Trump is a pro-Russian candidate, and he doesn't even fully understand what is happening over there.
This statement is a pretty big foreign policy misstep.
“He’s not going into Ukraine, okay, just so you understand,” Trump responded. “He’s not gonna go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want.”
Stephanopoulos then pointed out that Putin is “already there” and noted Trump had said he’d consider recognizing Russia’s annexation of Crimea if he were elected president.
Trump said he’d “take a look at” the Russian take-over of Crimea but then made a pro-Kremlin talking point.
“But you know, the people of Crimea, from what I’ve heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were,” Trump said. “And you have to look at that, also. Now, that was under– just so you understand, that was done under Obama’s administration.”
