A clip from last year’s first presidential debate between Kamala Harris
and Donald Trump has resurfaced online, reigniting discussions about Harris’
previous remarks on Trump’s relationship with Vladimir Putin.
In the debate, Harris warned Trump about his increasing closeness to Putin,
questioning his stance on the Russian dictator. This clip has gained attention
as preparations for a potential meeting between the two leaders are reportedly
underway, as mentioned by Russia’s deputy foreign minister.
One viral post on X featured Harris challenging Trump, urging him to explain to
Polish-Americans how he would “give up” for a “friendship” with a dictator like Putin.
The clip has sparked reactions, with many users noting how accurately she predicted the situation.
Meanwhile, Trump was recently questioned about whether he would call Putin a “dictator.”
He hesitated before saying, “Let’s see how it all works out,” suggesting the possibility
of a “good settlement.” He also controversially claimed that Ukraine “started”
the war, prompting backlash from Americans on social media.
While Trump has praised Putin and even echoed his campaign slogan, he recently labeled Ukrainian President Zelenskyy
a “dictator” for allegedly not holding elections amid the war. Trump’s remarks have
raised concerns, especially after he criticized Zelensky’s leadership and his handling of the situation.
The renewed debate highlights the ongoing tension and differing views on the Russia-Ukraine
conflict and Trump’s relationship with authoritarian leaders.
