Trump & Putin on voting: Irony is dead

Trump says Putin agrees with him US should not have mail-in voting

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-says-putin-agrees-with-him-us-should-not-have-mail-in-voting/ar-AA1KCDvm

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agrees with him that letting voters send in ballots by mail puts honest elections at risk.

"Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can't have an honest election with mail-in voting," Trump told Fox News Channel's "Hannity" after a nearly three-hour meeting between the leaders in Alaska. "He said there's not a country in the world that uses it now."

he actually believes with no hint of irony that any statement Putin might make on our elections vindicates him some how? How desperate he seems.
