Former President Donald Trump said that Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to be a different person than he was when Trump was in charge.
"He's a different person than he was," Trump said in an interview on Fox Business. "He just doesn't seem to be the same person I was dealing with."
"The fact is what he's doing is a human tragedy," Trump said. "There has not been anything like this, in a sense maybe ever, but certainly since World War II."
Trump said that if Putin mentions the nuclear word one more time the U.S. should say "we are going to send them (submarines) over and we are going to be coasting back and fourth, up and down your coasts," Trump commented during the interview. "You can't let this tragedy continue. You can't let these thousands of people die." 
Trump wasn't asked about and didn't mention his new social media platform Truth Social, which launched late last month. He was asked about his CPAC speech allegedly being banned on YouTube (GOOGL). SPAC Digital World Acquisition (NASDAQ:DWAC) is taking Trump's media platform public. DWAC shares fell 3.6%.
Truth Social officially launched last month at the end of President's Day weekend, which sent the SPAC's shares up 10% on the platform's first full day on Feb. 21. DWAC shares have dropped 23% since then, though they have gained 35% this year.
