Hard to tell which happened: 1) Putin didn't say this, he wouldn't make the embarrassing error of "no country has mail-in voting" when many countries like Germany and UK allow it for all voters. 2) Putin really did tell Trump this knowing Trump would repeat it and humiliate the U.S. even more. 🤷♂️
We don’t know what happened bc he’s the only president not to take a fucking note taker or witness. Putin used him and got the fucking US President to roll out a literal red carpet for him on US soil. More embarrassing than Trump hosting the Taliban at Camp David
3) Putin knows our election results. Okay.
I thought the same thing about Trump saying Putin told him that last year the US was a "dead country." Equally plausible to me that Trump only lives in repeated soundbites from his own head, or that Putin said those specific sound bites because playing Trump is the easiest thing in the world.
#1
I lean towards #2.
1
Pee tape conscience?
He is preposterously stupid.
Or Trump said it and Putin was just nodding along.
There are several states and countries that do virtually all of their voting by mail. It is easier and it saves money. That’s why the GOP hates it so much. Not because of fraudulent votes, but because more people vote when it’s easier to do it.
It's hard to believe that an individual can be so full of shit! So Putin knows that he "won that election by so much". How exactly, does Putin know that he won by so much?? 🤷🏾♂️ He gotta keep recycling those oldies but goodies 2020 election bullshit I guess. Such a moron!
The latter gets my vote.
My personal bet is #3, Putin just sat there and yes-anded Trump for 30 minutes. The whole thing was basically a photo op and establishing that Putin is no longer persona non grata, plus whatever the cheeto wanted to throw in to seem relevant because he doesn't understand diplomacy
Well guess what, my spouse and I signed up again for mail in voting which we decided to do 8 years ago. If there’s a discrepancy they have your phone number. I remember standing for 3 hours to vote in 2008/09
My money's on B
He could be saying the other countries voting is rigged as well. Not that it's true, but it would fit.
Kompromat in action. Trump is his biatch. www.jandehn.com/post/kompromat
Comedy Gold!
Because clearly Putin is a bastion of integrity. /s
I believe Putin did say this because he’s a former KGB agent, a first class manipulator, who knows how to appease Trump. What folks need to think about is that of course two autocrats who rig the system would be against free and fair elections.
3) Stephen Miller said it and this was a convenient time to put it in the public sphere as coming from someone that Donald loves, fellates, and knows that MAGA will believe is a credible source.
trump even brought up the Russia Hoax. Why? Jeez, the Russia Hoax was standing right there next to him. 🤦
Either way, Trump is a buffoon.
Russian. Asset.
Yet Trump uses mail-in voting...
Definitely 2.
I think it refers to them discussing Russian efforts to hack election data bases in 2020 that was thwarted by increased mail-in voting due to Covid.
So embarrassing…
2
Trump mailed in his own ballot "because I'm allowed to"
He’s just a standard Republican. The only evidence of fraud necessary is a Democrat winning. Give or take JFK in 1960 they have yet to come up with a stolen election accusation that’s even possible, much less proof that it actually happened
He's Putin's operative for sowing cognitive dissonance like believing Putin would know more about the results of a US election so (2) is usually what you can count on. bsky.app/profile/maxk...
Number 2!
Taco is such a tool
My money is on #2
He’s humiliating himself, not us.
Option 3: Trump ranted on about it because he's a moronic narcissist with a bug up his arse about it and can't stop himself and Putin agreed with him because Trump's a moronic narcissist with a bug up his arse about it and Putin knows that any crumb of validation makes him easy to manipulate.
2020 had terrible optics...the massive mail ballot thing didn't help, or Democrats changing rules unlawfully on some things. Biden still barely won, and you guys needed covid and race riots to do it. meanwhile liberals say 2016, and 2024 were both stolen, invalid elections. of course! lol
You can't be that gullible to believe what Trump said is true. Vlad can't even speak English coherently, but the real give away Trump's lying is because he doesn't have the attention span to follow more than 2 sentences, much less the wherewithal to repeat exactly what anyone says verbatim.
