Former President Donald Trump labeled Russian President Vladimir Putin “smart” because of the way he moved to invade Ukraine.
During an event at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday, Trump said, “He’s taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I’d say that’s pretty smart.”
“He’s taking over a country, literally a vast, vast location. A great piece of land with a lot of people and just walking right in. This would have never happened, ever in a million years, it would have never happened.”

During an appearance on Fox News later on Wednesday, Trump claimed, “He sees the weakness and the incompetence and the stupidity of this administration.”
“As an American, I am angry about it, and I’m saddened by it. It happened because of a rigged election,” he added.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that the 2020 presidential election was “rigged.” However, several recounts and legal challenges did not change the results of the election or find evidence to support his claim.
