Trump praised Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, ranted about windmills, and pushed his baseless election-fraud claims at a GOP retreat, report says
Trump said Republicans have "to stick together" while insulting two of his GOP foes at an event hosted by the Senate GOP's campaign arm.

"In the process, Trump is causing headaches for GOP House and Senate leaders who are intent on recapturing both chambers in 2022.
Rep. Tom Emmer, the chairman of House Republicans' campaign arm, reportedly distanced himself from the statement in a Thursday call with reporters, describing Trump as a "private citizen" who is "entitled to his opinion."
Rural, predominantly Republican areas of Georgia saw the largest drop-offs in voter turnout between the November 2020 general election and the January 2021 runoffs, an indication of the struggles the party may face without Trump at the top of the ticket while his election lies dominate GOP politics."
