YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump told NBC News that he's "very angry" with Putin, may impose secondary tariffs on Russian oil if he feels like President Vladimir Putin is to blame for failing to negotiate a ceasefire with Ukraine, and threatened to bomb Iran if a nuclear deal isn't reached. Democratic Rep. Becca Balint of Vermont tells MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin that these comments are attempts to distract from this week's national security breach and a "way for him to once again flex his muscles as the tough guy. It is so transparent, we have seen this game over and over again: this is textbook authoritarianism."
