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.

That, plus listening for “You can trust me” <~~ makes me immediately think they can’t be trusted.
A question is an excellent idea if you don’t know something.
Roger Stone sounded the alarm about this woman early in the Trump admin: unfortunately Trump didn’t follow the warning.
Fiona’s dinner party invitations must have dried up since working for the Trump admin.
Isn’t it possible that Trump was trying to get Putin to repeat his lies and drilled down on the lies by making him repeat and repeat them? It is certainly a known negotiation tactic, as well as a tactic used in courtrooms.
But leftists, of course, always think they are always the smartest gals in the room.
” I’m talking about all the other reasons for asking questions.”
I thought maybe Fiona was suggesting that Trump was asking stupid quesstions.
Trump certainly doesn’t have biden’s level of comprehension.
Probably he just couldn't get a straight answer from Putin. Some people like to talk in riddles rather than give a straight answer or straight explanation. I see it here on Free Republic too.
I don’t believe her for a minute! My take is that Putin holds great respect for Trump. Trump is probably the toughest and fairest adversary he ever met.
All kinds of successful people do this. It may have been in Stephen Ambrose's biography of Eisenhower where I read that Ike knowingly employed his big smile and a blank look before a hostile press who already thought he was dumb, to avoid revealing sensitive information.
He was already a great general and strategist, and then the President of Columbia University, who got things done without fanfare because that's just what you do—and whom the Democrats insisted was dumb and "do-nothing." Because that's what most Democrats are.
President Trump is a businessman - a first-rate problem-solver.
Problem solvers start by asking a lot of questions and listening carefully to the answers.
Fiona Hill saw this as Putin having to explain everything to Trump.
She’s an idiot.
It sounds like Fiona is ready to start cashing in with a fake ass, ‘tell all book’ about President Trump. Sh*theads with no loyalty and lots of creed.
Just like Oz!
Trump asked him questions…. Putin explained? Makes sense
Has Putin explained anything to sleepy Joe yet?
Gosh another hit piece on Trump. What’s the count on FR up to now? He has them scared shi%$ess.
She's saying this like it's a bad thing, but accidentally reveals that Trump was better at this than all of the so-called experts.
Pooty was getting frustrating that Trump was not just accepting the bull being thrown out.
As Trump came from the business world, he assumed that people that were of long standing in a job could perform as professionals. Again and again he failed to see that the political, and therefore, the governmental world were full of people with no character or ability.
Fiona Hill
Who can blame him? Losing at a game you’ve been playing your whole life to a guy from reality TV and real estate has got to chafe.
But that was Trump’s job, and he did it well. Four years without a war or “police action” of choice was pretty cool. But doesn’t serve the interest of our political elite.
You’ve got to admit, the pool to choose from is practically empty.
