"No, she's… I'm proud of the fact her movie's so successful. It's a tremendous hit," he said, adding: "She does some very consequential work. I think you're going to see in the end that she's going to go down as one of the truly great first ladies when you see what she's doing with Russia, Ukraine. She's done a good job; she works very hard."
