I am not surprised he did not discuss it but am amazed that he admitted it. I guess you don’t bring up anything during conversations with the boss that might upset him.

He couldn’t say too much, because he had something in his mouth.

Of course Trump never discussed it. He was too busy asking Vlad if Russian babes get off dreaming about having sex with demons.

The Russians could nuke NYC and he would still say the same thing.

He’s beyond disgraceful. He’s a traitor.

I watched Swan discussing the interview this morning on MSNBC. He’s a good interviewer and great reporter.

I especially liked the part of the interview where Trump attempted to school Swan on the fall of the USSR. :roll_eyes:

The whole “bounties” plot is BS intended to derail the Taliban talks and keep America in Afghanistan for another 20 years. This is another instance that I am grateful that Trump is a cowardly moron.

The deep state does exist, we have seen it lately, Police organizations sabotaging and undermining the authority of Civilian elected leaders. This is an example of the Industrial Military-Complex undermining foreign policy.

Hey, Rick Wilson, George Conway, David Frum, George Will, Bill Krystol, Steve Schmidt, and all of the rest of you “Lincoln Project” and “Never Trump!” motherfuckers:

Where are all of those “honorable” Republicans you keep screaming about - you know, the ones you say you are trying to appeal to?

How come all those “honorable” Republicans you lionize are not shouting at the top of their lungs to have Trump grabbed by his fat treasonous ass and thrown out of the White House?

Yeah, I thought so.
