“I believe he wants peace. I believe that President Putin — when I spoke to him yesterday, I mean, I know him very well — yeah, I think he wants peace.

I think he would tell me if he didn’t, I think he’d like to see peace,” Trump began from behind the Resolute Desk.

As Collins asked, “Do you trust President Putin?” without being called upon, Trump countered, “I know [Biden is] a friend of yours.”

Then came the knockout blow: “He’s a friend of CNN.

Because they have no credibility,” Trump declared, in his signature style.
