Previewing Bob Woodward’s upcoming book “War,” CNN reports convicted felon former President Trump has spoken with his boss, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin at least seven times since leaving office in 2021, one of the fat bastard’s minions told Woodward, who writes of a scene in which Trump told an aide at Mar-a-Lago to leave the room so he could take a call with Vlad. The veteran journalist writes in 2020 Donald had “secretly sent Putin a bunch of Abbott Point of Care Covid test machines for his personal use,” after which Vlad said “Please don’t tell anybody you sent these.”
“I don’t care. Fine,” Trump said, to which Putin became emphatic, saying “No, no, I don’t want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me. They don’t care about me,” the former KGB agent continued, probably realizing better than Trump that giving away scarce American medical supplies to a hostile foreign power during a pandemic might not have been the best look.
Lol. When asked about the post-2021 calls, milkshake abortion guy Jason Miller told Woodward “Um, ah, not that, ah, not that I’m aware of. I have not heard that they’re talking, so I’d push back on that.”
Woodward writes Biden DNI Avril Haines “carefully hedged” when asked about post-presidency Trump-Putin calls. “I would not purport to be aware of all contacts with Putin. I wouldn’t purport to speak to what President Trump may or may not have done,” Haines said in her non-denial.
