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’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. President Camacho was not smart, but he was well meaning. As soon as he knew there was someone smart enough to fix their problems he put them on task and worked to improve people’s lives.

There’s nothing well meaning from the current administration and anything good that possibly comes of it is happenstance. The current administration is not idiocracy, it’s a kleptocratic authoritarian nightmare.

Plus, as far as we know President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho was not a rapist, of adults or children which is another thing he has over Donald.

I'd argue that President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is smarter than Trump.
