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.

I think it's actually a little bit deeper than that.

Yes, it's true that they don't care about decency, but also "I don't care about decency" is their brand.

Trump is a bully, and they love him for it. He's their hammer after years of being told that they were racist and ignorant, and that they were supposed to care about those things. He's their rebuttal. "You can't make me be decent, and I'll prove it."

Now a lot of the other MAGA's are trying to do the same thing, but only some of them can pull it off. Like JD Vance tries to act tough, but I don't think he's fooling anyone.
