Trump Secretly Sent Putin Covid Tests in 2020.

[Mac1958]

It just amazes me the behavior Trump's cult is willing to ignore, well, here is another one for you dismiss. T

Well, it's not exactly a surprise. It turns out that, all along, they've wanted an authoritarian strongman and not a President.

He and they adore Putin.

He said slow it down, not stop it, like the Obama/Xiden team did when dealing with H1N1 pandemic.

Why? Because it is important. Hence why he lead the world in testing protcals. He was a little to agreessive maybe at first.

Why would I care what a headline says? Obviously the headline and facts contract the first part...he literally required testing at the white house

It just amazes me the behavior Trump's cult is willing to ignore, well, here is another one for you dismiss. Trump made sure his murderous dictator buddy was going to be able to detect the virus early enough to start treatment.

We know Trump idolizes murderous dictators, but the former KGB agent definitely has something incriminating on Trump in his file. Trump is making sure it never sees the light of day.





As the coronavirus tore through the world in 2020, and the United States and other countries confronted a shortage of tests designed to detect the illness, then-President Donald Trump secretly sent coveted tests to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his personal use.

Putin, petrified of the virus, accepted the supplies but took pains to prevent political fallout — not for him, but for his American counterpart. He cautioned Trump not to reveal that he had dispatched the scarce medical equipment to Moscow, according to a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward.

Putin, according to the book, told Trump, “I don’t want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me.”

Four years later, the personal relationship between the two men appears to have persisted, Woodward reports, as Trump campaigns to return to the White House and Putin orchestrates his bloody assault on Ukraine. In early 2024, the former president ordered an aide away from his office at Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Florida, so he could conduct a private phone call with the Russian leader, according to Woodward’s account.

The book does not describe what the two men purportedly discussed, and it quotes a Trump campaign official casting doubt on the supposed contact. But the unnamed Trump aide cited in the book indicated that the GOP standard-bearer may have spoken to Putin as many as seven times since Trump left the White House in 2021.

These interactions between Trump and the authoritarian leader of a country at war with an American ally form the basis of Woodward’s conclusion that Trump is worse than Richard M. Nixon, whose presidency was undone by the Watergate scandal exposed a half-century ago by Woodward and his Washington Post colleague Carl Bernstein.

“Trump was the most reckless and impulsive president in American history and is demonstrating the very same character as a presidential candidate in 2024,” Woodward writes in the book, “War,” which is set to be released Oct. 15.

trump and Putin bonded during their meeting in Hamburg, Germany in 2017.

Behind Trump’s Views on Ukraine: Putin’s Gambit and a Political Grudge​

On July 7, 2017, after President Donald J. Trump and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia shook hands in Hamburg, Germany, to conclude their first face-to-face meeting, Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson walked out of the sterile conference room, removed notes from his pocket and gave anxious White House aides a summary.

“We’ve got work to do to change the president’s mind on Ukraine,” Mr. Tillerson said.

The secretary of state had just watched Mr. Putin, the former K.G.B. spymaster, put on a master class in seeking to shape the thinking of the new American president.

The Russian leader disparaged Ukraine, a former Soviet republic with aspirations of joining the European Union and NATO. Ukraine, he told Mr. Trump, was a corrupt, fabricated country. Russia, which had seized the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine three years earlier and backed pro-Russia separatists in a border region, had every right to exert its influence over the country, he insisted.

Mr. Trump told Mr. Putin that his administration was considering giving weapons to Ukraine. “What do you think?” Mr. Trump asked, to which Mr. Putin said it would be “a mistake.” Whatever America gave the Ukrainians, he said, they would ask for more.

Behind Trump’s Views on Ukraine: Putin’s Gambit and a Political Grudge

The roots of Donald Trump’s animus toward Ukraine — an issue with profound consequences should he be elected again — can be found in a yearlong series of events spanning 2016 and 2017.

By virtue of Putin's influence and the lies trump was told about Ukraine helping Hillary in 2016 Don continues to carry a grudge towards Ukraine. And Putin smiles.

No wonder he gave his BFF COVID tests.

Slow down testing… you don’t see a problem with that when he’s sending tests to Putin?

So you admit that he downplayed it. Thanks.

Not when we the lead world producer and administrator

The real problem I had is when Obama and Xiden simply STOPPED testiing when H1N1 was an epidemic.

 

[struth]

So you admit that he downplayed it. Thanks.

hahah your link states just the opposite, he was the leading producer of test, and even required it at the White House.

He didn't stop testing like Xiden adn Obama for H1N1 or how Harris and Xiden didn't test migrants that told to surge the border

 

[carloz]

Ya, I am sure this is true. How ironic all the conspiracy nonsense comes from people allegedly concerned about facts.

That is right up there with supporting terrorists like Biden and Harris do. Correct?

 

[berg80]

It is amazing how the left are still obsessed with WuFlu. We all know these tests were worthless.

Not only did they give false positives all the time, but it didn’t make a difference if you tested positive or negative. It still didn’t change the social distancing rules or masking. The terrified ones stayed locked up in their basements either way.

Your ability to spin these stories about trump (especially given trump and Putin's history) that you'd be apoplectic about, consider if Biden had secretly sent tests to Putin while they were in short supply, simply astounds me.

Deflection noted… and discarded

 

[luiza]

Personal use? So tens of tests? Maybe hundreds?

You realize that this would actually have been a prudent thing to do then, right????

Of course not, you are to busy salivating at the mouth.

There never were or are tests that show anything relevant .
The lateral flow tests simply show you are harbouring a virus .

What virus ?
Who knows .
What strength ?
Who knows
How long has it been present ?
Who knows

One of the greatest ever hoaxes and the Sheeple just lapped it up .
Deliberate and Evil scamming .

Don't forget that every Killer Jab producer has its HQ registered in Kyiv .
Astonishing .
So quite near to the 36 US funded and built bio Labs in Ukraine?
before Feb 24 , 2022.
Well , well . Must be another of those Covid coincidences .

Spin the story?

What story? That President Trump sent a few COVID tests to Putin? How fucking delusional can you be? Even if he did send him some, how is that some kind of crime? Why would anyone care? You people are totally deranged.

 

[struth]

oh so you’re delusional.

"Testing is a double-edged sword. … So I said to my people, slow the testing down please."

It is, that's why the Xiden/Harris team simply didn't test the surge migrants

 

[Marener]

It is

Nope.

But it proves Trump downplayed testing, and you are too delusional to admit it.

 

[struth]

Deflection noted… and discarded

I am not deflecting at all.....you seem to have two very different, and weird standards though.

We never had an issue with producing enough test, ever. Sending them to foreign countries to help fight the pandemic was the right thing to do.....STOPPING testing, was irresponsible and lead to record covid deaths

 

[struth]

Nope.

But it proves Trump downplayed testing, and you are too delusional to admit it.

how did he downplay it when he produced the most test and sent them to foreign countries to help them?

Downplaying it, would be STOPPING testing
