Trump Secretly Stayed in Touch With Putin After Leaving Office, Book Says

 







Former President Donald J. Trump has secretly spoken with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia as many as seven times since leaving office, even as he was pressuring Republicans to block military aid to Ukraine to fight Russian invaders, according to a new book by the journalist Bob Woodward. 

 The book, titled “War” and scheduled to be published next week, describes a scene in early 2024 at Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s estate in Florida, when the former president ordered an aide out of his office so he could conduct a phone call with Mr. Putin. The unidentified aide said the two might have spoken a half-dozen other times since Mr. Trump left the White House. 

 The book also reports that Mr. Trump, while still in office early during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, secretly sent Mr. Putin what were then rare Abbott Point of Care test machines for the Russian’s personal use. Mr. Putin, who has been described as particularly anxious about being infected at the time, urged Mr. Trump to not publicly reveal the gesture because it could damage the American president politically. “I don’t want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me,” Mr. Putin reportedly told him.

Biden mailed free Covid tests to all Americans. 

Trump provided Covid tests that Americans couldn't get to our enemies.

Else, why even care what's being said at the mothership? Why am I here?

Let the Covid news sink in...

At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, while Americans were dying, the US President sent machines and materials, not to help the Russian people, but to help the Russian president.

A president with a mission to destroy the United States of America.

And we have over 60 million people who want that former POTUS, reelected.

Because he always puts America first. Unless of course, he can help a Russian pres while we die.

Hours after Trump denied it, the Kremlin confirmed Putin received COVID-19 test kits from Donald Trump during the pandemic in 2020.

America first?

I read that blog because they are the epitome of willfully blind MAGAs. How else to explain Americans who support a criminal for the presidency? Not just a criminal, but an adjudicated rapist, tax fraudster, admirer of bloody dictators, instigator of insurrections against the US government, and more and more. Trump is totally without human merit. And they want him to lead America!

One doesn't need to study Sun Tzu to understand that Trump is a lying liar, and despicable human being, without a drop of human decency in him.

Shaw Kenawe said...

They are not "enemies." That's Trumpian rhetoric. They are misguided and willfully stupid (meaning a lack of common sense) in matters concerning Trump.

-FJ, and the sailors on the Mother Ship don't care. They're cultists. We know what cultists do when they give over their common sense to a talented con man. They end up either dead (Jim Jones) or live out their lives in a world of regret. Ask any recovered Scientologist.

Oh my, the ignorance and delusions of the MAGAverse. All willful of course.

Lying first, last, and always. DJT's very special talent. And YET, the MAGAmorons continue in their their fealty to the yellow scum.
