Un-breaking News...

On the night of Harris’ Ellipse speech, Donald Trump was on Hannity and said if he had been elected in 2020 (I am assuming he meant himself and not Hannity, although you never know these days) “we” would have control of Western Europe by now. Understandably, considering part of Hannity’s agenda is weird washing Trump, Hannity passed on the worm can opened before him and never followed up on this. Never ask a question if you don’t want to know the answer, right?

Unfortunately much of the media has followed Hannity’s suit (which is in dire need of dry cleaning btw). Instead of mentioning this during the early morning cycle, it was all about Biden’s speech gaffe.

So some simple follow up questions I’d like to see asked:

What do you mean by “control Western Europe”?

And who is “we”?

1. Pretty sure it would be Putin who would be controlling western Europe if Trump won

Trump thinks he's a partner with Putin and not just one of his useful idiots.

3. I agree he meant Putin. But Putin can't control Ukraine.

He has lost a large chunk of his fighting force. How does Putin think he would take over and control Western Europe? Does Trump think that America would be on Russia's side in a World War III?

Their delusions are quite grand.

2. you are asking the wrong question

The more frightening question isn't "what do you mean by control of western Europe?"...

It's "who is we?"

10. Who is we? That would be Putin.

It was putin's dream to control "western europe", and the west in general. The Russian Empire would rise again.

4. Did he just deny the big lie?

Someone tell Vance.

7. That was back when words had meanings...

...so sweet and quaint. Honesty was the first prerequisite to get and hold public office. Maybe, just maybe enough people still want that.

9. It's a double standard. Kamala would be pounded if she made a mistake like tRump. . . . . nt

6. K&R This is terrifying.

And a huge WTF moment.

11. Right?

And I’m not sure what is worse. Trump saying it or the many others ignoring it.

8. He gave Comrade Vlad a wink when it came to

the War, Israel too IMO.
