After White House Releases Summary of Call Between Trump and Putin, People Imagine How the Call Really Went

Russian President Vladimir Putin's relationship with President Donald Trump has been a hot topic in the United States since Trump's presidential campaign.

With evidence detailed in the Mueller Report that Trump campaign officials welcomed Russian assistance to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, Americans across the country have condemned Trump's apparent subservience to Putin.

In the Summer of 2018 at a joint conference in Helsinki, Trump infamously sided with Putin over unanimous assessments from U.S. intelligence officials that Putin ordered a sweeping disinformation campaign to influence the American election. No record of their hours-long closed door discussion prior to the conference was released.


Recently, Putin and Trump had a phone conversation to discuss counterterrorism efforts between the two nations.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley described the call in a statement:

"Both Presidents committed to continuing counterterroris cooperation between the two countries. The Presidents also discussed the state of relations between the United States and Russia and future efforts to support effective arms control."


After Daily Beast editor Molly Jong-Fast suggested that the read-out of the call seemed somewhat "abbreviated," former Republican strategist Rick Wilson imagined his own version of how the call may have actually gone.


Others soon joined in.








The parodies of their conversation may be good for a laugh, but Russia's current efforts to interfere with the 2020 election are no joke.

Listen to George Takei's podcast Oh Myyy Pod: "Russian Interference" about how Putin was able to influence the 2016 U.S. election below.

Dem Rep. Blasts CNN Pundit For Griping About 'DEI' Firefighters Amid LA Wildfires

During a CNN appearance on Newsnight with Abby Phillip, Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett laid into conservative pundit Scott Jennings for insinuating that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives to diversify California fire departments are partially to blame for the Los Angeles wildfires.

Deadly wildfires in Los Angeles County remain largely uncontained, with officials reporting at least five confirmed fatalities so far. However, on Thursday, authorities admitted, “frankly, we don’t know” the true extent of the death toll. Evacuation orders are currently affecting nearly 180,000 residents, as thousands of homes and buildings have been destroyed.

People Recall The Most Out Of Touch Thing They've Heard Anyone Say

Getting everyone's point of view can be fascinating whenever you're with a group of people engaged in a discussion on a range of topics. However, the occasion can be eye-opening when someone unable to read the room makes a comment that can be interpreted as wildly inappropriate.

In an age where social norms are always challenging the way we engage in discourse, nothing is surprising... except for that one rare instance.
