    America first, right? New Woodward book says Trump sent Putin a secret shipment of Covid testing equipment for his own personal use. I’m assuming this is US tax money supplied, because Trump doesn’t gift or donate with his own money. Then the two conspired to keep it secret. Also says that Trump had numerous secret phone calls with Putin, off the record, made from Mar A Lago, where he asked his advisor to leave the room. Sounds familiar. Remember when they met in person and Trump would not allow anyone else in the room, even translators. Traitorous bastard…

    “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.”

    “The book, “War,” also reveals new details about Donald Trump’s private conversations with Putin – and a secret shipment of Covid-19 testing equipment Trump sent to the Russian president for his personal use during the height of the pandemic”

    The U.S. Has Thrown Out Faulty Ventilators Russia Sent As Pandemic Aid

    Apparently this may have been hidden as part of a lop sided equipment exchange where Russia sent us unusable ventilators that we had to throw away in exchange for top of the line US equipment … they were incompatible with or electric grid and were known to burst into flames in Russia. Good job, Trump… another reason for Putin to laugh at us. The ratio of Covid medical equipment we sent to Russia, including 200 of our own ventilators, was nearly 6 to 1 in their favor.

    MAGA now worships Putin as they do Trump. And they think the Nazis were the good guys in WW2.

    MAGA is not about patriotism to America, it's about fealty to Trump and whatever he likes.

    Did Trump live feed this "private" phone call on his Instagram like Shannon Sharpe?

    A for profit book released right before an election is taken as factual. I love how the Dems cry fowl on disinformation yet fall victim to it.

    Guess I need to start writing some books too, just write shit about a pub and make millions.

    Got any proof it's disinformation? The "FEMA isn't helping anyone in red states" Trump lie was easily debunked.

    Meanwhile, what this book is sayin here totally tracks.

    It’s Woodward. Guy probably has tapes. Hell with COVID response in general Woodward has Trump admitting a bunch of stuff, and when Trump tried to play the “fake newz” card Woodward released the clips of Trump himself saying all those things (that he downplayed COVID).

    Maybe this isn’t from his firsthand “Trump tapes”, but to try to say this guy is peddling disinfo seems more like wishful thinking.

    If Trump had everyone leave the room, how does anyone know what was said?

    It’s cute how the Right pretends there’s nothing odd about Trump’s relationship with Putin, and it’s all a hoax..

    If he had this info in book form, why wasn't the tapes released years ago?

    Only motive I see here is profit, release near an election to get more copies sold, with the main customer Dems that dislike Trump. Brilliant...

    If it were factual, holy shit is this dude garbage for not providing that earlier. Logic says this is likely not true, just like a stranger saying they found a winning lottery ticket, if you just click this link... Yeah, ok...

    Yes, he has a profit motive. He released a book about Bush bungling Iraq right before the 2004 election. And so what?

    Everything Trump does is geared to put money his pocket and you don't care about that.

    Woodward has interviewed Trump several times, Trump probably bragged about it to him.

    Who said I dont care about profit? Making assumptions you cant cash, just like assuming someone that has a profit motive has your best interests at heart.

    I can't tell if this is a serious post or a parody post. Is this a real MAGAt or a person making fun of MAGAts? It honestly strikes me as the latter.
