It's 930 days since Russia began its full scale invasion of Ukraine.
And after Vladimir Putin said that Russia will support Kamala Harris in the US Presidential election, Donald Trump, he's not happy.
He gave his reaction at a rally over the weekend.
He endorsed Kamala.
I was very offended by that.
I wonder why he endorsed Kamala.
No, he's a chess player.
I think it was done maybe with a smile.
I don't know.
Who the hell knows?
Nobody's going to figure it out.
They're about 19 steps ahead of us.
But this whole Russia thing, nobody was tougher on Russia in history than Trump.
And the person that knows that better than anyone is President Vladimir Putin.
He knows it better than anyone.
And I'll tell you what, I will have that war finished and done and settled before I get to the White House as President elect.
I will get that done.
