Trump then claimed that “Putin made his decision to ruthlessly attack Ukraine only after watching the pathetic withdrawal from Afghanistan.”

“The problem is not that Putin is smart – which of course, he’s smart – but the real problem is that our leaders are dumb,” Trump said. 

Trump also explained that he could have prevented the current “travesty from happening,” if he was still president, and hinted at running for the presidency in 2024 for a “third time.”

“He understood me and he understood that I didn’t play games,” Trump said of Putin. “This would not have happened. Someday, I’ll tell you exactly what we talked about. And he did have an affinity, there’s no question about it, for Ukraine. I said, never let it happen, better not let it happen.”

In related news, Trump recently launched his new social media platform Truth Social, and the move comes after he was banned from major social media platforms in 2021 following the deadly Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
