The hill ^ | 05/19/2022 | Monique Beals

Former Trump White House national security official Fiona Hill said Russian President Vladimir Putin had “to explain everything to all the time” to former President Trump.

“He had to keep explaining things, and Putin doesn’t like to do that,” Hill said this week, speaking at a Chicago Council on Global Affairs event in remarks reported by Insider.

Hill added that Putin intentionally chose to invade Ukraine during President Biden’s tenure in the White House.

Translation: Trump wasn’t paid off into compliance.

“Another backstabber. Trump had some bad picks.”

Unfortunately, it seems he had very few good picks.

Yes he did. I wouldn’t have picked this slut just for her name. Just for starters.

Also, asking the same question several times during a conversation helps to determine if somebody is lying. Ask the question 3 times and see if you get the same exact answer each time.

I’ve seen the LEOs on “COPS” do this many times.

Putin made no aggressive moves while big dummy Trump was in the White House. But Putin invaded Crimea while genius Obama was president, and he invaded Ukraine while genius Biden was president.

Funny how that worked out. Maybe Trump wasn’t so dumb after all.

Of course he wouldn’t have to explain anything to Brandon, the great and knowledgable statesman and pants shitter.

“show me where any previous President routinely conducted impromptu press conferences and/or took unscripted questions like President Trump”

None I can remember.....as a matter of fact he did it TO much IMO.

“Trump kept Putin real busy ,LOL”

I think Putin did a lot of mansplaining. He’d have to because he has some ideas that are whacky. Like Ukraine isn’t a nation. They’re run by “Nazis.” I listened to a Russian on YouTube explain what the Russians meant by Nazis. It’s everyone who disagrees with them. (Kind of like Twitter.)

As for Trump, if someone talks he’ll let them talk. Nothing wrong with that. It’s not that Trump doesn’t understand. My impression is Trump is smart.

“Because Trump was the only one who asked him the tough questions. “

A answer the media is too lazy to seek out.

When a street smart New Yorker says “Can you explain that?”, it means “You are full of bleep with what you just said” and they are giving the bull thrower a chance to back out of that.

Maybe but there is also nothing wrong with not knowing the answers. Too many of these politicians think they are gods. Mayne if they asked more questions the country wouldn’t be tanking.

Unfortunately, there was little good to choose from.

I have a lunatic lib neighbor that believes putin behaved himself when Trump was in office “because Trump and putin are buddies”.

How do you respond to stupidity like that?

These people truly live in an alternate reality.

Fiona the jagoff that nearly drove HP, one of America's premier companies, into bankruptcy.

It has recovered quite nicely since she left. That tells you all that you need to know.
