Putin largely in agreement with Trump
President Donald Trump said the reason Russia invaded Ukraine under President Biden instead of himself is obvious.
Trump had a historic meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday to discuss the possibility of peace with Ukraine. In a press conference after their discussion, Putin confirmed Trump's long-held claim that he would not have started a war with the Ukraine if Trump was in the Oval Office at the time, in early 2022.
Speaking with Fox News' Sean Hannity soon after, Trump said he knew exactly why that invasion happened under President Biden, and not under his watch.
Hannity brought up Putin's statement, and asked if the Russian leader gave specific reasons as to why he made the remark.
"He did," Trump began. "I know the reason, it's gross incompetence. We have a border that is totally close now and people come in, but they come in legally."
Trump revealed that not only did Putin say that if he had won the 2020 presidential election "we wouldn't have had a war," but also that Trump was cheated out of an election victory, as well.
The POTUS said that Putin pinpointed mail-in voting as the apparatus Democrats used to rig the election.
"He said your election was rigged because you have mail-in voting. He said mail-in voting, every election, he said no country has mail-in voting. It is impossible to have mail-in voting and have honest elections," Trump recalled, claiming that Putin said he won the presidency "by so much."
The 47th president explained that Putin also complimented the quick turnaround the United States has had since Biden left office, and that the U.S. is "hot as a pistol."
"A year ago he thought [the country] was dead," Trump relayed.
Trump also referred to the 2020 election as a "tragedy" because Biden taking office actually produced "something that was unthinkable."

I have long thought the 2020 election was rigged. Some swing states' outcomes look suspect. The Biden presidency turned out to be a disaster. Spending and inflation soared, and Russia invaded Ukraine. Biden opened the border to millions of illegals. Voters recognized how awful the Biden-Harris team was and went back to Trump in 2024.
