Putin Tapping Trump Along Because he Knows he's Dealing with a Moron

Marco Rubio "doesn't know" if Putin is tapping him along. In reality, little Marco with his big ears knows that Putin thinks Trump is an idiot who is easy to manipulate. But little Marco doesn't dare tell his boss what he thinks. He tells him "I don't know".

"Tap along" or "string along" means to pretend to be interested while delaying a final refusal.

Bunny-eared Marco Rubio said over the weekend that the U.S. will find out “pretty soon” if Putin is serious about wanting peace in Ukraine.

In an interview on “Face the Nation,” the genius Rubio said the U.S. is currently "testing" Russia’s position on peace in Ukraine. Rubio has turned into a scientist running tests and asked himself the question and answered it.

“So I think your question is, are they tapping us along?” Rubio asked. “Well, that’s what we’re trying to find out. We’ll find out pretty soon.” “We don’t want to be involved in this process of just endless talks. There has to be some progress,” Rubio said. “If, at the end of this, in the next few days, we get a document produced by both sides, and it shows that both sides are making concessions and being realistic and rational in their approach, then I think we can feel good about continuing to remain engaged.”

You have to understand that Trump, Rubio and all his moronic MAGA characters don't give a hoot about peace. They just want to make money out of Ukraine, and so just the "announcement" of a possible pathway to negotiations is sufficient for Trump to claim success before he turns more senile and demented. After that, negotiations could take years to get somewhere, if ever, as long as there is money to be made at the end of a presumptive asinine "deal" with the 21st-century Hitler known as Vladimir Putin.

The direct phone conversation between Trump and Putin last Monday did not produce any result.

Notice, please, Trump's last phrase in his post on Truth Social platform on Saturday: “STOPPING THE ‘BLOODBATH’ THAT IS KILLING, ON AVERAGE, MORE THAN 5000 RUSSIAN AND UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS A WEEK, AND TRADE.”

Moron Trump defended Putin’s absence from a possible meeting in Istanbul between Ukrainian president Zelensky and the Russian dictator, saying "the Russian leader did not show up [in Istanbul] because he wasn’t planning to attend." Yes, Trump's scintillating logic here is similar to me saying, "I am not here because I am not here".
