I think you will have to give an example. > The second, and much more egregious crime, is that he’s a climate change denier and proposes appeasement towards Russia. Those are opinions, not crimes. And I don't believe he denies climate change, but rather many of the proposals designed to combat it are causing more harm than good, e.g. Germany unilaterally deciding to decarbonise whilst relying on Russian gas.
