The Media Didn't Bother To Ask Trump Whether He Discussed Bounties With Putin

You might think at least one U.S. reporter would have asked Trump about this story yesterday, considering it first appeared June 26th and that Trump mentioned talking to Putin, but no. Via The Independent:

Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin Thursday for the first time since the publication of a New York Times story alleging that Russia paid bounties to Taliban fighters for killing US troops.

Reports of the conversation suggest Mr Trump did not bring the bounty story up to Mr Putin.

Judd Deere, a White House spokesman, issued a statement claiming the men discussed “efforts to defeat the coronavirus pandemic while continuing to reopen global economies.”

"The bounty program wasn’t just theoretical. It was FUNCTIONING. Money changed hands. Taliban forces killed US soldiers and collected their dirty rubles. Those bounties were paid by Russia. Russia, whose president owns ours."

It’s been almost 4 weeks and only silence. Trump spoke with Putin TODAY.

Reporters, ask him if he stood up to his Russian master and questioned him about the bounties on our troops’ heads.

Ask him if he even cares.

Once again, not a single question about the Russian Bounties on American troops, even after Trump threw everyone a layup by talking about his phone call with Putin. Unbelievable.

3. Ergo, our news outlets have also been taken over by PUTINVID-45

We are being informed by a biased group that does not honor the Constitution and has bastardized the First Amendment.

4. This is always just covered as a nothingburger

WHY on earth does Trump talk to Putin as much? Seriously, aren’t we into double digits now for the number of calls this year? With all that we know about Russia, the volume of conversations is disturbing.
