Rudy Giuliani Says 'Genius' Trump Threatened To Blow Up Putin's 'Gold Bubbles'

Rudy Giuliani said former President Donald Trump made an unusual threat to Russian President Vladimir Putin while he was in office.

Giuliani told Newsmax over the weekend that Trump had authorized him to share the details of a meeting with Putin where Ukraine came up in the conversation.

Trump “says, ‘Vladimir, you shouldn’t, like, attack Ukraine. I never liked those big, what are those things you got in Moscow, those big bubbles? Those big gold bubbles, I never liked those things, so I’m gonna have to blow them up,’” Giuliani said.

He was presumably referring to the Cathedral of the Annunciation, which is in the Kremlin and has gold onion domes.

There was not a moment of that presidency where Trump's lips were not in contact with one or another part of Vlad's usually-covered-up anatomy.

That calling them "big gold bubbles" because he's too ignorant to give them a proper name doesn't make Trump look stupid or senile; that Trump allegedly saying to Putin he "never liked those things" as a reason to make them a target doesn't make him look like a narcissist; that his alleged level of international diplomacy was "I'll destroy something nice in your country"; that Giuliani thinks that Republican voters will believe that Putin threatened to invade Ukraine during Trump's presidency, but was deterred by Trump's mention of a Moscow landmark.

Which means Needy Amin will have to have a good talking to with Rudy about repeating stories that make him look like an imbecile, even when the imbecile grants him express consent to do so.

… about Gulie’s opinion of Тяцмp supporters that he believes this made up story would make the idiot look strong and tough, doling out foreign policy threats like a street gangster? “Nice golden bubbles you got there, Vlad. It’s be a shame if something were to happen to them”.

It’s almost sad how clichéd they’ve become.

I mean, I'd call it a "self-own" except that the story was told by Giuliani.

Trump and Putin had a dominant/submissive "relationship"...Putin in a wetsuit, chains and whips in hand, and a diapered Trump on all fours sporting a bejeweled dog collar..

I would love to be the fly on a wall in Mar-a-lardo and see Waddle working these fools, htf did he talk them into letting him still stay there even though he was breaking a rule?

He's crying his eyes out, and he looks up at me with these watery eyed and says; "sir...."

My God, this sounds like it's from Penthouse Forum

Moscow has some very ornate and gaudy domes in it. Sure would hate/love to see them blown up.
