As the coronavirus tore through the world in 2020, and the United States and other countries confronted a shortage of tests designed to detect the illness, then-President Donald Trump secretly sent coveted tests to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his personal use," the Washington Post reports. "Putin, petrified of the virus, accepted the supplies but took pains to prevent political fallout " not for him, but for his American counterpart. He cautioned Trump not to reveal that he had dispatched the scarce medical equipment to Moscow, according to a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward." Putin, according to the book, told Trump: "I don't want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me."

This is typical for Putin's butt ----.

Why didn't Putin's bitch get into a brawl at Herman Cain's grave?

I wonder how much this cost the US taxpayer gifting this to an ex KGB agent, current dictator?

This is not the important part of the story. The important part is that trump has been developed as a russian asset since the 1980s.

This explains almost everything that has happened over the past decade or so.

For normal candidates, this would be enough to not only ruin their candidacy, but also their entire careers. For Trump? Meh, just one of today's scandals, already deemed no big deal by his gutless, traitorous sycophants.

That test should have gone to an American. F*** that orange Insurrection is piece of s***

@#6 ... For normal candidates, this would be enough to not only ruin their candidacy, but also their entire careers. For Trump? Meh, just one of today's scandals ...

It is just not one of today's scandals.

It is yet another indication of a GOP that does not seem to be the least bit concerned (or aware) that their party seems to have been taken over by Pres Putin.

I'm curious why he didn't tell his boyfriend to shove a light up his ------, inject bleach, or take a course of Ivermectin? I mean it was good enough for his cult but not his lover? That should be ALL the information any MAGAt needs, Dotard doesn't care about you, he hates you, he only cares that you fund his lifestyle from your SS, disability, and welfare checks. and show up at his Klan rallies to stroke his ego.

Traitor.

So not only did he send the tests, because remember that was before the at-home tests were approved, he had to have also sent at least one damned machine for processing the tests. How many Americans died because the processing of their test was delayed and sick people got others sick. It was obviously more than one. Dotard is an American murdering traitor to this country.

And let's don't forget that Trump also sent 100's of America's reserve stockpile of respirators to Russia, leaving the United States desperately short of this critical life-saving medical necessity and added to the million + unnecessary deaths of American citizens ~ all of which are rightfully attributed to Trump's incompetency in a crisis.

As disgusting as this is, it's minuscule compared to the "assistance" in terms of medical equipment and cash the Trump administration sent to China in early 2020: 2017-2021.state.gov

America First! Pfft ... .

I'm pretty sure Republicans consider this to be a minor issue but if a Democrat had dobe the samething they would be screaming A IF IT WAS THE CRIME OF THE CWNRURY not it wouldn't have happened with a Democratic {resident ecause Putin doesn't own any Democrats.

I've heard when Trump and Putin meet the bulbous Americano squats, bows his head, rolls over, crashes to carpet and lets Putin scratch his belly lard until he purrs. Yup, that's what they're saying.

The Trump taint-suckers are avoiding this thread. What gives?

#19 | Posted by reinheitsgebot at 2024-10-09 12:51 PM

While COVID mass graves in the US were visible from space the demented orange pedo was thinking only of Putin. What a disgrace.

ha!

The things Trumpy does to get Vlad to give him a Permit to build the Trump Moscow Hotel... are apparently without limit.

MAGA worship treasonous capitalists, so I'll presume this topic can't be reported on Fox or any conservative news.

It's blatant and they know it.

Bottom line?

"Donald Trump denies sending Vladimir Putin Covid-19 tests during the height of the pandemic. But Putin himself says it's all true" ("The Kremlin Throws Trump Under the Bus on Secret Putin Gift" [htpps://newrepublic.com/post/186959/kremlin-putin-trump-secret-covid-tests]).

"Please don't tell anybody you sent these to me," Putin said to Trump, according to Woodward.

"I don't care," Trump replied. "Fine."

"No, no," Putin said. "I don't want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you."

If the fat traitor sent these in secret to his totalitarian BFF what else did he send him in secret?
