Donald Trump got an important detail wrong about his upcoming meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin ― and, boy, did the internet let him have it.
The president is scheduled to meet his Russian counterpart on Friday to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine, but he was apparently unaware that the meeting is not in Russia.
While fear-mongering about crime in Washington, D.C., on Monday, Trump told reporters: “You know, I’m going to see Putin. I’m going to Russia on Friday. I don’t like being up here, talking about how unsafe and how dirty and disgusting this once-beautiful capital was.”
To be clear: Trump is meeting Putin in Alaska, not Russia.
The White House responded to HuffPost’s request for comment with an insult about TDS, or “Trump derangement syndrome,” but declined to mention the president’s obvious error.
