Hilarious!
* Trump: Woodward is lying!
* Kremlin: **Trump is lying!**
Precious.

It wasn’t just “tests” it was testing machines. The ones we couldn’t get to states under pressure like NY and California.
How many Americans died because of this? Lots!

The media still desperately trying to avoid calling trump a liar
truthishardtohear on
Who would have thought that the Kremlin would be a more credible source than someone who has a serious chance at being POTUS. Talk about the weirdest timeline ever.

That’s vladamir putin, the guy who is currently meeting with his close allies the Iranian government right now?
Great choice, MAGA, always putting our interests first. You guys really really are smarter than the rest of us.

I’m old enough to remember when ev n a hint of friendliness to Russia was treason. Why is it tolerated for Trump?!
Emceegreg on
I’ll never understand how Maga doesn’t understand that Putin truly views Trump as a dummy and someone who can be easily manipulated. Hurts my damn head how they think Trump being buddies with Putin is a “good thing”
CurrentlyLucid on
Even Russia is more honest than trump.
FitWrap1959 on
So, the tests and machines were not shipped, but they also were shipped?
Here we go again, with Schrödinger’s paradox. How about Occam’s Razor (the simplest explanation is the most likely):
Trump and his campaign spokespeople are lying.

Trump is in a tough spot because he wouldn’t want to call his bosses over at the Kremlin liars now would he?
Odd-Bee9172 on
You know it’s true because Trump didn’t threaten to sue. Woodward is a professional. He wouldn’t have put it in there if it wasn’t verified.

Not a single Trump voter will even hear this.

Murica first.

And yet those that support Trump will never learn of this/refuse to believe it.
untoldwant on
The same conservatives who swallow Putin’s Ukraine propaganda full-throated now reply to this with “oh you trust Russia now lol”.
They are not serious people.
I tried to have conversations with them, but there’s no point. The majority on r/askconservatives do not answer in good faith.
BebeTheGoddess on
This is pretty concerning; sending test kits to Russia while the pandemic was raging seems reckless. It raises serious questions about Trump’s judgment and his ties to Putin.

I bet Trump didn’t send hydroxychloroquine to Russia.

Trump “values loyalty” and he is absolutely loyal to his master.
SpontaneousQueen on
The word we are looking for is treason. Trump is a traitor.
Morepastor on
In April 2020 Trump spent FEMA money to buy Covid supplies from sanctioned Russian companies and had a Russian Military cargo plane bring them to NY. Called them much needed and thanked his Daddy Putin. The supplies were sent to a NYC warehouse and went unused.

So Trump lied. Will his supporters care?
Stuporhumanstrength on
Two critical questions any reader and reporter should be asking:
1. How many tests are alleged to have been shipped? A hundred thousand, or a sample pack of 8? The number matters.
2. Are Kremlin claims “confirmation”, or disinformation?
SoupSpelunker on
Oh boy – the sriting is on the wall and Putin has Trump losing.
Are we going to see a pee tape this October?
yosarian_reddit on
Putin loves trolling America. You can just see the smirk on his face as he says “Da, tell them we got the tests, they’ll get so mad about it”. Russias strategy is to cause increasing chaos in the US, so this is perfect for him.
Supporting Ukraine is the best way to reply. That and the FBI shutting down as many russian paid election interference schemes as possible.

Putin is testing trump the same way he tests his followers
podkayne3000 on
Voting against Trump is a sacred duty, but, in a normal situation, this is an example of a place where a president should be able to break the law.
If protecting a world leader or that leader’s buddies helps promote goodwill, why not?
One of the huge problems with Trump is that his awfulness will reduce presidents’ flexibility.
justhavingfunMT on
Hasn’t the media figured out yet that if the orange degenerate is denying it it means he absolutely did it. It’s like the media keeps waiting for him to tell the truth and never gets it but, they still haven’t figured out he’s a sociopathic grifter and a pathological liar.
