Russia has confirmed that Donald Trump sent the Kremlin sample Covid-19 tests in the early days of the pandemic, after revelations in veteran journalist Bob Woodward’s new book raised further questions about the former US president’s relationship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

I saw one report that said it wasn't those disposable single use tests, it was testing machines intended for hospitals. Haven't seen it corroborated.

I'm confident he didn't just fedex some nasal swabs, bro. Is that what you initially thought the uproar is about? That the president of the united states mailed Putin a few boxes of BinaxNOW?

I'll admit, that would be hilarious.

So he lied. Did CNN say that?

Dear reader, they did not.

The Kremlin’s response seemingly contradicts Trump’s denial of Woodward’s claims.

They almost tried to say it.

It's a weird position to be in when you have to believe either Trump or Putin is telling the truth when both are well-known liars.

/but of course it's true that Trump sent the tests to daddy Putin because he's a weak lil bitch.
