First of all, our veterans and our soldiers can't stand this guy. They can't stand him. They think he's the worst Commander-in-Chief, if that's what you call him, that we've ever had. They can't stand him. So let's get that straight. They like me more than just about any of them. That's based on every single bit of information. As far as Russia and Ukraine, if we had a real President, the President that knew, that was respected by Putin, he would have never invaded Ukraine. A lot of people are dead right now, much more than people know.

They talk about numbers. You can double those numbers, maybe triple those numbers. He did nothing to stop it. In fact, I think he encouraged Russia from going in. I'll tell you what happened. He was so bad with Afghanistan. It was such a horrible embarrassment, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, that when Putin watched that and he saw the incompetence that he should have fired those generals like I fired the one that you mentioned. So he's got no love loss, but he should have fired those generals. No general got fired for the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan, where we left billions of dollars of equipment behind. We lost 13 beautiful soldiers, and 38 soldiers were obliterated. And by the way, we left people behind, too. We left American citizens behind. When Putin saw that, he said, You know what? I think we're going to go in and maybe take my... This was his dream. I talked to him about it, his dream. The difference is he never would have invaded Ukraine.

Never.

Just like Israel would have never been invaded in a million years by Hamas. You know why? Because Iran was broke with me. I wouldn't let anybody do business with them. They ran out of money. They were broke. They had no money for Hamas. They had no money for anything, no money for terror. That's why you had no terror at all during my administration. This place, the whole world is blowing up under him.
