President Trump slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, warning Americans that if they want to hold Russia at bay, “all you can do is hope you don’t get that as President.”
“All you can do is make sure you get a good president not, one of these wackos, like in California that runs the worst state anybody’s seen, or that guy in Illinois, who his family threw him out of the business because he was no good,” Trump said when asked how to handle Russia in the future.
Pritzker, he said, has “zero chance,” but “Maybe Newscum has a little bit of a chance.”
As noted by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday, “Under George W. Bush, Russia invaded Georgia. Under Barack Obama, Russia took Crimea. Under Joe Biden, Russia invaded Ukraine, but under President Trump, Russia did not invade, nor take anything.” She continued, “President Trump is the only President this century, Republican or Democrat, who has held Russia in check and ensured peace in Europe.”
It was Biden, of course, who started the war to begin with. Putin even agreed that the war would have never started if Trump were President at the time Russia invaded! “In 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague that the situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities,” Putin said during a press conference with Trump.
The President appeared on Fox and Friends on Tuesday morning following the historic peace summit at the White House on Monday, where he engaged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and other big leaders from Europe in peace negotiations.
This followed Trump’s meeting with Putin in Alaska, where the two came to an agreement to end the war, pending Ukraine and NATO negotiations.
After meeting with Zelensky and seven European allies, Trump called Putin, and he agreed to meet with Zelensky in a bilateral summit and later with Trump and Zelensky.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, President Trump discussed his phone call with the Fox and Friends panel.

Fox co-host Ainsley Earhardt also asked the President how the US will ensure that Putin “doesn’t inch in closer” or invade Ukraine, and his answer was very simple: Don’t get a weak President.
Trump then highlighted some of the “superstars” in his administration, signaling that any one of them could be the next presidential nominee. “We have a great bench, as you know that, we have great talent,” he said.
WATCH:
Earhardt: There was a lot of talk yesterday when we were watching this about what happens after your presidency. How can we ensure that this conflict, that Putin doesn’t inch in closer or more into the Ukraine territory? Is there anything that we can do? Can our can our congressmen and women pass any laws that would involve Article Five? How would that be handled?
Trump: All you can do is make sure you get a good president not, one of these wackos, like in California that runs the worst state anybody’s seen, or that guy in Illinois, who his family threw him out of the business because he was no good. Now he’s running Illinois, and he wants to run for president. He’s got zero chance. Maybe Newscum has a little bit of a chance, I don’t know. It’s hard to believe, because his record’s bad, but all you can do is hope you don’t get that as President. We have a great bench, as you know that, we have great talent. And JD, and Marco, and Scott Bessent has been great, and Howard— they’re all, I mean, we have such superstars.
Remember this, take a look at the border. The border was a disaster. Millions of people were pouring through, open border. Within two months, it was perfect, and within, now, every week, every month, they say zero people. Zero people are coming in illegally. We were taking people from prisons all over the world, gang members, insane asylum, mental patients from the worst insane asylums in the world, dropped into our to our place. So, now we have a very secure border, beautiful border. I built hundreds of miles of wall. Without that, we couldn’t have secured border.
