Donald Trump has had as many as seven private phone calls with Vladimir Putin since leaving office and secretly sent the Russian president COVID-19 test machines during the height of the pandemic, Bob Woodward reported in his new book “War.”
In the famed Watergate reporter’s latest book, Woodward reports that Trump asked an aide to leave his office at his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, so that the former president could have a private call with Putin in early 2024. The aide, whom Woodward doesn’t name, said there have been multiple calls between Trump and Putin since Trump left office, perhaps as many as seven in that period, according to the book.
Woodward also reports that Trump sent Putin COVID-19 test machines for his personal use as the virus began spreading in 2020. Putin told Trump not to tell anyone because people would be mad at Trump over it, but Trump said he didn’t care if anyone knew, according to the book. Trump ended up agreeing not to tell anyone.
Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, derided the reporting as “made up stories” and said the book is a work of fiction that could double as toilet paper.
“None of these made up stories by Bob Woodward are true and are the work of a truly demented and deranged man who suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” Cheung said in a statement.
He added: “President Trump gave him absolutely no access for this trash book that either belongs in the bargain bin of the fiction section of a discount bookstore or used as toilet tissue. Woodward is a total sleazebag who has lost it mentally, and he’s slow, lethargic, incompetent and overall a boring person with no personality.”

Perfect book review for a perfect scumbag.
Did he say Trump wanted to bring Ukraine into nato?
And why shouldn’t he? Most Presidents talk to foreign leaders after leaving office, even if they are removed by treasonous stolen elections.
You know they’re getting desperate when they’re bringing up abortion and Russia.
Good! Trump is a decent man.
Agreed.
No. That’s not in his plan.
I have no doubt Trump has talked to everybody multiple times. 😏

Even if that were true, why would that be a bad thing?
Woodward is getting senile
Sending the covid test machines is exactly the sort of behavior that makes me adore Trump. Decent, kind and charitable to all. That’s what makes it so tough to read what they do to a man of such heart and character.
Does being a lying POS give you longevity?
Seems too. Asking for a friend.
Stephen Cheung has a way with words. He might be a fun White House Presss Secretary for Trump
Woodward and Bernstein were former military intelligence, not journalists.
And on many occasions Obama spoke to foreign leaders after he was out of office. For example, as a private citizen, Obama had a private meeting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. So what’s your point? Or are you simply trying to slime Trump through yellow journalism?
By the way, Putin endorsed Kamala anyway.
Sounds like a script written by Hillary Clinton and John Brennan
Just another attempt by the communists to revive the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. Probably nearly half the country still believes it’s true.
