Conservative attorney George Conway ridiculed Donald Trump on Tuesday for only now appearing to realize that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been manipulating him for years.
“There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reasons to believe that @realDonaldTrump is a fool,” Conway posted on X, the Elon Musk-owned platform formerly known as Twitter.
Then the lawyer zinged: “But the fact that it took almost a decade for him to figure out that Putin has been playing him for one is as good as any.”
Conway, a longtime critic of Trump despite his ex-wife Kellyanne Conway’s ties to the president, was commenting on footage of Trump voicing his frustration over stalled efforts to broker peace in Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Trump said the ongoing conflict, which Russia launched in 2022, should “never” have happened and lamented how “a lot of people are dying.”
