Russia is a war criminal state and Donald Trump is boasting he is the Apple of Putins eye. My God. If you care about sovereignty, democracy, humanity, keep that monster away from the White House where he will enable Putin in this genocidal war against Ukraine.

In another rambling, nonsense answer, Trump tried to make his claim again that Putin would've never dared invaded Ukraine because Trump "had a dominant personality over his."
However, then he went on to say something I have never heard him say before about Putin: "I was the apple of his eye."
Now, why would it be that a murderous dictator like Putin loves Donald Trump so much?
How dangerous is it that this clown ACTUALLY BELIEVED that Putin loved and admired him?
Trump is a conundrum - a master manipulator who is easily manipulated.

The concept that TFG is bragging about being a 'useful American idiot' amuses me. TFG was elected by Putin and was Putin's puppet when TFG was in office. Putin is hoping that TFG is re-elected so that TFG can give Putin Ukraine and finish destroying NATO.

Donald Trump saying he was the "apple" of Vladimir Putin's eye is sparking some harsh criticism.
Trump, who has long been open about having a good relationship with the Russian president, reportedly said in a Fox interview that Putin never would have invaded Ukraine if he had been president. "I was the apple of his eye," the former president said in the interview.
The response was swift.....
Presidential historian Michael Beschloss took a more historical approach:
"Never heard Truman boast of being the 'apple' of Stalins eye," he said.
Ron Filipkowski, a former Republican, had an extremely simple response.
"Yeah, we know. Putins most useful American idiot," he wrote.
