When is America going to wake up? No one else infuriated at this? Concerned? Are we all asleep or hypnotized by our phones? Our country must be a freaking laughingstock.
White House officials issued a childish retort on Thursday to a reporter's question about the location of the next summit between the American and Russian presidents.
HuffPost reporter S.V. Date, the outlet's senior White House correspondent, asked aides why President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are planning to meet in Budapest, Hungary, for their next summit. Trump announced the summit on Thursday, telling reporters in the Oval Office that Hungarian President and Putin ally Viktor Orban is going to "host" the meeting.
Dale asked who chose the venue for the meeting. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt replied, "Your mom did." White House Communications Director Steven Cheung added, "Your mom."

resorting to the ones that expose them as children.

This is incredibly disconcerting. This should worry us more than I think it is right now. They didn't give a shit anymore. There has to be a reason.
