Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) believes she knows why failed former president Donald Trump is constantly praising Russian war criminal Vladimir Putin, and she’s letting the world know.
Pelosi was a guest on MSNBC’s “Inside With Jen Psaki” Monday evening, and she told the host, “What does he have on Donald Trump that he has to constantly be catering to Putin?”
Calling Putin one of “the most evil people in the world,” Pelosi continued.
“I don’t know what he has on him, but I think it’s probably financial. Or something on the come ― something that he expects to get.”
Think about this: Have you ever once heard Trump say anything negative about Putin? And now consider some of the many positive things the failed former U.S. president has said regarding the Russian president:
- “I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius,’” Trump said during an interview. “Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine – of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.”
- “They say, ‘Trump said Putin’s smart.’ I mean, he’s taking over a country for two dollars’ worth of sanctions,” Trump told a crowd at a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago. “I’d say that’s pretty smart. He’s taking over a country – really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in.”
- In a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump said, “Yesterday reporters asked me if I thought President Putin was smart. I said, ‘Of course, he’s smart,’ to which I was greeted with ‘Oh, that’s such a terrible thing to say.’ I like to tell them, ‘Yes, he’s smart.’”
Whatever the reason Trump is so enamored with Putin, is says a lot about Donald that he chooses to admire a man who has gleefully murdered women and children, taken Ukrainian kids hostage, and continues to engage in atrocities on a daily basis.
And whatever Putin has on Trump, the two of them deserve each other. Both of them are equally craven and evil.
