Summary
On Saturday, Trump called the war "Putin's heinous attack."“Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, Joe Biden totally failed to deter Russia’s disgraceful invasion of Ukraine,” Trump said. Although Biden's aides scrambled to say he was not articulating a new U.S policy, his words — Putin "cannot remain in power" — may prove indelible.Some Trump supporters would welcome a stronger U.S. response.Alina Roberts, a Trump voter who was born in Latvia and lives in Atlanta, said at Saturday's rally that Putin cannot be stopped without direct U.S. intervention. “If we don’t really fight him — as an individual, if you know what I mean — it’s never going to end until he gets what he wants in its entirety.”Asked whether she meant the U.S. must remove Putin from power, she said, “That’s exactly what I’m implying.”In interviews, Trump supporters here largely voiced agreement with the former president's assertion that Putin would not have invaded had Trump been elected to a second term.
