Legal AF by MeidasTouch - Putin MERCILESSLY MOCKS Trump AGAIN and AGAIN

Episode Date: November 18, 2024

Putin had Russian TV on its most-watched channel run semi-nude photos of Melania Trump a day or two after Trump and Musk called Putin to warn him not to escalate the war with Ukraine, a call Putin also denied ever happened. Michael Popok explores what Putin’s direct trolling of Trump means for Trump’s ability to end the war as promised, and what the strange relationship between Trump and Melania means for the rest of us.

Vladimir Putin responded to Donald Trump's demand that he stop accelerating the war in Ukraine, that he hold off until Donald Trump gets into office.

He responded by having his state-run television show semi-pornographic photos of Melania Trump that are out there during an alleged program about the win by Donald Trump at the polls and the Russians celebrating it. With friends like these, I'm Michael Popak on Legal AF and the Midas Touch Network. Let's talk about how Putin has already responded and we now have a rocky relationship going here between Putin and Trump at a moment when Donald Trump has said, for instance, that he has a close relationship with him, that he's going to be able to get him to put an end to the war in Ukraine immediately, as soon as they get into office. That's why he had Elon Musk on the phone. That's why apparently Boris Epstein in Donald Trump's inner circle, who has no experience

as a diplomat, is barely a lawyer. He's already volunteered to be the special envoy to try to solve the the the the war in Ukraine that has been of course promoted and prosecuted by the Russians against the Ukraine now in response to the phone call We did some reporting on the Midas touch network about the phone call There were a series of phone calls that week after the election that Donald Trump made with Elon Musk his lapdog apparently sitting on his lap during the phone calls with these people. And then Russian state television went into action in a program that was supposed to be celebrating because they love Donald Trump, celebrating Donald Trump's victory.

All of a sudden they had photos of Melania Trump on a-nude modeling. Let's roll the clip. Melania Trump. My husband finally won. He's getting ready for the second round. Nude photos of Melania Trump have been aired on Russia's most watched state TV channel during a program supposedly dedicated to celebrating Trump's election victory. This comes after Trump allegedly urged Putin not to escalate the Ukraine war in a phone call last week.

But the Kremlin denies that this phone call ever took place. That is a response, if I've ever seen one. That is not by chance. That is the number one watch channel in Russia. Nothing on there from an editorial standpoint happens without Putin's approval. If they, if they decided to try to embarrass Donald Trump by showing these photos, these scandalous, scandal-y clad photos of Melania Trump during a piece that was supposed to be a puff piece about Donald Trump, that is a signal that Putin is not to be trifled with. If Donald Trump thinks he's just

gonna sit down and do the art of the deal with Putin, it's not happening. And Putin is signaling that to him. I mean, could you imagine if we did that? I mean, right after Putin won election, Donald Trump had Fox News run semi-naked photos of his mistress or one of his wives. I mean, at the moment of critical negotiations. Come on. I mean, but this stuff doesn't get, it gets missed by corporate media. It doesn't get missed here on the Midas Touch Network and on Legal AF. We got a Melania problem here. They've got a Melania problem there. We got a Melania problem here. They've got a Melania problem there. We got a Melania problem here. First, let's start with there in Russia. The fact that they're even celebrating the win. I mean, I've said it time and time again, this cabinet

that Donald Trump's putting together, particularly Department of Defense, Human Services, Intelligence, and Attorney General, this group looks like it was hand picked by Putin. I don't know how a Putin list and a Trump list would be any different. In fact, this is probably better than any wet dream of Putin about what he could do within America. He's having a person just elected president do it for him. You almost want to think it's a Trojan horse that Trump, not Gabbard, is the Russian asset. So you've got that going on.

Then you've got the dysfunctional relationship between Donald Trump and Putin, with Putin in the lead, certainly playing mind games. You don't think he thinks that Donald Trump was shown this video? How did Russia television cover my win? Roll the tape. Okay, is that Melania? Yes, it is. That may be one of the only times

we're actually going to see Melania in the next four years. She has made it be known, I mean, I live and work in New York. She's made it be known that she is not up for another four years as full-time First Lady. No way, no how. I work a couple of blocks from Trump Tower where they live. Her kid, who's her pride and joy, the sun rises and sets on Barron Trump,

the king of the crypto world for Donald Trump, this 18-year-old. He's going to school where I went to school. He's going to NYU up the street on Fifth Avenue, and's gonna be you know within an umbilical cords length of Baron Trump. That's all she wants to do. She wants the the spa day and the lady lunchtime and the shopping and maybe even at Bergdorf's across the street from Trump Tower where where EG and Carol was raped by Donald Trump in 1996. Like like shopping trips like that.

she has improved considerably her own prenuptial agreement and made sure that Barron had the equal share of the Trump fortune along with his half brothers and sisters through other women like Ivana. And she has refused to go to the White House because of that. Everybody was wondering why in 2016, she stayed behind and didn't go to the White House

for a couple of months. They said, oh, the baron's still in school. That wasn't the reason. It was extortion. She hadn't yet finished her negotiations over her prenup to increase it. Everything we heard, it went up by about 20 or 30 million dollars in order for her to go become the First Lady. Now we know why she doesn't want to be the First Lady when she got there.

We know she used to cry and moan about having to do the job. Oh, I don't want to do the Easter egg roll. Oh, I don't want to do the job. Oh, I don't want to do the Easter egg roll. Oh, I don't want to do the Christmas. Oh, I hate these people in my house, you know, like that. She said it out loud. I don't want to play the tape again. But we have audio of her complaining about her having to do her first lady duties.

She obviously put all of her anger about it into chopping down the rose garden planted and arranged by the beloved Jackie Kennedy. And then why don't we have all red Christmas trees one year? Blood red, Russian red Christmas trees. Yeah, let's do that. And she's not going back now. You think you didn't see her a lot in the first term?

She's going to be only there for state dinners, the inauguration balls, state dinners, and a couple of other events she has to go to. Otherwise, you and I and our taxpayer dollars are going to be spending a lot of money and resources protecting her as she traipses around New York with all of her luxury handbags and shopping and doing and doing her life, you know? That's what's gonna happen and there's nothing we can do about it. Donald Trump's gonna be sleeping alone although we know how that's worked out in the past. I started the hot take where I wanted to, which is, is this

how, is this how, uh, with friends like these, you don't need enemies, right? You don't need, it's Putin responding to the, thank you for the phone call, run the porno photos of millennia on state TV and laugh about it. Oh my God. It's just totally crazy. Absolutely crazy. We've seen some crazy things on Russian television and they're ballsy. You know, Putin is, give him credit as an evil genius. He's got brass ones that are bigger than Donald Trump's whatever's left down there. Honestly, he had on another Russian television network or channel, he had them speculate out loud that Tulsi Gabbard, who Donald Trump picked for national intelligence director, must be a Russian asset.

This is on Russian television, state owned. Calling her superwoman and saying she must work for Russian special services. You think that was a coincidence? And then Russia TV in America, RT TV, they get caught and indicted for taking $10 million and pumping it through a, what appears to be an innocent victim here, although I can't possibly believe it, that they were given $10 million for a Tennessee podcast company right right wing, a bro podcast company. And then all of a sudden all the bros on the podcast were spouting Kremlin Pravda, Kremlin talking points against Ukraine, just like Tulsi Gabbard did. You know, is that what we're watching here? The Red Menace has completely and totally

infiltrated American society up to the presidency. I don't know. I'm going to continue to watch it right here on Midas Touch Network and on Legal AF.
