In the book, the well-known American journalist Bob Woodward provides a unique vision behind the scenes of the American presidency. For example, Trump is said to have secretly sent Covid tests to Vladimir Putin while he was still president, when those tests were still rare. According to Woodward, the Russian president was very afraid of infection.
The Kremlin confirmed on Wednesday that the tests were sent at the height of the epidemic. According to the book, Trump and Putin also spoke to each other after Trump’s term as president, “perhaps up to 7 times.” The Kremlin denies this, and Trump also calls the allegations “false,” but the whole situation still raises questions about Trump’s attitude toward Putin and other controversial figures.
“This is another clear example of who Trump really is,” Vice President Kamala Harris responded. “People in America were struggling to get tests, and this guy is sending them to Russia, to a murderous dictator for his own personal use,” Harris said.
According to Trump’s campaign team, the book belongs “in the bargain section of the novel section of a cheap bookstore, or it could serve as toilet paper.”
