Trump: 'Savvy' Putin is playing Biden 'like a drum.'
Former President Donald Trump continued his criticism of President Joe Biden on Wednesday, saying in a statement that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “playing” him “like a drum.”His comments come a day after the former commander in chief went well beyond most Republicans by not just criticizing Biden’s handling of Russia’s aggression toward and invasion of Ukraine, but also lionizing Putin.
Trump’s former secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, tweeted Wednesday that “allowing these thugs, autocrats, and dictators to move around freely is not in America’s best interest.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., warned that the humanitarian consequences of a larger Russian invasion “could be catastrophic.”
“The U.S. and our allies must now make the Putin regime pay for this aggression,” they said. “Congress should compel President Biden to take the tough steps his administration has opposed thus far.” The House Republican Conference went even further in criticizing Biden’s appearance, posting a C-SPAN screen grab of Biden walking away from the lectern after delivering his remarks Tuesday.For one Republican, it was an unfair slam against a president in the middle of an international crisis.
