Trump: I could get Putin out of Syria by asking him for a favor over dinner in Canada. NOT THE ONION
Donald Trump claims Putin annexed Crimea ‘because he didn’t respect’ Barack Obama
“They expelled Russia and a reporter asked me, ‘Do you think you would be better off with Russia’ and I said absolutely,” Trump said. “We spend probably 25 percent of our time talking about Russia. I said to myself, ‘Wouldn’t it be better if they were here?'”
Trump then went on to say that he would be able to get Putin to listen to him simply by asking the Russian president to “do him a favor” and stop invading other countries.
“I’m not for Russia, I’m for the United States, but as an example example, if Vladimir Putin were sitting next to me today instead of one of the others and we were having dinner the other night in Canada I could say, ‘Would you do me a favor? Would you get out of Syria? Would you do me a favor, would you get out of Ukraine?'” Trump said.
It is unclear why Trump has not asked the Russian leader to “get out of Syria” or “get out of Crimea.” Indeed, Trump has also not asked Putin to stop trying to infiltrate the 2018 midterm election.
