Top White House officials told a reporter, “Your mom,” when asked who picked the location for Donald Trump’s upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Trump announced Thursday that he will soon meet with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine. The choice has raised questions, because Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court. However, Hungary appears unlikely to cooperate with the warrant and is in the process of leaving the court, the Associated Press reports.

When HuffPost asked the White House who chose the location for the meeting, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied, “Your mom did.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also followed up with, “Your mom,” the outlet reports.

    That would have been a good time for everyone involved! 😄

    Which is the exact opposite of what happens to reasonable people every time Miss Leave It steps up to the podium for a fresh batch of fascism apologia.

      I agree but it would of been funny as hell if it happened like that… Or better yet, like a TV show… “actually we did some research and found out she is actually your mother who gave you up for adoption while in college. And we have her here today to meet you for the first time since you were 4 days old…”
