Putin Mocks Trump For Being Jealous Of President Biden

During an interview that aired on Russian media this week, Vladimir Putin appeared to take a dig at Donald Trump by claiming that the former president was very jealous of President Biden. Putin recalled a conversation that he had with Trump where Trump accused him of wanting "Sleepy Joe" to win the election, and Putin suggested that Trump was very hurt by this. The fact that Trump likes to think that Putin is backing him makes this entire interview that much funnier, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump found out this week that his admiration of Vladimir Putin, the dictator of Russia, um, isn't exactly reciprocal. 'cause this week on the Russian state controlled media in the country, an interview aired with Vladimir Putin, where he actually, with a smirk on his face, trashed Donald Trump for being jealous of President Biden. See, here's what happened. Uh, back in 2020, Vladimir Putin says, uh, you know, he was more in favor of Biden winning the election. So he had a conversation with Donald Trump that apparently we didn't know happened, which that alone is like raising a big red flag. But Putin said that this is what happened during that conversation with Donald Trump. This was more than four years ago, he told me that in one conversation, you want him to win. Excuse me, I'll say it like he did. It's just direct speech for Sleepy Joe to win.

He told me this when he was still president. I forgive my horrible Russian, uh, accent there. I don't even know if I was trying to do it or not. But, so Putin again, had a smirk on his face when he said it, taking shots at Donald Trump, like he was mad that, uh, you know, I'm, I'm saying that Joe Biden is more experienced and he's a traditional politician, which is also, by the way, what Vladimir Putin has said about the 2024 election. Uh, he said, quote, he's a more experienced, predictable person, an old school politician. So according to Putin publicly, which, you know, I trust that about as far as I can throw it, Putin's actually back in Biden in 2024. But he is at least openly mocking Donald Trump. And that to me is just the funniest turn of events that I have seen in politics in a very long time.

Obviously, we do know that Russia did in fact, interfere with the 2016 elections. Uh, they were purchasing ads on Facebook. They were, you know, they had these like, uh, uh, story mills basically pushing out propaganda against the Democrats and in favor of Donald Trump. Those are all verifiable things that did happen. I'm not saying that Russia went in and meddled with the election itself, but they were spreading propaganda here, the United States. And there's no doubt about that. Like that has been verified. And now that same guy, that same guy that was totally in Donald Trump's camp, the guy that got his little closed door meeting over in Russia with Donald Trump, made Donald Trump kiss the ring, is now out there publicly humiliating him. Now, as of at least this recording, uh, Trump has not spoken out publicly about what Putin said, and I doubt he will. You know, Trump has maintained

Over the last few months that, uh, or last few years actually, uh, that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if Trump was president, right? They respected us, the United States too much. They wouldn't have done something like that. And then Trump has also said, I would let Putin take Ukraine. So he's both said Putin wouldn't have done it, but he totally would've allowed Putin to do it. And Putin's out there just making fun of him every chance he gets. So there's your choice America. Do you want the guy that's openly being mocked by foreign leaders on their state run media channels, or do you want the guy that's at least a little bit more respected on the world stage? 'cause I'm gonna go with the guy that's a little bit more respected any day of the week.
