What Trump Said to Putin

A former National Security Council official speaks to Politico: “They were pretty much what you would expect, you can take the first part of the Zelensky call with all of the over the top effusive praise and basically copy and paste onto pretty much any head of state call with Trump, whether it was Emmanuel Macron or Vladimir Putin. Every one of them knew to start the call by praising him for the thing that he had just done that week.”

Of the Putin calls, the official said: “They were certainly the type of thing that you would not want in public because they were just really embarrassing from the standpoint of just national pride.”
