Further cementing the truth that that fucking motherfucker is a motherfucker. Poot would have laughed at his asset.

Donald Trump was recorded describing Vladimir Putin as his “friend” in a bizarre phone conversation with pro golfer John Daly.

“You know, he was a friend of mine,” the former president told the athlete on speaker phone, as recorded in a viral video. “I got along great with him.”

Mr Daly is a Republican and staunch supporter of Mr Trump. As the ex-president spoke to the golfer, Mr Trump repeated a claim that he’s made frequently in recent weeks: that if he were still president, Russia’s leader wouldn’t dare invade Ukraine.

“I’d say, ‘Vladimir, if you do it, we’re hitting Moscow,’” the one-term president bragged to Mr Daly. “I said, ‘We’re gonna hit Moscow.’ And he sort of believed me, like five per cent, 10 per cent. That’s all you need. He never did it during my time, John.”

1. Lying Republican and Russian a-holes of a feather

are flocking together

[EYESORE 9001]

2. '... we're hitting Moscow...'

In a pig’s eye.

[Irish_Dem]

3. What would Putin do to Trump if Trump said he was going to hit Moscow?

Of course Trump would never say it, in fact he helped Putin get Ukraine.

[PatSeg]

9. Yes, that was a load of crap

We're suppose to believe that Donald EVER threatened his hero Vlad?

What a pathetic, insecure little man. Did you ever notice that when referring to a foreign leader, he often adds, "He is a friend of mine"? Basically confirming that Trump never had any real friends, sycophants and parasites, but no true friends.

[Irish_Dem]

12. Yes. Trump has no friends, so he is just bragging and trying to feel special.

Narcissists like to curry favor with important people so they can feel important themselves. They also like constant attention and accolades.

You can also see how world's despots must have worked Trump by laying it on thick about being personal friends with him. An easy way to manipulate Trump. He is a buffoon and so easily bought off.

[PatSeg]

14. Yes, he is so easy and then they laugh behind his back

He is so readable, that savvy tyrants use him much like he uses others. Of course, he is too self-absorbed and dimwitted to see it. Once again his "daddy" issues come to the surface, always trying to please a powerful father.

[Irish_Dem]

21. Good point, he is trying to please a father figure.

And get the approval he never got from his father. On top of his narcissistic and sociopath personalty disorders.

I am sure the leaders had excellent psych profiles on Trump and played him like a fiddle.
Tump has some cunning, but he is really not bright at all. No insight at all about himself or others. Of course they laughed at him.

This is one of the reasons Putin got Trump elected. To make US democracy look foolish and ridiculous. To make a mockery of our leadership and people.

[PatSeg]

23. "Leaders had excellent psych profiles on Trump"

Yes, particularly Putin. That is his specialty, something he mastered in his KGB days.

I agree that in some ways Trump is cunning. He has some street-smart killer instincts, but they are very limited. They might work in the real estate business or reality television, but he was so out of his league on a world stage.

Sadly, like so many people, he sought out an approval he was never going to get and now his oldest son lives with that same dilemma.

Putin did manage to make the U.S. look foolish and insubstantial, but it was only temporary. He really did underestimate our democracy, at least so far anyway. It will be quite awhile before we can truly assess the damage he has done and whether any of it is permanent. I am not certain yet.

[Irish_Dem]

24. Good points.

I am not sure what will happen to the US. I hope you are right.

I think the damage to the US by Trump, GOP congress, and GOP officials is enormous.

[PatSeg]

26. Yeah, we're not out of the woods yet

Our majorities in congress are much too slim and republicans keep nominating more screwballs to elective office. I try to stay optimistic, but it isn't easy.

We always have such interesting discussions!

[Irish_Dem]

27. I know Pat, we do have very interesting discussions!

Good to talk with you again!

I am too much of a realist to be optimistic, sad to say.
But I like your optimism! It is important to stay positive when trying to achieve a goal.

