Former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have apparently communicated several times since Trump left office in 2021, according to Bob Woodward. CNN obtained an advance copy of Woodward's revealing new book War, which went behind the scenes of President Joe Biden's administration and touched on Trump's time in office as both navigated

    “Please don’t tell anybody you sent these to me,” Putin said to Trump, according to Woodward.

    “I don’t care,” Trump replied. “Fine.”

    “No, no,” Putin said. “I don’t want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me. They don’t care about me.”

    That was about some COVID Test Kits Trump sent to his friend, during the pandemic.

    They are so considerate one of another. What a wholesome friendship.

    This is fucking nuts.

      Why didn’t he tell him to stop testing, and give him a lighted dildo and some lysol?

      Putin knows the only way to get Trump to keep his mouth shut is to convince him it will personally affect him.

    They had multiple meetings when he was in office, some with only the Russian translator present (highly unorthodox to deprive the US state of their translator).

    In one meeting outside of those, a US translator was present and took notes as is custom. President Trump ordered the US translator to destroy their notes.

    During Trump’s time in office it is believed Putin acquired a list of the identities and positions of multiple undercover agents, resulting in some of them being killed, and many having to be recalled.

    Get fucked Woodward, you’re only in this to sell books. If you had a modicum of integrity you would have been reporting this shit instead of saving it for your book to generate sales.

      Scandal fatigue is real. I don’t imagine this new revelation will tip the scales much in either direction. This isn’t the times of Watergate. Trump and his supporters have neither the shame nor the intelligence to make good use of this info. If Woodward could squeeze a couple more bucks out of his book by timing a release, I’m not going to judge him.

      Surely this would have been the line in the sand that would have tipped the scales of public favor. Surely the felonies weren’t enough.
