Yet, in just 30 seconds, conservative pundit Ben Shapiro proved that if the Kremlin had their druthers, they’d probably rather have Barack Obama back in place at 1600 Pennsylvania.

Did President Trump collude with Russian leader Vladimir Putin during the 2016 election and beyond? Bill Maher certainly thinks so. Yet, in just 30 seconds, conservative pundit Ben Shapiro proved that if the Kremlin had their druthers, they’d probably rather have Barack Obama back in place at 1600 Pennsylvania.
Shapiro appeared on Maher’s HBO show Friday, and heavily on the agenda was Trump’s relationship with Putin and Russia, particularly given that Maher and Shapiro are on opposite sides of the debate.
The discussion began after a discussion of whether or not Trump was a thought leader. Shapiro, who describes himself as a “sometimes-Trumper” and has been critical of the president’s character, claimed that he wasn’t.
“Can he have some thoughts?” Maher said.
“I don’t know, can he?” Shapiro asked with a laugh. “You tell me.”
“Well, it seems like his only thoughts, to me, are to work with Vladimir Putin to make Russia great again,” Maher responded.
“He’s been a lot harsher on Putin than Obama was, by the way,” Shapiro said, drawing incredulity from Maher.
“Not in terms of his rhetoric, in terms of his actions,” Shapiro continued. “He has armed the people of Ukraine with deadly weapons, something which Obama would not do. Two-hundred Russian soldiers were killed in Syria by U.S. forces under Donald Trump, not under Barack Obama, because Barack Obama said to (former Russian President) Dmitry Medvedyev that he wanted to provide him with flexibility in 2012. Crimea was annexed under Barack Obama.”
