The Belarusian dictator said that the new US president allegedly made a mistake with the text of his speech, since he focused it on criticizing his predecessors.

Self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that he watched the inauguration of US President Donald Trump live and he really didn’t like one moment, BelTA reports .

“To be honest, I was not thrilled with Joe Biden, the previous president. But I looked at him, he looked somehow more decent than Trump himself. He sat there (Joe Biden – UNIAN), with his hands down. As it was, everything had already been said, you (Trump – UNIAN) had already said it all. Why did you spend half of your speech slandering this poor old man? You could see how he sat there, with his hands down, this poor Biden together with Kamala Harris. This woman, the poor thing, was thrown to the surface against Trump. She fought, well done, she held on tight. And we must give her credit. There is no need to destroy them,” Lukashenko commented.

He also clarified that this is his opinion and “such an emotional impression” from Trump’s speech. Lukashenko also added that he perceived “this entire inauguration and these statements” very negatively.

“I was overwhelmed with these emotions. And I stopped listening when he started criticizing Biden, Harris and others. You can’t do that. You can’t insult and humiliate those who were before you. Well, they were. They did badly – correct these mistakes, and the people will see – they will say thank you. This is the essence of our presidential work,” the Belarusian dictator said.