Lol
But also, how would Putin know the results of U.S. elections unless…he…hacked…them?
Can he just STFU?
Putin knows how to suck up to Trump. And Trump fell down
Mail-in-voting is actually the most secure way to vote.
If it was rigged against him when he was in charge, then it would have been rigged when Dems were in charge and he was a convicted felon. Putin knows how to trigger this petty little egomaniac with no logic.
Oh yeah, it's 2. Because putty knows that's all he has to say to give trump a happy ending. Trump is so pathetic.
Closer to 2, and also he knew it would flatter trump by making him feel right and smart and important.
My guess is that every time P and T get together, P, like the good KGB goon he is, does some advance work, preparing some catnip for one or more of T’s many nonsense grievances, and also instructs T in being more authoritarian. And T just eats it up.
You can almost hear P going off on windmills killing birds, and saying “you know, they don’t see how powerful you are T. You have to show them how a real man like you behaves and beat up the kids in the park.”
#2…the 💩 option of course
3) Putin lectured about Rurik and about early medieval chainmail armor technology. Trump dozed off and woke up mid-sentence, trying to puzzle together the context.
"Comrade Putin has very strongly relayed to me my new instructions and has directed me to activate your truth telling people, Sean, to inform the American people of the wrong that was done to me by mail-in ballots. We must attack this scourge!"
This whole thing is a set up. It was decided long ago by the two. We will present peace talks and stall. We will meet numerous times over months. During this time you can continue to attack Ukraine and take more land. And in turn you will present me as a hero and Nobel peace prize. The deal
It’s increasingly clear that Trump is a straight-up traitor, as is Hegseth. This could actually have consequences when they call on the Army in 2026.
It’s so pathetic how much Trump believes that Putin’s endorsement of his lies means something
Either way, I am very confused that Trump is trying to persuade me of the veracity of something using the words of a war criminal and enemy of the western world.
From the guy who discussed raking forests with the President of Finland? I'm going to go with number 1.
Trump's body language is telling: this man is in no position to force anything. He's incredibly afraid of Putin.
Please. It was #2. Played him like a senile fiddle.
Did Putin say you won biggly?
I’ll take (2) for $1,000
When Trump runs aground in an interview, he goes baby to the old grievances. He's triggering his base so they look past his bad moment.
Or Trump is just a pathological liar maybe?🤥🤥👖🔥
Many Countries have mail-in voting
I vote for 2, with Trump adding the incorrect embellishment to his version of the conversation
Gonna go with 1, in that I think it’s been a very, very long time since Trump has actually heard/processed anything anyone has said. What with the tertiary syphilis and all.
I just kinda wanna know was anyone watching the wifi while the big enemy ship was parked in our lot.
trumps handing over paper copies, anyway
Any moment now Trumps going to point and say “gotcha”! I’ve been waiting for 10 years.
Or...he fell asleep during their meeting and had a dream that Putin told him that.
Fuck you man you lost cant change that. All Vlad had to say was “the 2020 election was rigged 😂 “ what a dumbass
So is Vlad saying the guy in charge of the USPS in 2020 was involved in a major conspiracy…to tank his own election? Probably 47 just opening his mouth again & listening to all the pretty words come tumbling out.
Putin *may* have said something about how 2020 was rigged against him, since that was a common line in Russian media at the time ("U.S. can't have a free & fair election haha"), and he/his people knew it was an easy way to flatter the rube. Extremely unlikely he said anything about mail-in voting.
Imbecile.
Door Number 2, please.
Add Putin to a long list of liars who think Trump won fair and square in 2016, 2020, and 2024! Russian interference and billionaires taint our elections!
3) He said it so Trumpers would level attacks on it to discredit and disable it, giving R's an advantage
Yeah, cuz when countries need advice about free and fair elections, Vladimir Putin is always their go to man.
