U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin agrees with him that letting voters send in ballots by mail puts honest elections at risk.

“Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can’t have an honest election with mail-in voting,” Trump told Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” after a nearly three-hour meeting between the leaders in Alaska. “He said there’s not a country in the world that uses it now.”

    I thought they were there to discuss the Ukraine War? How did they get to mail in ballots?

    Also, why the fuck would the US care what Putin thinks of how the US elections are run?

          Yet Trump been in office and you criticize him like he been there for four years already

          In a paltry 6 months, he’s done far more than four years’ worth of damage to international relations and American citizens’ rights. That’s more than fair game for criticism, if you ask me.

              Zero.

              The number of people mentioning Biden before you. Also, the number of people that give two shits about Biden at this point in time. Like tRump, staying on topic requires a modicum of intelligence and focus.

              By the way, illegals can be anything those making the laws says it is. It’s a slippery slope, and when reduced to fewer and fewer people determining what is and isn’t illegal, the faster it is subject to change. You should hope whatever in group(s) you belong to now never fall out of favor with those in charge.

            That’s the joke. Right now OP has 57 downvotes and no upvote. What’s happening?

                Looks genuine but then he must have forgotten a not and some more

                and you criticize him like he has not been there for four years already

                I am still surprised by the votes. The following comments were not there to reveal his opinions. Does everybody track users to know that they are pro Trump or was TDS enough of a signal?

      Also, why the fuck would the US care what Putin thinks of how the US elections are run?

      Take a quick look at Putin/Russia’s electoral history for the past couple of decades, and maybe it’ll become more clear
