A question: Did Trump call Putin or did Putin call Trump?

I was under the assumption that Trump called Putin? Is that true?

For what reason would he be calling Putin at this time? No doubt, he wants to believe the Russia investigation and other charges are over. He has stated that "it's over".

It is rather strange that his orbit and that of Vladimir Putin are so close. His interest is in international business and making money, maybe not always on the up and front. After all, he liked doing business with Russia and dealing with the oligarchs.

It has become painfully obvious that Donald Trump is working for Donald Trump, not the United States of America. He doesn't care too much for our traditional allies, he likes his new friends, like North Korea, Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and China. He prefers the strong dictators over the democratically elected leaders that have been our allies. Someday we may need them again?

It looks like Donald could not wait to tell Vlad the good news? The Russian "hoax" is over, he said. Putin said it started as big as a mountain and ended up giving birth to a mouse. Both agreed there was no collusion.

However, the Mueller Report said something entirely different.

...the unredacted Mueller report.

That's only fair, right?

I listened to the fucking moron harass that CNN reporter and he SAID that he "SAW Putin smile" and as an average person that meant would mean that he SAW him with his EYES. Now it turns out it was a phone call so he lied (oh my, what a surprise). Either that or he can be in two places at once.

*Joy Reed on Lawrence O'Donnell just brought this up on MSNBC.