Yes. I found that comical as well as nauseating
0% chance that outin said it.
It hardly matters which is correct, because, whether Trump laundered what he heard or invented it, the MAGAts will never hear it contradicted.
Voting in 2024 was “rigged” because of Elon ,
The fact Trump would recite this as evidence of some "win" from the summit tells you everything you need to know about Trump's motivation for agreeing to attend; it wasn't about solving global issues, it was solely about Trump's pathological need for self-validation by appearing important to cameras
what is so deeply vile about this is that hannity knows better and still does this shit. trump is just an idiot.
He's lying again
Who thinks the guy who kills his opposition and journalists cares about mail-on voting?
Putin really did say that, to placate Trump and manipulate him even more. He's a sh*t stirrer.
There's also the possibility that the "special ride" in the presidential car was for Putin to give sound advice to this moron on how best to steal the 2026 elections for Republicans.
Because if you want an expert opinion on the integrity of an election ask Putin!
plus trump was in charge of the fucking mail in 2020 so how fucking incompetent would he have had to be to lose his own rigged election
That’s exactly why they were so upset when they got obliterated. They didn’t get what they paid for. Then 4 years later… when the economy is booming, after he’s officially a convicted felon & an adjudicated rapist, somehow we’re supposed to believe 10 million democrats stayed home on Election Day?
Donald is a child rapist who has a severe mental decline and is unfit for the office of the President in everyway.
What an embarrassing debacle
1
How in the hell would putin know if tRump "won that election (2020) by so much"? 🤔
Its both. Trump is mixing up things Putin said, knowing Trump would embarrassingly repeat them, with his usual shtick about the 2020 election.
No.2 - played Trump like a fiddle!
3) Trump is lying/delusional.
Here in Australia, I voted by mail in the last three federal elections.
In May 2020, Putin signed into law a new measure that allows elections at all levels and referendums to be conducted by mail and via the Internet. Either Putin didn't say it or he was just appeasing Trump. Trump has nothing to offer except his broken record of a rigged election.
Likely Trump isn't really talking about what really happened between him and Putin and is still in the "works" behind the curtains.
there may genuinely be no connection to real events and things Trump says happened. He’s soup. He’s gone. There’s nothing upstairs except the old scripts. He’s the first chat bot president.
Australia has mail in votes too. We call them postal votes.
I go with number 2….they are all just laughing on the flight back to Moscow.
bsky.app/profile/theo...
And obv, mail-in for 2016 and 2024, obv.
3) Putin really did tell Trump this. He does not care if Trump would repeat it in public. He did it to ingratiate and influence Trump. This worked. Silly schmuck bit the bait. Just look at the pleasure on his face.
I’ll take answer #2 for a billion dollars please
Oh, it’s 2), no question or doubt about it.
I vote for Putin didn’t say it. In fact, I vote for Trump having little to no idea what Putin said during any part of the “meeting.”
"He said windmills are very dangerous. And he loves my tariffs!"
Not hard, actually. It was 2
3) Trump made it up to reinforce his anti mail in vote narrative.
That’s #1
Glad they spent their limited time talking about this (if it happened). And if so, he got played so hard.
Canada has advance mail in voting for all. trump so stupid.
put me down for #2
And Putin would know that because...he's inside the voting structure? Hmm.
Laying the ground for wanting to scrap mail-in voting before the midterms.
Liar liar pants on fire
How would Putin know this, unless he hacked our entire voting system? This is another childish fabrication by a slow 9-year-old who thinks his parents are really dumb.
Putin also said I get lost in the abyss of your eyes especially during the PISS TAPES which I just digitized and color enhanced.
The fact that Putin would have any idea about 🇺🇸 elections is very disturbing.
🤦♀️🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥‼️‼️
Definitely one of those two options
2
3. Taco Cankles just makes shit up
Trump blows so much out of his a**! He is full of 💩! Compulsive liar!
