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.”
