Trump Goes On Wide-Ranging Rant When Hannity Asks Him To Describe The ‘Vibe’ At Bombshell Summit
President Donald Trump went on a winding rant when Fox News host Sean Hannity asked him about the “vibe” at his high-stakes his summit with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin.
Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin Friday as the two leaders met for a high-stakes summit meeting in Anchorage, Alaska that did not result in a hoped-for ceasefire. Media observers like Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich came away “stunned” by the impression that Putin had “steamrolled” Trump.
But Trump got a warmer reception during an interview that aired on Friday night’s edition of Fox News Channel’s Hannity, hours after the summit ended.
Hannity kicked off the interview by asking about the “vibe” and got a scattershot response that included Trump’s false election claims:
HANNITY: So you said before the interview, you said, in two minutes, I will know.
I watched very closely when you met him on the red carpet after both your planes landed. What vibe did you get in two minutes?
TRUMP: Well, I always had a great relationship with President Putin, and we would have done great things together in terms of their land is incredible, their — the rare earth, the oil, gas, everything, it’s incredible. It’s the largest piece of land in the world as a nation by far.
I think they have 11 time zones, if you can believe it. That’s big stuff. But we would have done a lot of great things. But we had the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, which stopped us from doing that. We would have had — we would have done so great.
But we had the greatest, one of the great hoaxes. I mean, there were others, like the election itself, as you know, as you covered better than anyone. But it was a rigged election and a horrible thing that took place in 2020. But we would have had a great relationship.
But we did amazingly well considering. He would look and see what happened. He would think we’re crazy with the made-up Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.
So we had something very important. And we had a very good meeting today. But we will see. I mean, it’s — you have to get a deal. We agreed on a lot of points. I want to see people stop dying in Ukraine, and that’s what’s happening. We’re losing 5,000, 6,000, 7,000. They’re Russians, mostly Russians, and they’re Ukrainian soldiers.
There’s some people dying in cities and towns where they’re trying to blow up missile manufacturers and other things in some cities. I don’t know if you know what’s going on there, but there are a lot of people dying. And if we can end that war, it would be very good.
And I was very happy to hear him say, if I was president, that war would have never happened.
