I thought we had a deal done four times and then you go home and you see he just attacked a nursing home or something in Kyiv.

And they’ll be at 100%.”Related...Donald Trump Says Vladimir Putin 'Bombs Everybody' In Latest Blast At Russian PresidentFormer Russian PM Says Putin Could Be Forced To End The Ukraine War This YearFormer UK Intelligence Chief Says Vladimir Putin Has 'Played Trump Like A Violin'
