Putin called Trump “talented” when he was running for the Republican nomination in 2016; Trump responded by saying that even if Putin killed journalists and invaded other countries, “at least he’s a leader, unlike what we have in this country.” During his campaign against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Trump publicly appealed to Russia to hack her accounts. When Putin denied any involvement in US election hacking, Trump praised him as “very, very strong.” It’s tempting to think that Trump defends Putin solely out of self-interest, since Putin has verbally and quite possibly materially supported Trump’s political career. But Trump also praises many authoritarian leaders — like North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, or Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan — who were not involved in US election tampering. “…I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper….We could use that on our southern border” Trump is not just cheering on Putin’s invasion of Ukraine here.
