Former President Donald Trump bashed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as “ignorant and foolish” on Wednesday for his attitude toward Russia, a posture Trump believes “makes it impossible to negotiate peace.”
At the top of the video, Trump referenced DeSantis’s comments from an interview last week with Fox Nation’s Piers Morgan. DeSantis told the British commentator that Russia is “basically a gas station with a bunch of nuclear weapons,” a sentiment that echoed the rhetoric of failed 2012 Republican presidential candidate Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) and failed 2008 GOP presidential candidate late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), as Breitbart News reported.

Russia’s continued attacks make peace impossible
“While the U.S. has many vital national interests – securing our borders, addressing the crisis of readiness within our military, achieving energy security and independence, and checking the economic, cultural, and military power of the Chinese Communist Party – becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them.”
DeSantis was right.
Trump is absolutely right.
Who but Trump as prexy would have tamed Kim Jong Un?
Trump just publicly confirmed the Obama State Dept was behind the Maidan Uprising in Ukraine

DeSanctus was wrong to insult Russia as a people, a nation.
Everyone knew except for some idiot freepers
It is the invincibile ignorance fallacy in action.
It seems Russia is preparing for the worst case: https://www.rt.com/russia/573778-strategic-forces-training-yars/
That Trump is attacking DeSantis (whose position, if anything, could be criticized for being politically moderated) over Ukraine should tell you all you need to know about Trump. It’s always all about him; that’s why he allowed Fauci, Barr, Wray, etc., to destroy American democracy: he was as scared and weak as a kitten in a thunderstorm.
Seriously: go watch an old video of Fauci teabagging Trump while Trump just stands there silent and ashamed.
That’s weeks old.
>> DeSanctus was wrong to insult Russia as a people, a nation.

Except he didn’t. Trump lied. DeSantis said PUTIN was like a gas station with Nukes.
...teabagging...
Disgusting. Please don’t pollute.
STFU Donny- W. Sobchek
Mr Kruschev says he will bury you. I don’t subscribe to his point of view.
It would be such an ignorant thing to do if the Russians love their children too.
Seriously: this would be pissing literally into the wind for Russia. Bomb Ukraine, and Moscow gets the fallout.
“While the U.S. has many vital national interests – securing our borders, addressing the crisis of readiness within our military, achieving energy security and independence, and checking the economic, cultural, and military power of the Chinese Communist Party – becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them.” DeSantis was right.
LOL. You miss President Trump’s point entirely. His entire point was you can’t negotiate with someone you’re disrespecting. Calling that country a Gas Station with Nuclear Weapons is not a position from which you can engage in fruitful discussions. Trump is well-versed in the Art of the Deal.
Negotiation is something the man is astute at. There is a reason he avoided WAR during his term though he was attacked 24/7/365 by the Deep State, the dems and RINO’s of his own party. His praising dictators fed their ego’s. Put them in a position where they were willing to listen and talk.
Desantis’ copycat rhetoric of McCain and Romney is indeed completely counterproductive.
When Two Tribes go to war
A point is all that you can score
>> Calling that country a Gas Station with Nuclear Weapons <<
Your entire argument, while probably reading Trump correctly, is based on a lie. DeSantis never called Russia that. He called Putin that. So it’s Trump who’s making it difficult for a future DeSantis presidency to negotiate with Russia by lying to the Russians about him.
I was commenting about DeSantis’s initial position not his flipped statement.
“After calling the Russia-Ukraine war a ‘territorial dispute,’ DeSantis says Putin is a ‘war criminal’ and ‘basically a gas station with a bunch of nuclear weapons’”
Trump the five time draft dodger who wants to Appease Putin thinks he is the expert .
Lol.
The old guy with a bad rug needs to retirement .
