Kremlin responds to Putin-Trump phone calls claim
The parts of Bob Woodward’s book about contacts continuing after the US president left office are ‘bogus’, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said
”It’s a typical bogus story in the context of the pre-election political campaign,” the Russian official told The New York Times on Tuesday, when asked about the purported communications described by journalist Bob Woodward in his new book, ‘War’.
The story was based on claims made by an unnamed aide to Trump, the author said. The Republican candidate’s presidential campaign has dismissed the content of ‘War’ as “made-up stories” by an author “who suffers from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
The New York Times said it reached out to serving and former officials in the current and previous administrations and the US intelligence community. The 20 sources said they had no knowledge of Trump-Putin calls taking place in the nature described in Woodward’s book.
So did Gore.
Indeed, the electoral college is a way to prevent mob-rule, and it balances out cities vs. rural issues (so that cities do not outvote farmers by sheer numbers - for obvious reasons - it is like two wolves voting on what's for lunch, while the other vote goes to a young deer.)
This makes USA a Republic, not a Demmemmocramecy.
