President Trump's urging of Ukraine's President to investigate political rivals coincided with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban pushing a disparaging view of the country to Trump, The Washington Post reports

Citing current and former US officials, the Post reported that Putin and Orban did not explicitly name Ukraine as a potential source of dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden or mentioned the country's potential role in the 2016 US presidential election. However, the two leaders characterized Ukraine as corrupt and reinforced Trump's views of the country.

Trump spoke repeatedly with both Putin and Orban this spring and summer following Zelensky's election in late April, according to the paper.Putin"did what he always does" in looking to undermine the US-Ukraine relationship during his early May phone call with Trump, a former US official familiar with details of the conversation told the Post, adding that Putin"has always said Ukraine is just a den of corruption.

Funny how investigating corruption correlates to investigating Trump's political rivals. We can't help it if every single Democrat is corrupt as hell.

Trumps look of lies ensuing.....

Yawn

There are few leaders more dangerous than one who considers himself a “stable genius” when in reality he is an ignorant moron who is easily fooled and manipulated by dictators such as Putin and Kim Jong Un.

He’s got the intellect of a 4th grader. What do you expect?

.. and he bit, hook line and sinker.

I’ve been calling out cnn fake news for the past 10 years. Glade I have a president to call you guys out.

What can you expect. He doesn’t read, so he doesn’t know the constitution. That’s why it’s kicking his ass 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oiy

The simpler question is... Whom didn't he asked to investigate.... Btw.. The investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails are over now.. 😂 😂 😂

Love him

It doesn't bother the GOP Trump's their god. 😉

Every one that doesn't like Hillar, George Soros, CNN and whoever else is a Putin asset or spy

Classic -- 'Putin said so -- very forcefully...I have no reason to believe there isn't a problem with Ukraine.' (and as Putin pushes further into Ukraine - 'The Russians and Ukraine always fight - that's not our border, why should we care?')

All roads lead to Russia

👍

Yes the opinion of Washington Post matters how

The President with a third world country mind set.

More lies...

this confirms no quid pro quo!

Hey Trump, WE thinks it's time to see Doctor Bornstein!! Also your sniffling is worsening due to the intense lying. realDonaldTrump politico washingtonpost thehill

It’s exhausting to keep up on the non-news from CNN...

Drumpf has to listen to Master Putin

Again with Putin. Honestly sure looks like Trumps always attempting to kiss that Russian rear

ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW ImpeachTrumpNow FeelTheBern2020

fakenews as reported by fakenews. I wonder if this double negative makes it true.

Putin has so much dirt on Trump. He must have been persuasive at the start, although with Trump’s tiny intellect and uncontrollable narcissism it can’t have been difficult.

How much freakin evidence do we need to get rid of this psycho.

Putin’s negative view on Ukraine is factual, Ukraine has long history of corruption.

What is taking so long with this impeachment like get it done already. What more proof do you need. Trump literally said the constitution is fake.

Report on something good for a change. Newest report says median household income went up $975 over 8 years with obama. With trump it’s up $5,000. CNN is pure propaganda.

And........?

Moscow trump!

Trump is to stupid to have the idea about Ukraine on his own......Putin put it on an etch a sketch for him

So, Putin *is* dictating US foreign policy? We've all known it for a while now but this just confirms it.

The French designer is more than welcome NOT to have any of their products produced in the USA. Easy as that.
