against himFormer White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said on Tuesday that former President Donald Trump both feared and admired Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Honestly, I think he feared him. I think he was afraid of him. I think the man intimidated him," Grisham said during an appearance on "The View," when asked about Trump's impression of Putin.
"I also think he admired him greatly," Grisham said. "I think he wanted to be able to kill whoever spoke out against him."
"In my experience with him, again, I'll just say he loved the dictators. He loved the people who could kill anyone, including the press," she added. In 2017, The Washington Post reported on 10 vocal critics of Putin who had died violently or under suspicious circumstances.

Family really knows how to avoid work.

(9,151 posts)I think I first read that in Mary Trump's book.
One can only imagine the "family values" that were incubated in the brothel.

(8,818 posts)The only reasons for his existence was the Republican Party, and more specifically the Republican Senate, his administration and almost as big a major factor: FOX NEWS AND RIGHT WING RADIO.
Not allowing Trump in power again is important, but him being banished is a very small thing compared to the rest who put him in office, and kept him in office no matter how bad he acted......
My fear is that the Republicans will find a softer, gentler candidate, but one who will QUITELY execute their master plan........
HILLARY SUMMED IT UP BEST WHEN SHE SAID: THERE IS A VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY......

I don't personally think Mars is a good option at 39% of our gravity so we should do like the UK did with Australia with it.

(1,686 posts)It looks like Vlad is in the process of killing whoever he wants with the invasion of Ukraine. Our favorite con man, liar and a cheat is chomping at the bit to get back in power to attempt to follow in his BFFs footsteps. Of course hell have the republicans support to do anything he wants.
