WH scrambles to walk back Biden nod indicating he can trust Putin

[Counselor706]

The White House on Wednesday scrambled to explain what Joe Biden meant when he nodded affirmatively in response to a question about whether or not he could trust Russian President Vladimir Putin.

During the chaotic press scrum that ensued, NBC News producer Elyse Perlmutter asked the president if he trusted Putin.

Biden looked at her and nodded in the affirmative, according to her account.

“During a chaotic free for all with members of the press shouting questions over each other, the President gave a general head nod in the direction of the media,” Psaki said in a statement to reporters after the meeting began. “He wasn’t responding to any question or anything other than the chaos.”

We can all trust Putin to be Putin. And we can trust Putin to hand-puppet Trump. And we can trust Trump to hand-puppet folks like Counselor706.
