The president's remarks were ripped as "morally disgusting" by Yale history professor Timothy Snyder, who is an expert on authoritarianism.
Donald Trump drew fierce blowback on Tuesday for — once again — falsely blaming Ukraine for its invasion by Russia.
“I think I have the power to end this war and I think it’s going very well,” the president told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, after tentative peace talks were held in Saudi Arabia between U.S. and Russia officials.
Trump then mocked, though, Ukrainian complaints that its officials weren’t invited to the negotiating table.
“Today I heard, ‘Oh, oh, we weren’t invited,’” said Trump.
“Well, you’ve been there for three years. You should’ve ended it in three years,” he added. “You should have never started it, you could have made a deal.”