[PatSeg]

28. Oh, I go from optimistic to pessimistic

several times a day. Sometimes I feel like we're living in 1930s Europe and other times I think maybe we are on the brink of a whole new world. It is really stressful to be so uncertain so much of the time.

[Irish_Dem]

29. It has been a huge roller coaster ride for some time now.

Yes it does feel like pre-WWII Europe.

And it has been clear for some time the Putin was heavily involved in US politics. And where it would all end is a big question mark. The GOP and US oligarchs seem hell bent on taking over our country.

Maybe we should just take up a nice soothing hobby?

[PatSeg]

36. "Where it would all end is a big question mark."

Yes, even though in some respects history is repeating itself, a lot of what we're seeing is unprecedented.

It might be better if the right-wing extremists and conspiracy theorists took up a nice soothing hobby!

[Irish_Dem]

37. Exactly, even better, why don't they do something to help the world?

Go out and do some good, instead of evil, instead of tearing down the US.

[smirkymonkey]

33. Exactly! Trump wouldn't know what a "friend" was if one bit him on his huge orange ass.

He thinks because he spoke to someone once or twice that they are "great, great friends". He doesn't have the slightest clue what a friend is. It's all about image to him.

He will claim "friendship" with someone if he thinks it makes him look more important, not having the tiniest understanding as to what a friendship really is. It's so bizarre and really kind of sad.

[Irish_Dem]

34. Yes everything is transactional, not personal. He uses people and they use him.

No bonds of love, caring, respect, support. The kinds of bonds we have with friends, colleagues, family. He doesn't have those.

[sop]

4. Trump threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea during his first UN address in 2017.

He also threatened US military invasions in Venezuela, Iran and Syria. Trump's empty threats probably emboldened Putin.

[kentuck]

5. And so it begins...

His attempt to rehabilitate the image of Vladimir Putin. He still has said nothing negative about Putin personally.

[PatSeg]

15. Remember when he used to claim

"No one has been harder on Putin than I have"? I'm sure he conferred with his buddy Vlad before he made that baseless declaration.

[Ferrets are Cool]

6. A sorry excuse for a human.(Daly)

As they say, I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

[Bristlecone]

7. One stable genius talking to another

[redstatebluegirl]

8. He is trying to get back in the news.

He cannot stand being out of yhe limelight.

[PatSeg]

10. "Bloated Tick"!

Oh, that is perfect.

[Stuart G]

16. 2nd That Motion

[PatSeg]

19. My new favorite name for him

I thought we'd run out of good monikers for the fool, but apparently there are always more.

[oasis]

11. Trump also said he would have run unarmed into Stoneman Douglas HS

to take on the shooter.

[PatSeg]

17. Yeah, he's such a Super Hero!

[BlueIdaho]

13. Propaganda Pure and Simple...

This is staged GQP “happy talk” intended to beef up TFGs tough guy bonafides. In this case the Trump campaign is using Daly and the M$M as a useful idiots.

[Stuart G]

18. Trump really doesn't know when to Shut the F**k Up..Much too stupid to know that one!

[Enoki33]

20. Interesting that he used the past tense.

[Thtwudbeme]

22. I caught that too- guess the Russian jerk

doesn't call him anymore.

[LuckyCharms]

25. And he sort of believed me, like five per cent, 10 per cent.

Whatever you say, tfg, you fucking weirdo.

[maxrandb]

30. Johnny Daly is an "athlete"?

Sorry, couldn't consider this reporter as serious after her wrote that.

[Skittles]

31. Trump is jealous of the attention Putin is getting

they're both pathetic beyond belief

[TomSlick]

32. Daly is a drunken slob.

He and TFG are made for each other.

[radius777]

35. Trump was/is a Putin asset

who worked overtime to divide and weaken the West, shit on NATO and the EU, etc.

Putin was hoping Trump would simply give him Ukraine without firing a shot.
