Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) upped his critiques of President Trump over his handling of the Russia-Ukraine war, claiming he will be \u201cjudged in the history books\u201d over it. <\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018It is Biden\u2019s and Zelenskyy\u2019s war\u2019 is so morally blind and factually wrong,\u201d Bacon said in a Saturday morning post<\/a> on the social platform X, referencing an earlier post from Trump.\u00a0“Mr President, Putin is the one who is the invader.”<\/p>\n

“And, now this war is on your watch and you\u2019ll be judged in the history books in the decades to come by your actions or lack thereof,” he continued. <\/p>\n

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment. <\/p>\n

Bacon is not running for reelection and is a frequent critic of Trump’s stance on the war in Eastern Europe. <\/p>\n

Trump posted Saturday on Truth Social, reiterating his call<\/a> for NATO members to halt buying Russian oil, adding that he is \u201cready\u201d to impose \u201cmajor\u201d sanctions on the Kremlin when NATO nations do the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you know, NATO\u2019S commitment to WIN has been far less than 100 percent, and the purchase of Russian Oil, by some, has been shocking! It greatly weakens your negotiating position, and bargaining power, over Russia,\u201d the president wrote. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnyway, I am ready to \u2018go\u2019 when you are. Just say when? I believe that this, plus NATO, as a group, placing 50 percent to 100 percent TARIFFS ON CHINA, to be fully withdrawn after the WAR with Russia and Ukraine is ended, will also be of great help in ENDING this deadly, but RIDICULOUS, WAR,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n

Trump signaled Friday morning, while on Fox News\u2019s \u201cFox & Friends,\u201d that his patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin is wearing thin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The deadline for a potential huddle between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Putin has passed, while Russia has continued its aerial attacks on Kyiv and other cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday, Russia said negotiations with Ukraine are on \u201cpause.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In July, Bacon praised Trump regarding the Russia-Ukraine war, when the president announced a deal with NATO<\/a> to provide weapons to Ukraine and threatened to slap sanctions on nations that buy oil and gas from Russia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump on Saturday said China has a firm grip on Russia, arguing that tariffs are a way to weaken its grasp.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not TRUMP\u2019S WAR (it would never have started if I was President!), it is Biden\u2019s and Zelenskyy\u2019s WAR. I am only here to help stop it, and save thousands of Russian and Ukrainian lives (7,118 lives lost last week, alone. CRAZY!),\u201d the president wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf NATO does as I say, the WAR will end quickly, and all of those lives will be saved!” he continued. “If not, you are just wasting my time, and the time, energy, and money of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
