Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday denounced former President Donald Trump for speaking highly of Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression against Ukraine.
"It is outrageous, if unsurprising, that Trump would praise Putin's murderous invasion of Ukraine as an act of 'genius,'" the independent senator from Vermont tweeted. "It should concern us all that Putin is exactly the kind of leader Trump would like to be, and that so few Republicans have the courage to say this out loud."

Putin on Tuesday declared two Ukrainian breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent, which Trump at the time called "genius" and "savvy."
"I went in yesterday, and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine of Ukraine Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful," Trump said during a podcast interview. "I said, 'How smart is that?' And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper."

IMHO, 14th amendment should be done against all of the Senate traitors that refused to impeach tRump. Of course, by then, impeaching the moron would be too late but I want to ensure that this moron can never ever run for public office again in this Country, thus causing more harm to this Country of ours.

(13,571 posts)Trump desires to be just like Putin.
He wants to be one of the big bad despots.
He's brought chaos, death and misery to the American people.
He would allow Putin to take Alaska, right before our eyes.
Look who he admires most, and what he says about despotic acts.
