At a campaign rally in Georgia on Saturday, former President Donald Trump once again praised Vladimir Putin, calling the Russian president's decision to place troops on the border of Ukraine a great negotiation.

The smartest person gets to the top. Trump said that Putin was smart, but they asked if he was smart. I thought he was going to be negotiating. I said that it was a great way to negotiate, put 200,000 soldiers on the border.

Trump said certain things should never have happened, and that the invasion of Ukraine would not have happened if he were in office.

Putin made a big mistake, what he has done to so many people, but that was a mistake, according to Trump.

During his remarks, Trump praised authoritarian leaders such as Kim and Putin for their intelligence.

Herschel Walker, a former pro football player, and David Perdue, a former senator, are running in the GOP Senate primary in Georgia.
