I don’t think it’s a question. Trump is a national security risk.
Why is Trump calling Putin so many times?
- Thread starter sabula
- Start date
Quoting the OP (Mr./Ms Sabula):
"... the new book by Bob Woodward cites at least seven times since losing the election in 2020 that Bonespurs has reached out to Putin."
That looks to me to have been very carefully worded ... using the election as the point of reference rather than the date of Biden's inauguration allows for all sorts of flexibility in one's argument.
That somehow justifies it for you?
Man, you are deep deep down the Rabbit Hole here...
I'm probably not smart enough to carefully word something to try to conceal some deep dark secret. I simply stated it the way I read it online. Seven times since he lost the election. Edit: double checking the article... stated 7 calls to the murderous dictator since leaving office.

I believe I have numerous threads on this. He works for and reports to Putin. The GOP is an anti American domestic terrorist who.
Fair point but it doesn't mean they all came in that early window.
If they all came during Trump's term, it's a non-issue. And if they came later but were all about golf it's a non-issue. I'm guessing neither of those is true, but I'd like to know.
Reading comprehension is not working very well in this thread. It's been stated clearly he made seven calls to putin the dictator after he left office. It was probably just his usual groveling and pandering to putin.
I suck at trying to link things. I just Googled the AP story about Trump calling Putin seven times and it took me to their article.
Thanks. That clearly states "since leaving office." So now we just need NSA (or whomever) to leak the content to see how worried we should be.
After the way we treated folks like Snowden and Assange (among others) I wonder if there are any patriots willing to take the risk?
Raising the question . . . Which is more patriotic: breaking the law to leak information the public needs to know or following the law to hide information the public needs to know? I side with the leakers.
I side with "Biden declassifying the conversations" and publicly releasing, provided that no operational capabilities are compromised.
That would be great (assuming there's actually worrisome content in the released calls). But if he did that he would be accused of trying to steal the election. We'd argue about that and lose sight of the content of the calls.
Heck, if Joe did that, the Red House would probably impeach him - and do so in record time to help steal the election.
So?
It's relevant election information. And releasing them is an "official act" that has absolute immunity here.
Isn't it tantamount to treason to conduct diplomacy outside of the official government channels?
I agree. But Rs are so much better at framing and distorting.
I think they're just much more shameless about these things. If they weren't Oliver North would be destitute instead of worth more than almost everyone that posts here.
Excerpt:
Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, said none of the stories in Woodward’s books are true. In a statement on Tuesday, he called them “the work of a truly demented and deranged man who suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the reporting about the calls was “not true.”
I like how they agree on this.
Maybe if the denial wasn’t in the form of a nuclear Bomb of world salad it just might be believable 😁
What would you expect Bonespurs communication director to say? That it was all true? Bonespurs would fire him in a hot second. I trust people who are not beholden to the particulars, like the author Woodward.
I remember when Ramsey Clark had the temerity to visit Iran in a private effort to get the hostages released.
As I recall, Carter threatened to jail Clark.
