Actually, I have no idea why BoneSpurs’s aides could possibly have been “caught off guard” – this is 150% in line with every interaction Donnie has had with his hero Uncle Vlad. It’s a sick kind of love story, I fear.

What is it with GOP presidents and former KGB agents-turned Leader of Russia? I remember W got all swooney when he looked into Putin’s eyes and could see his soul.

He is bored with Hope Hickey and Nikki Haley. He is now yearning more than ever to be Putin’s regular dickholster.

Is there not a way that the Russian embassy in Washington can arrange for a secure channel for Preshitident Manslut-Peehooker to suck Putin’s dick via hologram. He can have an inflatable Putin-doll for the Lincoln Bedroom until he gets to visit Putin to congratulate him.

The arms race! Big money there.

See? No collusion. Pay no attention to that dead guy on Fifth Avenue.

Things are falling apart, he needs his mentor to help him figure it out.

Trump aides should check in with Vlad on things like this… they need to go to the source

He never met a brutal, murdering dictator he didn’t like. But clearly there are some he likes even more than others.

There’s an arms race on?

Trump and Putin are not scheduled to be in the same place until November, according to the Washington Post.

Hanging out in the Situation Room watching the Blue Wave election returns and commiserating about the coming impeachment proceedings?

He is so itching to ape Putin’s style of dictatorship in America. The majority of Republicans in Congress would be marching in lockstep with him if he would pull it off.

An Arms Race? What’s next, a Missile Gap?

Why do they have to meet in person? Can’t Trump just wire the money to Putin?

Still no pivot… sigh…

‘I know all. I do all. I do what I want!’ says the petulant two year old currently serving as the President of the United States. Good God.

[Quote] Trump said on Tuesday that he and Putin will “probably be meeting in the not-too-distant future to discuss the arms race,”[/Quote] Did the aides have anything to say as to what arms race he was talking about or as to whether he is aware that it is 2018 as opposed to 1981?

There will be no pivot ever, but there will be divots. There will be so many divots you’ll get tired of the divots.

We still have the impending button challenge…

Someone else suggested this on another thread, but it makes sense. The leaker is T himself, and he’s bragging to friends. This is totally in line with his way of thinking: “They think I’ll say what they want me to say, but I suggested…”
T s the leaker. Or, to paraphrase a bad movie, “The call is coming from the toilet adjoining the Oval Office.”
