Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has some sort of financial influence over former President Trump.

In an interview with MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Pelosi said Putin is the “richest person in the world” and has “stiff competition” to being named the most evil person in the world.

Pelosi asked “what does he have on Donald Trump that he’d have to constantly be catering to Putin?”

Her comments came just after Trump doubled down on his criticism of NATO and said he would encourage Russia to attack U.S. allies who fail to reach the alliance’s defense spending goals. Trump has also declined to criticize Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison last week.

      Please provide evidence that Cornell West has a chance of beating both Trump and Biden.

      Because, again, I want to save my daughter’s life.

      It sounds like you think I shouldn’t care about her life.

          Seriously?

          Ok, 10 seconds of Google later-

          In a five-person hypothetical 2024 general election matchup that includes independent and Green Party candidates, Biden receives 39 percent support, Trump receives 37 percent support, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. receives 14 percent support, independent candidate Cornel West receives 3 percent support, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein receives 2 percent support.

            Last time I checked Trump started at 1% in his 2016 run. So Cornel West is certain to win with a 300% better start!

            Also prove to that Trump is going to Genocide your daughter

              In other words, you have absolutely no evidence to support your claim. You also clearly think it’s funny if my daughter dies, which is sick. But it does prove that you don’t give a shit about queer people.

                  I have never once done that. In fact, I have specifically asked who I should vote for in order for them to win and stop the genocide in Israel. You and everyone like you won’t tell me.

                  Why? Because you want Trump to win.

                  Because you and the others will laugh as queer people are marched into camps while pretending you told us so.

                    Neither Biden nor Trump will be able to stop the genocide in Israel. Only Bibi can do that and Bibi doesn’t care what the US says.

                    If killing Gazans is your issue, you need to find a different one, because the US isn’t going to stop it.

          Cornell West is only on the ballot in 2 states and has no chance in either. Trump will take Alaska and Biden will take Oregon.

          He’s not a candidate in any other state and burning resources to get on the ballot instead of campaigning means he’s just another 1 to 2% fringe candidate.

          He won’t beat Trump or Biden because he literally can’t.
