Trump: Putin 'Doesn't Seem to Be the Same Person I Was Dealing With'
Newsmax ^ | March 21, 2022 | Jeremy Frankel

Posted on 03/22/2022 9:43:43 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

Former President Donald Trump told Fox Business on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has seemingly changed since two men were dealing with one another during the Trump administration.

...

Speaking with Fox Business’ “Varney & Company,” Trump said that Putin “seems to be different” than the person he had routinely been in contact with when he was president. When asked if he respected Putin, Trump reiterated his sense that something had changed. He said that “[Putin] is a different person.

" I’ll tell you something — I got along with him, and look, I got along with him loving this country, and he loves his country, OK? But he’s a different person than he was. He seems to be different. He looks different. He looks different. He’s a different person.”

I believe Trump.

I would also point out that Trump is a different person than the person he was when he declared his Candidacy for the Presidency.

I will also point out that Putin has been dealing with the same group of Western Liberals that assembled to remove him from the Presidency and steal the 2020 Presidential Election.

Putin sticks out his snout and sniffs for power and willingness to fight. When he smells the absence of that, he moves accordingly, invading the Ukes once during obambam’s term and now during Biden’s.

Trump’s hedging his bets. Putin may still be in power in ‘25. Better to deal with the devil you know. A weakened devil has a lot more to offer over the unknown.

Regardless of speculation, it’s a real feather in Trump’s cap that Putin didn’t dare try any of this on his watch.

Putin has had to deal with Biden and the constant goading and taunting of the Biden-supported Ukraine as the Ukrainians attack the Russian populations of those border areas.

If it were just taunting, that might be one thing. But you know we’re giving Ukraine arms, drones, etc. up one side and down the other through back channels.

This was probably arranged by Hunter “10% for the Big Guy” Biden, who sure seems to be pretty familiar with back channels.

And of course just for the heck of it, we’re also demonizing and cancelling ordinary Russian citizens and even historical figures.

I think Putin once sort of believed that the US fought fair, whether he liked us or not...but that’s sure not the case now, especially after Russia Russia Russia was used as the slogan to get rid of Trump ever since the day of his candidacy.

None of this would be happening with Trump.

Trump knows that he will have to deal with Putin or his replacement if he is elected in 2024. The same with Kim and Xi. All of that will be difficult to do.

He’s older, and dealing with an imbecile as POTUS. For an evil sob like Putin, it will change what he shows.

Don't worry, they'll change their tune as soon as Trump does. They don't think critically.

Stop you push posting.

A rational discussion of the situation is not praising Putin.

No, Trump is a Great Man who is candid with the people.

He is quite adept and unintimidated at dealing with powerful people and his goal is accomplishing improvement and making a deal.

Trump acts in the best interests of America and expects representatives of foreign nations to act in the interests of those nations, and that includes his international demeanor.

Pretty much dead on.

I'll bet you're unpopular around the White House.
