of Syria? Would you do me a favor, would you get out of Ukraine?'"

“If he were at that meeting, I could ask him to do things that are good for the world, that are good for our country that are good for him,” he added.

In Wednesday's interview, which was recorded shortly after Trump's Tuesday summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the president repeated his assertion that the Obama administration did not do enough to stop Russia from annexing Crimea from Ukraine.

Susan Rice, a former national security adviser for President Obama, called it “disgraceful” that Trump faulted Obama for Russia’s actions.

Susan Rice looks extremely tacky in her soon-to-be orange jumpsuit, as she should!

Hey, Susan!! Don’t forget that “L-pill” you were issued!!

Susan Rice is the one who is disgraceful. Who does she think she is?

Crimea a river.

Russia doesn’t need to be in the G-7 for Trump to talk to Putin.

Trump is usually the only adult in the room - solid connection to reality and while he often sounds emotional, he doesn't let his emotions override sense.

MAGA!!!
