Kamala Harris sought to capitalize on reporting from a new book by journalist Bob Woodward that alleges former President Donald Trump while in office sent Russian President Vladimir Putin Covid-19 testing devices during the height of the pandemic.
“That is just the most recent, stark example of who Donald Trump is,” Harris said Tuesday in an interview on The Howard Stern Show.
The vice president said people were “scrambling to get these kits” during the pandemic, adding, “And this guy who is president of the United States is sending them to Russia, to a murderous dictator, for his personal use?”

Good! She needs to be on top of the headlines. This stuff gets too easily swept under the rug, and she has to be out there pushing it.

Too bad he didn’t send putin bleach instead.

This would be an October Surprise if it was anyone else running but Trump.

There is little less American than supporting Russian socialists. The cold war never really ends.

And Putin sent Trump ventilators that were a fire hazard.

While Americans are dying, he’s helping out his pal Putin. True traitor disgrace

Trump convinces his MAGA minions that Covid is a hoax. They die by the thousands Trump gets Covid and receives the best treatment that modern medicine has to offer. Sends Putin Covid test kits.
MAGA’s are idiots.

This has been something Democrats have been way too slow at, capitalizing on stories coming out.
Very refreshing to see the speed her and her team jumped on this story.

Wait, is this where the hijacked respiratory devices and PPE went too? When armed gmen were raiding transports of this shit!?

As an American, what’s most embarrassing to me is what a suck-up, ass-kisser Trump is to Putin. No other US President has been so obsequious to anyone, much less someone who has been an adversary to our country.
Remember, Putin views Trump as a clown. Several months ago, Trump was telling everyone in the press that reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was imprisoned in Russia, would only be released if Trump won the 2024 election. Trump promised that once he won the election, Gershkovich would be released within HOURS of the victory.
Putin released Gershkovich in a prisoner swap just days after Trump made his announcements to the press. If Putin had any respect for Trump, he would have continued to hold the reporter, but he released him because he enjoys showing the world what a buffoon Trump is.

Bloomberg sucks. So the story to them is Harris seizing on claims. Not the idea that trump sold out Americans for his boyfriend Pooty.

Sadly it won’t matter. He claimed Covid was a hoax and fired the pandemic response team. Trump’s political play led to the deaths of over 1 million Americans; a good chunk of which were his own supporters. Yet, they still line up to suck his small dick.
PlasticPomPoms on
His supporters are just going to say he was being diplomatic or “good, we didn’t need no stinking tests”.

In his defense, he didn’t think Covid was real. /s (sort of)

Remember when the trump admin wad seizing ppe from hospitals?

The only thing that is controversial about this, is Trump and his administration kept it a secret. It is in the USA’s national best interest that in a time of international emergency, government stability both friend and foe is maintained.
The gesture of sending COVID test devices to strategic leaders around the world is just fine. However, if he sent the devices out of country before sending to State officials (blue state governors for example) that that is just another deplorable piece of shit thing Trump did that not a single MAGA supporter care about.. and probably smiling about

I think US gov supplying COVID tests is great. Probably should focus on US distribution tho.

MAGA: Covid is a Hoax, This just proves that Trump hates Putin since he knew the Tests were Useless.

It makes sense cause he wanted less testing over here.
