On Monday, Putin ordered Russian troops to move into eastern Ukraine on a “peacekeeping” mission, following his decision to recognize two self-declared independent and pro-Kremlin oblasts in Ukraine.
The following day, Trump made glowing remarks about Putin’s strategy during an appearance on “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show,” calling the plan “genius” and “savvy.”
“Trump’s adulation of Putin today — including calling him a ‘genius’ — aids our enemies,” Cheney tweeted Tuesday.
“Trump’s interests don’t seem to align with the interests of the United States of America.”
