Jason Johnson on Report Trump Sent Putin Covid Tests: ‘Peak Absurdity’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: "You know you’ve reached peak absurdity when legendary investigative journalist Bob Woodward reports that Donald Trump sent Vladimir Putin Covid tests at the beginning of the pandemic. Remember, back when barely any tests were available, causing a massive public health emergency? But now the Kremlin has thrown Trump under the bus by confirming Woodward’s reporting. Kremlin backing Bob Woodward, reminding us once again that Donald Trump really has no friends. Woodward’s new book titled 'War' reveals just how chatty Trump got with Putin, claiming Trump has spoken with Putin as many as seven times since he left the White House, including as recently as this year. Look, in any other campaign, this would have been an October surprise. But as we’ve learned, Donald Trump is perhaps the only candidate in U.S. history whose fondness of Putin is strangely dangerously no big deal to his supporters.”