It's 3). Putin said this because he knew it would appeal to Trump's narcissistic imperative fantasy and therefore make him more susceptible to whatever Putin suggested next.
and yet Russia didn't get what it wanted. for now the left got it wanted, the war will continue, people will die needlessly. there is a process afoot...but the Democrats don't want Trump to be successful.
you think Ukraine should just surrender, we got it
not a surrender, but there has to be a settlement of some kind. they can't push Russia out. and i seen no strategy no nothing from the liberals so keen to keep war going. and the Euros, they spend more money buying energy from Russia than anything they do with Ukraine.
The military objective is to keep Russia out of Europe. Which once extended to Germany. “Vladimir” gave a whole history lesson on it.
he's no in position to move on Europe and there's no way he'd move on a NATO country. invading Poland started a world war before, it ain't happening again. Ukrainian draftees don't need to be kept being fed to a meat grinder while other people make money off the war.
Zelensky and the Ukrainians don’t want to surrender their country just like Canada doesn’t want to become the 51st state of America. Who exactly is forcing this war on the Ukrainian people other than the alien 👽 head looking douche bag that invaded it?
for peace they likely will have to lose what it's been taken. they can't win the thing. but ok, what's the Democrat strategy for pushing Russia out?
see? It's very simple: 1. The Democrats have to come up with a strategy for Ukraine to follow (the Ukies are too dumb to have their own strategy) 2. Putin will agree to something, I very smartly am sure that this is true.
well...Dems have had 3 years. i ain't seen nothing right now. i see politicians and rich media people talking big and not wanting a peace deal. they don't even want a ceasefire. Putin is trying to squeeze gains what he can right now, but different factors can get him to make a deal i think.
Your daddy likes losers. We get it.
The Ukrainians have held off a major army that vastly out numbers them and out classes them technologically and equipment wise for 3 years. Since 2014 if you consider the cold part of the conflict. With minimal support from the west because of MAGA. I’d take the Ukrainians over Putin any day.
He sure will be able to with an ally in the white house, and his puppets making gains in France, the UK, Germany, as well as already controlling Hungary and Slovakia. There's no issue invading NATO if there is no more NATO
c'mon, he didn't invade during Trump 1st term, but 1 year into Biden's. militarily Russia can't even take Ukraine....they cannot do anything else.
You'd have asked the soviets and british to surrender to the Nazis wouldn't you
Oh, come on. What I want is for Ukraine to be successful. I think Russia got exactly what it wanted. No ceasefire, no sanctions, free to do whatever it pleases.
it sounds like there is a framework of a peace plan they are looking for. there are things in the background. the truth is Russia can't make much success in their war effort. and eventually Trump may go beyond pressuring India over Russian energy.
🥱🥱🥱
I would go with option 3) It's just another installment of "My uncle from MIT said" confabulations, that Trump tells at bedtime by the candlelight
What a little bitch we have for President
What he meant to say we couldn’t rig it because of mail in voting!
Well Vlad certainly knows a thing or two about rigging elections
Typical Trump confabulation. No way Putin would have talked about any of that (where’s the transcript?). Funny Trump didn’t have Putin calling him “sir,” or starting out by having Putin say, “A lot of people are saying…” I wonder if this bullshit is still convincing to the rubes? Probably,
Putin telling Trump how to have fair elections like they do in Russia.
It does sound like a Trump "Sir" story ["Vladimir had tears in his eyes..."]
Oh 2, absolutely
I'd say 80% chance of #1, 20% chance of #2.
If you think it's hard to tell... It's on you. Trump made this shit up a week ago. The script for this interview was written a week ago. It could've been Putin's dog in that meeting.. And Trump would've said the same shit. This is a propaganda of an authoritarian.
Putin never said it. www.rferl.org/a/putin-sign...
LOL 🤣
