In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump implies Vladimir Putin uses 'the N-word' to describe Barack Obama [View all]Igel
(37,516 posts)45. Perhaps nothing.
Assuming the Trump did actually have a tete-a-tete with the Great Putain, it might be the case it was inappropriate. You want to make a deal, insulting the other side is a piss-poor way of doing it.
Rather like trying to get a budget deal with Congress and telling them they're children and need to eat their peas. It's a foolish thing to do.
Then again, perhaps he heard this on youtube, on tv, on video. I've heard Obama say many things I disagreed with, but to date have yet to reproach him or correct him. Simply put, I haven't ever met the man and figure that a strongly worded letter over such things is pointless. Moreover, were I to be insulting about it as many would have wanted Trump to be, well, see my first paragraph.

Don't flatter yourself. You're focused on your Cold War porn "Russia" as always.

I imagine it feels both clever and trendy to pretend criticism of Moscow is "cold war porn."
