I agree with him.

Whether you like it or not, Putin made Brandon look like an idiot on the world stage

Now China is going to muscle Taiwan.

How's your vote looking now?

Putin is savvy.

He's mopping the floor with Biden.

It's embarrassing. You're part of it.

Is this cheering for Putin?

No

If Reagan is rolling over in his grave, it's because Biden is destroying all the work done to break up the Soviet Union and end the cold war.

Mongo, I love how the media is oh-so-aghast over Trump calling Putin a "savvy genius."

Here is U.S. Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters being interviewed by Jim Acosta on CNN. He called Putin "talented", "brilliant", and a "genius" ...

CNN.com - Transcripts
But my message to American decision makers do not -- just because Putin didn't go to the right schools, just because he doesn't have great table manners. Don't take him lightly. Here's a man who's punked three U.S. presidents in a row working on a fourth. He's -- he was dealt a pair of eights. We have a royal flush, and we followed it again and again. So Putin is an extremely talented, a brilliant man, sometimes a crude man, but never underestimate the genius of the outsider.
Here's Washington Monthly calling Putin what everyone else calls him, a "chess master."

Speaking of the "chess master" personna, here's an editorial debunking that image:

Putin’s No Chess Master – Smart Again

But why debunk that image if no one (other than Orange Man) dared to call Putin a "genius" in the first place?
