President Donald Trump claimed Wednesday that his Russian counterpart would rather see Hillary Clinton as president, despite the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that the Kremlin meddled in the 2016 election to boost Trump over the Democratic nominee.
“We are the most powerful country in the world and we are getting more and more powerful because I’m a big military person,” Trump told CBN’s Pat Robertson in an interview set to air in full Thursday morning on the “700 Club.” “As an example, if Hillary had won, our military would be decimated. Our energy would be much more expensive.”
That, Trump continued, is what Russian President Vladimir Putin “doesn't like about me.”
