During the broadcast on the right-wing news network, Brit Hume claimed Donald Trump "has always had a very odd conception of Vladimir Putin.""I think he's thought that he and Putin could be kind of friends and partners and could make deals together," he alleged. "I don't know what he's talking about. This is the way Putin has always been. He's always been a particularly brutal dictator, willing to take whatever measures he thought necessary to advance his interest, whatever he thought he could get away with. He's the same old Vladimir Putin."

"It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions?'
