Trump sent scarce COVID-19 tests to Putin for his own personal use

Bob Woodward's new book, "War," being published next week, reveals that in the darkest hour in 2020, when there was no vaccine and most people in the world (including the U.S.) could not obtain covid tests, Donald Trump sent priceless tests to Vladimir Putin for personal use. And both Putin and Trump took pains to prevent fallout. Putin cautioned Trump not to reveal that he dispatched the scarce equipment to Moscow, “I didn't want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me. I don't want you to tell anybody.” And Trump, of course, didn't.

I wonder if there's anyway to verify this story. One of Trump's problems is that he lies and exaggerates so much, that his opponents can, in turn, lie about him and people will believe the lie about Trump because it will ring true given Trump's own propensity to lie and exaggerate.

Well, the book will be out next week. I suppose we could see if Woodward actually has credible (and maybe even verifiable) evidence for the claim.

Would it impress you if he did?

MSNBC The Fox News of the left.

Lol.
You have zero interest in facts that denigrate Trump. Look at how you just wave them off here.

Most of the rest of us don't, which is why we shake our heads at Trump and his little black heart, and you're like the guys with the brushes in curling smoothing the path for him blind and indifferent to what a monster it is you carry water for:

That's the sycophantic role you've chosen for yourself, like Dracula's Renfield:

The source was a Trump aid. And the story is consistent with what we know of Trump's feeings for putin.

The bigger question I have is if Trump was sending putin Covid tests as a favor, did he also send intel that he took when he left the White House. It's a whole other issue, but given Trump's willingness to gain favor from putin who knows how far he would go.

Well for what it is worth, the Kremlin says Trump is lying.

Kremlin refutes Trump denial on sending Putin COVID tests

Of course Trump's mouth piece has the usual adult response.
  • Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said Tuesday that the allegations were "made up stories" and called Woodward "a truly demented and deranged man."

So you are spreading an account from an unpublished book that isn't available for checking and written by a Trump hater that is known to use unverifiable "unnamed sources".

Who cares?
If anything, I'd see this as a positive. It was a freaking global pandemic for crimeney's sake. The corona virus doesn't care about anyone's politics, and politics shouldn't play a role in helping out others regarding it. Nobody wants politically weaponized viral warfare. (If you do, I would suggest some soul searching might be in order.)
