Yea….
They got over….
President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin joked about election meddling on Friday at the G-20 summit in Japan.
As the two sat next to each for a meeting and media opportunity, a reporter asked Trump if he would tell Putin not to meddle in the upcoming U.S. election as Russia had done in 2016.
“Don’t meddle in the election,” Trump, smiling, said to Putin, then wagged a finger and repeated it. “Don’t meddle in the election.”
Putin laughed, as did Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who was seated near Trump.
Trump infamously defended Russia and Putin from allegations of meddling in the 2016 election during a disastrous joint news conference in Helsinki last year.
“I hold both countries responsible,” Trump said at the time. “I think that the United States has been foolish. I think we’ve all been foolish.”
Asked to denounce Russian interference, Trump instead said Putin told him Moscow didn’t do it….
Weeeeee!
What a fun time!
And what do Republicans have to say about the Don and Vlad show?
Let’s talk about AOC!
Sometimes it breaks the ice when you start your mid-year performance review by cracking a light joke.
