Sean Hannity set up Trump perfectly to condemn Putin's actions.
But of course Trump dodged the question yet again.
So first here's a reminder of Trump's administration.
So when it comes to Putin during the podcast a few weeks ago.
>> Well what went wrong was a rigged election and
what went wrong as a candidate that shouldn't be there?
By the way, this never would have happened with us had I been in office,
not even thinkable, this would never have happened.
But here's a guy that says,
I'm gonna declare a big portion of Ukraine independent.
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 got to say that's pretty savvy and you know what the response was from Biden?
There was no response.
They didn't have one for that.
Now, it's very sad.
>> And then last night, during an interview with Sean Hannity well,
Trump was given that opportunity to clarify and he did not check this out.
You came under some fire when you said that Vladimir Putin is very smart.
I think I know you a little bit better than most people in the media and
I think you also recognize he's evil, do you not?
>> Well, I was referring to the fact that he said this is an independent nation.
Talking about Ukraine and I said that's something said this was before there was
any attack, he's calling it an independent nation.
Now a lot of things are changing when you look, this doesn't seem to be the same
Putin that I was dealing with, but I will tell you he wouldn't have changed.
If I were dealing with him, he wouldn't have changed.
>> And then of course he said that he and
dictators around the world understood each other well.
>> I've known you well over 25 years and when you got criticized for
saying that Vladimir Putin is smart we've had many conversations and
you've often quoted to me, Sun Tzu, the art of war.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Is that how you viewed Vladimir?
Did you view Vladimir Putin and people like President Xi and Kim Jong-un and
the Iranian Muller's as enemies that you needed to keep close?
>> I got along with these people.
I got along with them, well that doesn't mean they're good people.
It doesn't mean anything other than the fact that I understood them and
perhaps they understood me.
Maybe they understood me even better,
that's okay because they knew there'd be a big penalty in North Korea.
I got along with Kim Jong-un, I got along with Putin, I got along with Xi.
>> The man would get along with Satan and brag about it, Jake.
>> Yeah, it is amazing how it takes like the things that are the worst for him and
then brags about it.
And then, but the minute he brags about it, it works like a charm.
You gotta give him credit, right?
And he's like, yeah, I know you got to be friends with Beelzebub, the Lucifer has
got to be your best friend and you have to write each other love letters.
And if you're running a business you have to go bankrupt over and over and
over again because that's the smart thing to do.
And so it doesn't matter, he could say anything to those idiots in the right wing
and they're like, yeah of course that makes sense.
So look, let's be looks evil is a silly word in my opinion, but
like immoral, okay fine.
And so Hannity is basically asking is putting a bad guy, is he immoral?
That's the biggest layup that you could possibly imagine.
Putin is in the middle of devastating Ukraine,
killing thousands of civilians, bombing hospitals.
It's a softball, your dumbass and Trump won't call him evil, won't call
him immoral, won't call him a bad guy because he wants to make money from him.
He has no morals whatsoever.
I mean if you believe in the concept of evil,
Donald Trump one of the most evil people we've ever had in office.
He thinks, yeah there's a tyrant who started a war murdering all these people,
hey, but we got along great, we got to get along with all of them.
Hey gee, I wonder why you get along with all the dictators because you guys
think alike and that's why you try to end our democracy and
the right wingers still supporting Donald Trump.
You hate America own that just say it, we don't like America, we prefer dictators,
were Betas and we want an authoritarian alpha to rule us all.
We don't even have any minds, we just wanna give our minds to an idiot like
Donald Trump and have them support tyrants like Putin just say it at least
Tucker Carlson is honest and he does say it raven.
>> Yeah, I just want to say Donald Trump has no idea that keep your enemies or
your friends close and your enemies closer is from the art of war.
No shot he has any idea that that's what that's from.
So Hannity saying that was funny, but I mean otherwise it was just funny
watching Hannity try to signal to Trump to say what he wanted him to say.
It reminded me of being a little kid and like my brother and
I had broken something and my mom was like what happened to this?
And my brother is just lying through his teeth like it just broke,
we have no idea right Ray and I'm like what that's not what happened.
Just not picking up on any of the clues which those two men definitely have
the minds of children.
So that's probably what was going on in their heads too.
>> Yep and by the way he also lied of course par for the course he said,
I called him smart before they attacked.
No, he also called him smart after the attack,
after he launched an illegal invasion.
As sent in all those tanks of murder Ukrainians Trump thought it was a really
smart idea to murder Ukrainians like that.
He gets a redo here, which is the most fake redo of all time and he still bungles
it because his greed, is endless and his depravity and how immoral is endless.
And if you support Trump, that's exactly how immoral you are.
