The former president, however, seemed to deliberately avoid eye contact.

“He looks so weak, Trump.

HE CANT EVEN LOOK HER IN THE EYES,” one pundit wrote onX, formerly Twitter.

She told Trump that his fantasy of being friends with Russian President Vladimir Putin is just that.

“[He is] a dictator who would eat you for lunch,” shetoldTrump.

He knows,” someone elseobserved.
