Donald Trump said Joe Biden is “probably sleeping right now” as it was announced that the president would address Russia’s attack on Ukraine “tomorrow in the early afternoon” after the White House’s only response was to issue a press release.
Biden failed to make a public appearance in the immediate hours after Russian forces bombarded Ukrainian military infrastructure across the country.
The White House issued a press release revealing that Biden will only address the massive escalation “tomorrow in the early afternoon,” presumably after he has woken up.
However, Donald Trump wasted no time in responding to the crisis, appearing on Fox News last night.
After host Laura Ingraham told Trump that Biden was “monitoring the situation” and would speak with G7 leaders about it later on Thursday, Trump slammed the president’s slow response.

“I don’t think he’s monitoring, I think he is probably sleeping right now,” said Trump.
The former president went on to assert that Putin would have never attacked Ukraine if he was still president and the 2020 election hadn’t been “rigged.”
“This should have never happened. This would not have happened during my administration. In fact, some people are saying why didn’t this take place over the last four years? It didn’t for a very good reason and I’ll explain that to you someday, but it wouldn’t have taken place and it wouldn’t have taken place right now. It’s a sad thing for the world and the country and a lot of people that will be needlessly killed,” said Trump.
According to Trump, Putin was emboldened by Biden’s complete mishandling of the Afghanistan pullout.
“He saw the weakness and you know, it really started with the weakness in Afghanistan,” he said. “The way they pulled out of Afghanistan. I really believe that’s where he started thinking he could do this.”

As Russia’s attack on Ukraine began on Wednesday night, Trump called in to the Laura Ingraham show on FOX News to offer some comments.
Trump laid the blame on Joe Biden’s weakness as a leader and said that this would not have happened on his watch.
He also said it was a sad development for the world and the country.

Donald Trump Says Biden’s ‘Weakness, Incompetence, Stupidity’ Led to Invasion
Former President Donald Trump claims that the invasion of Ukraine by Russia is due to President Joe Biden’s “weakness,” “incompetence” and “stupidity.”
The former president, speaking Wednesday night on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle, told host Laura Ingraham that Biden “doesn’t know what the hell he is doing.”
“It’s a disgrace,” Trump claimed. “It’s an absolute disgrace.”
Trump continued by saying that the invasion of Russia would not have happened had he won the 2020 presidential election.
“I think the whole thing again, would have never happened,” Trump said about the invasion. “It shouldn’t happen, and it’s a very sad thing.”
“It all happened because of a rigged election. This would’ve never happened,” the former president added.
Trump also claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin had decided to invade Ukraine because he felt “weakness” from the United States under the leadership of Biden. This has resulted, Trump claimed, in Putin pushing toward a complete invasion of Ukraine.
“[Putin] was going to be satisfied with the beast,” Trump said. “And now he sees the weakness and the incompetence of the stupidity of this administration.”

Trump is not wrong.
In fact, at the time of Trump’s call, Joe Biden was not even available for comment.
