On the other hand, everyone knew that Trump is an ego-driven bucket of narcissistic slop who can be manipulated with the slightest offerings of undeserved flattery. And most notably, Putin knew this and took full advantage of it. Putin actually has Trump believing that they have a unique camaraderie that permits him to communicate with the Russian dictator as if via a secret language.<\/p>\n
SEE THIS: The Putin Whisperer: Trump Brags that \u2018Putin Speaks to Me, He Doesn\u2019t Speak to Anybody Else\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The rapport that Trump has with Putin was revealed during a post-summit interview that Trump gave to Sean Hannity of Fox News (who else?). Trump spoke to Hannity immediately following the summit, before speaking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or any of our NATO allies. And while there was much disgorging of solipsistic propaganda, one part stood out as emblematic of Trump’s narrow focus on his singularly deranged perception of reality. He said that…<\/p>\n “Vladimir said just a little while ago, he said ‘I’ve never seen anybody do so much so fast.’ He said, ‘your country is, like, hot as a pistol,’ and a year ago he thought it was dead. Everybody thought it was dead.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n There are only two possible responses to that comment. Either it was an invention of Trump’s overactive and conceit-riddled imagination, or Putin was fluffing him to get a favorable reaction.<\/p>\n However, there is something else peculiar about Trump’s comment that needs to be recognized. Trump’s words, that he is attributing to Putin, are identical to the words that he has previously used himself to describe what he thinks is the great success he’s had in his second occupation of the White House. In June Trump spoke to the Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/strong> who reported that…<\/p>\n “President Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Sunday that he had completely changed the image of the United States since returning to office, speaking just hours after the Pentagon conducted military strikes against Iran.<\/p>\n “‘Our country is hot as a pistol,’ Trump said in a brief interview. ‘Six months ago, our country was cold as ice. It was dead.'”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Trump claims that Putin told him that "your country is, like, hot as a pistol," and "a year ago he thought it was dead."That's funny. Those are the very same words Trump used about America 2 months ago. Who knew that Putin speaks exactly the same as Trump? Or is it vice versa?<\/p>\n — News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social)<\/a> 2025-08-16T17:18:44.617Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
