Trump on Crimea

Trump now: Apparently criticizing the Obama admin for letting Russia take Crimea

"During an extended riff on the crisis in Crimea, Mr. Trump added extra emphasis on the president’s full name, saying that it occurred “during the administration of Barack Hussein Obama.”" (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/11/us/politics/trump-rally.html)



Trump a few days ago: Crimeans would rather be part of Russia, I would recognize the annexation as legit

"“I’m going to take a look at it,” Trump said on ABC. “But, you know, the people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were. And you have to look at that, also.”" (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/trump-clarifies-crimea-ukraine-226497)
