Former President Donald Trump bashed Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as \u201cignorant and foolish\u201d on Wednesday for his attitude toward Russia, a posture Trump believes \u201cmakes it impossible to negotiate peace.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the top of the video, Trump referenced DeSantis\u2019s comments from an interview last week with Fox Nation\u2019s Piers Morgan. DeSantis told the British commentator that\u00a0Russia is \u201cbasically a gas station with a bunch of nuclear weapons,\u201d a sentiment that echoed the rhetoric of failed 2012 Republican presidential candidate Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) and failed 2008 GOP presidential candidate late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), as Breitbart News\u00a0reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statesmanship and Peacemaking requires seriousness, sophistication, and historical perspective, not mindless talking points and shallow Washington bromides. Sadly, some people\u2019s worldviews are too simple-minded to make peace. pic.twitter.com\/smakAKtRqt<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said this kind of approach \u201cis exactly the kind of simple-minded thinking that has produced decades of failed diplomacy and ultimately war.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the stance belittles Russia and shows a lack of respect for the nation\u2019s culture and history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those such as Mitt Romney and Ron DeSantis, very much alike, who insist on arrogantly treating Russia as deeply inferior to the other nations of the world with no history, or culture, or pride, are not only ignorant and foolish but their attitude makes it impossible to negotiate peace, absolutely impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under my administration we were tough on Russia\u2026 but we also demonstrated respect for Russia and the Russian people. We demonstrated understanding for Russian history and the fact Russia lost over 20 million lives in World War II; they were fighting with us.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also referenced additional comments from DeSantis\u2019s Morgan interview, in which he dubbed Putin a \u201cwar criminal\u201d who should be \u201cheld accountable\u201d for the Ukraine invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis kind of neo-con rhetoric mocking Russia\u2019s nuclear weapons, along with implying that Putin must be tried and presumably executed as a war criminal, only increases the chances of deadly nuclear escalation,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeSantis\u2019s position on Russia and Putin displays a \u201clack of depth, a lack of seriousness, and a lack of sophistication on the subtleties and complexities of foreign policy,\u201d in the 45th president\u2019s view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump declared that Americans \u201cneed a statesman and peacemaker in the White House\u201d and that he is the lone candidate who could prevent a third world war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
