  2. Fucking media should repeatedly call Trump’s bluff and demand that he proves Putin will do things for him like releasing the reporter now.

  3. If Trump has this power, why doesn’t he wave it around *before* the election to show everyone how influential he is?

    Spoiler: Because he’s a liar.

  4. Trump asking Putin for election interference sounds eerily familiar.

  6. Just so that he can play the “I freed him, Putin does what I say” bs card.

    His soul knows no bottom.

  7. Ironic given that Trump’s been Putin’s hostage for way longer.

  9. what in the fresh hells is this? trying to pull a reagan?

    dingleberry is freakin desperate.

  11. This seems like pure ammunition for the Democrats, yet I don’t hear a peep about this from Biden or anyone in the administration.

  12. He doesn’t give a flying fuck about this actual hostage, he only cares about freeing his beloved J6 ‘hostages’.

  13. Did PlayGolf Shitler just leak his October Surprise 5 months early?

  14. And of course the news props up the despot and pushes down on Biden. 🙄

  15. “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 missing emails…”

  16. If Trump wins, will it be open season on democrats literally and figuratively?

  17. If he were really a tough guy, he would say something like, “Putin, you better release him now. You will hate dealing with me a lot more than dealing with Biden.”

    But he’s not a legit tough guy.

  22. So similar to what Nixon did to keep the Vietnam war going, even closer to what Reagan did with the Iran Hostage crisis. The republicans will do ANYTHING to gain power including making deals with dictators and America’s enemies.

  23. Now THIS is how the headline about his comment should read

  25. How is this not treason? Biden should toss Trump in Gitmo and when people freak out, just say Trump claims “we have immunity” lol

  26. Trump tells Putin to keep American in jail through election

  27. that Wall Street reporter is a friend of mine. i fucking hate Trump with all my soul. that reporter was always such a good kid when i knew him. he doesn’t deserve this.

  28. At this point, I just assume no one reads articles:

    Last month, Trump stated (in response to prodding by a Time interviewer) that he hopes Russia will release Gershkovich. Trump insisted it would not happen unless he is elected: “And here’s a difference between me and Biden: I’ll get him released. He’ll be released. Putin is going to release him.”

    It’s the usual bullshit Trump “only I can get things done” bravado, not as the headline suggests him telling Putin to keep the journalist until after the election.

    These sorts of articles need to stop. It adds legitimacy to their “the media is out to get him” routine.
