Top White House officials told a reporter, “Your mom,” when asked who picked the location for Donald Trump’s upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin.
Trump announced Thursday that he will soon meet with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine. The choice has raised questions, because Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court. However, Hungary appears unlikely to cooperate with the warrant and is in the process of leaving the court, the Associated Press reports.
When HuffPost asked the White House who chose the location for the meeting, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied, “Your mom did.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also followed up with, “Your mom,” the outlet reports.
I love news articles like these because I get to say how useless yellow press has been to actual politics. Don’t get me wrong the GOP is nothing but yellower than our sun.
Get to telling the truth leavitt and you can say all the to momma jokes you want
Trolls have taken over the White House… time to stop feeding them.
They have, but you can’t expect journalists to not ask the administration questions. It is literally their job.
There are tons of people in the white house they could call on or off the record. There is no reason to listen to Leavitts propaganda report on the regular. I am surprised they cover her as much as they do, I literally tune her out now because I know everything she says is a lie. Steven Miller is a ghoul, but even he is more honest about what they are doing… whether on purpose or Freudian slips…
It’s their job to get the shitty things they say on the record. That is important, too. I know it doesn’t make anyone feel good but it still has to be done.
Reuters will be there, just get it from them if you need it.
She is the White House Press Secretary. She is literally the primary interface between the Whitehouse and the press, and you’re arguing the press should not ask her questions and report on her statements?
This blaming the journalists for reporting what the White House Press Secretary says is really backwards.
Translation: Trump picked it.
Too bad women leaders are too emotional to be a true leader and we are left with, whatever this is. Its certainly not leadership.
And how’s the slander lawsuit going?
They just keep remaining the classiest, mature adults in positions of power over others.
They picked her because of her Christianities.
13 Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” 14 But He answered him “Your Mom”, so that the governor marveled greatly.
15 And ye, the onlookers clapped in awe
Mature, serious, on point. /s

WTF? Is America just a giant Middle School?
Wow, so Idiocracy then.
Why is trump and gov so cringe and embarrassing? Ew
I don’t like conspiracy theories, but I’m going to put on my tinfoil hat and speculate that they all caught alien brain worms from RFK Jr.'s infection.
Lmaooo fr 🙃 There’s another conspiracy theory about trump that Stephen Miller just locks him in a room with a screen playing nonstop AI slop videos about himself which now seems completely logical. It’s why he’s so confused that his reality isn’t matching objective reality. Trump just watches AI videos.
Not the onion, yikes what a shit show
Hungary is a signatory to the Rome Statute and would legally have to arrest Putin if he set foot there…
But watch as they do nothing.
Shoulda responded “Okay but, I am rubber and you are glue, so… Egg on your face!”
Or “my mom died of cancer you insensitive cunt!”
I bet this would likely cause her actual physical arousal. We’re not dealing with well adjusted people here.
So glad the most armed nation is history is run by such mature level headed adults.
Seriously, why does everything feel like fucking dumbass highschool bullies are running things? Was that Bowling for Soup song right??
It feels like it, sadly because it’s true.
It is sad, and the people who made it happen are hiding. No more maga flags on trucks, don’t see the hats around. They know what they did
Why do I see comments like this all over Lemmy? Do people like you ever go outside?
I’ve been traveling all over the south the last couple months, the MAGA folks are louder and prouder than ever.
As a European, the U.S. is huge, is it really inconceivable that some people regret their choices and have left MAGA behind? That’s a good thing ultimately, no?
Also even if it’s not regret the social stigma may be enough to cow some of them back down.
I haven’t seen a trump flag, shirt or hat in like 6 months. Still see the bumper stickers occasionally.
It beats me what they’re proud of exactly. All they all variations on Dean Cain ?
Walking less than a mile around my neighborhood in a purple state proves you wrong many times over. There’s at least 30 some households and vehicles with Trump or otherwise conservative paraphernalia scattered about that we see in our immediate area. Three of these houses are on my block.
“Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store called, and they’re all out of you!”
