Filmmaker Alex Holder told Politico Playbook that fat former President Trump and his savvy, genius pal Russian dictator Vladimir Putin held an October 25th, 2020 call that was left off the official White House schedule. “My memory is,” Holder said of an interview with Trump that was abruptly canceled while Holder was embedded with the campaign on Air Force One, “that the chief of staff sort of came over and said that the interview couldn’t happen today because the president was on the phone. And I believe, if I remember correctly, that he said that he was on the phone to the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, which is why the interview had to be postponed.”

Politico Playbook surmises that Holder’s recollection of the timing of the call lines up with news of Putin publicly saying that allegations of Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine and Russia were bogus. “Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday that he saw nothing criminal in Hunter Biden’s past business ties with Ukraine or Russia, marking out his disagreement with one of Donald Trump’s attack lines in the U.S. presidential election,” a Reuters wire article carried by Newsmax. The piece was published just minutes before the short flight on Air Force between Trump’s campaign stops in New Hampshire and Maine, per Politico Playbook. Meaning Trump saw the article in his newsfeed on Twitter or on Newsmax’s crawler at the bottom of their broadcast chyron and immediately called Putin to bitch and plead with him to take it back.
