Especially read the final, 2-line, paragraph. It's disgusting, infuriating!

In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”

“I’m sure Trump doesn’t know and doesn’t care,” said Jim Townsend, who has worked at both the Pentagon and NATO and is now an analyst with the Center for a New American Security. “Trump likes Orban and probably thinks he’s doing him a solid. Also, Putin is an Orban friend. Most of the world would not consider Budapest neutral ground for such a meeting but I guess Trump and Putin do.”

Snip

to hone in on Kkkaroline and make her have a nuclear meltdown. She is pretending to be a tough person but I think it’s a facade.

The lips Pedo Trump likes to talk about have been plumped and shaped by a half decent facial surgeon.

The entire planet sees that pro white supremacy, pro oligarchs, pro impunity for rapists, other criminals and pro authoritarian governments are his chosen friends.

That he is allowed to violate international law in Venezuela and elsewhere in the name of democracy is hysterically funny.

I don't see how this is a good thing for Putin.

Sure it may feel like a home field advantage.

But surely it does not help him when every single bit of news coverage will use the connection to remind people that he had agreed never to invade Ukraine. And it just makes it harder for Trump to gaslight people about who's fault this is.

Seems like a tactical blunder to me even if you overlook the childish playground taunts.

think most of them will mention the Budapest Memorandum. A few, perhaps, like the Guardian. I doubt a good many so-called journalists have ever even heard of it.

…who opposed Trump when he wanted a photo op among the Fallen.

Cheung lied to the press, stating she had “mental problems.”
