Trump ‘asked Putin for advice’ about whether the US should help arm Ukraine
Trump ‘asked Putin for advice’ about whether the US should help arm Ukraine
Trump had only been in office for seven months when he met with Putin in Hamburg
T: "Hello my friend, I need your advice."
P: "For you my dear friend, I will give it gladly!"
T: "Should I sell weapons to your enemies?"
P: "No, it is not a good idea, I strongly advice against that."
T: "Thank you for your clear and unbiased answer, that is all I needed to hear"
117I wonder if that was before or after this supposed interaction:
T: I said to Putin, ‘Don’t do it, Vladimir.’ And I told him things that what I would do. And he said, ‘No way.’ And I said, ‘Way.’ It’s the last time we had the conversation.
Yes that's an actual quote from his Musk interview.
8T: "Thank you for your clear and unbiased answer, that is all I needed to hear"
More like:
T: how much is that worth to you?

That was not "asking for advice", that was "receiving orders from the handler".
78Don Jr. boasted of using Russian money long before the election. Trump has been a useful idiot for them since the 1980s.
51He asked Putin for help while campaigning, so zero surprise here
51First read this as camping, and pictured him in shorts and a tshirt with a Maga hat drinking a Schlitz in a folding chair by a camp fire, asking Putin on the phone how to make a smore.
10I want that AI art done in the style of Mad Magazine covers like this.

Yeah it's the "help me I'll help you" scenario, again.
How is this legal in the US?
9i think it's about time americans learned some anarchist theory
2It's not, but it's not enforced.

Gotta please the boss.
21Putin is the worst person you could ask.
15Cops ask robbers if they should protect banks.
13Cops aren't a good allegory for Turnip

Not if you are a grifter and have leverage on the other person.

Of course he did.
