But I&rsquo;m telling you, Biden said the wrong things, Zelensky said the wrong things, and they got attacked, which was a bad thing to do, but Russia could have been talked out of it so easily.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>At the White House, Trump notably did not directly answer a question on whether or not he believes Putin is a &ldquo;dictator.&rdquo; He had used the word earlier this week to describe Zelensky instead.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think that President Putin and President Zelensky are going to have to get together because you know what?
