He called Putin. And again no bounty question from press.

Trump said during his rambling monologue today that he had called Putin to see how Russia is doing with virus.
You’d think that would prod at least one reporter to ask him during the Q&A if he talked to Putin about the bounty program.
But, once again, our White House press Corp let us down by not bringing it up. Sigh.

they've been told they can't ask about bounties.

If so, they should disclose it to the public.

Anti Trump groups won’t miss that he called Putin and didn’t ask about bounties on our troops, and they are going to team his ass like the Press never would. Leaks about the call will make their way out of the White House, they always seem to do so.

They let it sink like all the others.

This is also what trump is good at, he throws so much shit that after a certain amount of time you get used to wearing clothes stained with shit.

The idea to Putin, that he will give Putin Alaska back if Putin wins the election for him again.

Does anyone here believe Donald Dumbass wouldn't do that?
