Mikheil Saakashvili – The US President's security and my former security were trained by the same people, in both cases the security acted the same way - no one reproaches Donald Trump, while for many years I hae been criticized “for crawling on the ground in Gori”

The US President's security and my former security were trained by the same people, because at that time we had very close relations with America. In both cases, there was an immediate threat and the security acted the same way, - the third President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, writes on social networks, responding to the attempted attack on US President Donald Trump.

As Saakashvili notes, no one reproaches US President Donald Trump, while for many years he has been criticized “for crawling on the ground in Gori".

“The American president’s security and my former security were trained by the same people, because we had very close relations with America. In both cases, there was an immediate threat and the security acted in the same way. But if no one blames Trump for this, they have been condemning me for many years by saying “Misha has been crawling on the ground in Gori”. This is how Russian propaganda works, and today it repeats the narratives “No, some of Misha’s actions were incomprehensible and ridiculous” and is a direct victim of this propaganda.

The Russians have always declared their targets crazy, strange, with unacceptable behavior in order to create suspicion, distrust, and hatred in society. It will take years for Georgian society to heal from this impact after Ivanishvili’s removal,” Saakashvili wrote on Facebook.

For information, an attack occurred in Washington, D.C., on Saturday evening during a White House Correspondents' Association dinner. The suspect in the attack, 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen, has been charged with federal charges of attempting to assassinate US President Donald Trump.
