Trump told golfer John Daly that he threatened Putin with 'hitting Moscow'

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-told-golfer-john-daly-that-he-threatened-putin-with-hitting-moscow/ar-AAUCN22

In a phone call Thursday with golfer John Daly, former President Donald Trump talked about nuclear weapons and threats he says he made to Russian President Vladimir Putin

"They're all saying, 'Oh he's a nuclear power,'" Trump said of Putin on the call, which Daly put on speaker phone at the at the Hoag Classic tournament in California. "It's like they're afraid of him."

A bystander filmed Daly, who took the call while enjoying food and drinks inside the Newport Beach Country Club.

"You know, he was a friend of mine," Trump continued. "I got along great with him. I say, 'Vladimir, if you do it, we're hitting Moscow. I said, 'We're gonna hit Moscow.'"

long enough to say that. Who does he think he’s kidding? He was always a subservient, obsequious lapdog around Putin.

Right now, TFG has as much power or influence regarding Vlad, as we do. John Daly, who is obviously a very talented Golfer, seems like a nice guy who is good at one thing, golfing. Other than that, not much here.

I remember one time when there was a school shooter.

Trump said, had he been there,
he would have gone into the school unarmed and taken down the shooter.

"I say, 'Vladimir, if you do it, we're hitting Moscow." . . .

That is present tense. He's telling a story about how he would be the big man now, at this point, when he never was the "big man" when he was around Putin. It is just another lie.

If he ever told Putin "We're gonna hit Moscow," World War III would have started right then. Do you think if he said that to Putin he should have informed his advisers? He didn't allow documentation of his conversations with Putin. He never said this. He is bragging.

To paraphrase Billy Martin: Both Daly and Drumpf are born liars. The difference is only one of them has been convicted... so far.
