Trump and Putin Find Common Ground on Joe Biden

Trump and Putin Find Common Ground on Joe Biden

New York Times: “During their private meeting and their public appearance in Anchorage on Friday, both leaders blamed Mr. Biden for the war in Ukraine, never mind that Mr. Putin was the one who ordered troops to invade his neighbor and keeps authorizing strikes against civilian targets.”

“The Russian president complained that Mr. Biden did not accede to Russian demands before the full-scale invasion three and a half years ago, and he played to the current president’s ego by agreeing that the war would not have happened had Mr. Trump still been in office in 2022. By Mr. Trump’s account, Mr. Putin behind closed doors also endorsed the lie that Mr. Trump actually won the 2020 election, only to have it stolen by Democrats.”

Much as Joe Biden beat his giant ass, he has an enormous and all-consuming hate of Barack Obama.

Going way back to a roast, I gather.

I have a “roast” suggestion for Trump.
