White House Fires Off Childish Insults Over Trump's Putin Summit

The administration responds to legitimate requests for information with crass, playground-level retorts.

The White House responded to requests for information about Trump’s upcoming summit with Putin in Budapest in a typical fashion—a string of childish insults.

Trump announced plans to meet with Putin over the next few weeks, with talks set to be held in the same city where Russia once signed an agreement promising it would never invade Ukraine.

One expert from the Washington, D.C.-based Center for a New American Security said few people would consider Budpast neutral.

But when asked who chose to hold the meeting in Budapest, a location with great historical significance to both Russia and Ukraine, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt simply told the HuffPost, “Your mom did.”

Her playground-level response was also echoed by White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, who also responded to their query with a curt “Your mom.”

him in some other country.........Last I knew, most other countries have openly stated that if Putin ever comes to their country,
he will be arrested and taken directly to the Hague for International War Crimes, and Crimes Against Humanity.
Stemming from when Putin, among other atrocities, gave Assad, his bestest Buddy leader in Syria, CHEMICAL AGENT bombs to drop on his own people who were anti Assad.
The UN sent investigators to Syria, and they confirmed, beyond any doubt, the bombs were Russian, and Assad's military dropped them on towns that held strongholds of the resistance to his rule..........The investigators collected evidence for over a year. U.S. Military had a base there to protect the UN investigators, and the Assad resistors. Trump, also a friend of Assad, commanded everyone at that base, to leave everything, including all weapons, and "bug" out overnight.........Not only pulling protection for the resistors, but also protection for the UN investigators that were already leaving to go to the UN and Hague to turn everything over to them to begin the prosecution of Putin and Assad....

The UN investigators also documented a stock pile of even more of the bombs, still in Assad's possession, that Assad assumed he had hidden from the UN people and that they hadn't detected......
