Trump on Russia Invasion of Ukraine: 'Would Have Never Happened if I Were Your President'

TRUMP: “...in the history of our country, where we lost lives, left Americans behind, and surrendered $85 billion worth of the finest military equipment anywhere in the world, and Ukraine, which would have never happened if I were your president, are something —
(Cheering and Applause)
And even the Democrats admit that. That’s something I have seen them admit over and over again. But our enemies are speaking of us with scorn and laughter and derision because of those two events. But there are many more. Even just today, a missile was sent in probably by Russia to Poland, 50 miles into Poland. People are going absolutely wild and crazy, and they are not happy. They are very, very angry. Now we have a president who falls asleep at global conferences —

— was held in contempt by the pressure parliament over Afghanistan. Thanks to the — words of wisdom, he said ‘Thank you’ to the wrong country for inviting him to a major summit, on the environment of all things. They fly for days to get there and then he calls the country a name that was actually a country on another continent.
(Laughter)
And he is leading us to the brink of nuclear war, a concept unimaginable just two short years ago. You cannot mention the ‘nuclear’ word. It’s too devastating. The Green New Deal and the environment, which they say may affect us in 300 years, is all that is talked about, and yet nuclear weapons, which would destroy the world immediately, are never even discussed as a major threat. Can you imagine? They say the ocean will rise 1/8th of an inch over the next 200-300 years, but don’t worry about nuclear weapons that can take out entire countries with one shot. Something is wrong with their thinking. Under Biden and the radical Democrats, America has been mocked, derided and brought to its knees, perhaps like never before. But we are here tonight to declare that it does not have to be this way. It does not have to be this way.”
