Donald Trump supporters have been brutally mocked on Russian state-controlled TV

Donald Trump supporters have been brutally mocked on Russian state-controlled TV, with one commentator branding them "not very smart primitive people."
The comments were made during Friday's edition of the primetime Meeting Point show which is broadcast by NTV, a network owned by state-controlled energy giant Gazprom. Newsweek emailed representatives of Donald Trump's presidential campaign for comment on Saturday. The former president remains by far the frontrunner in the race to be the GOP candidate for the White House.
A 52-second clip, complete with English-language translation, was shared on X on Saturday by Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of self-styled 'pro-democracy' media outlet Meidas Touch. So far, it has received more than 913,000 views.
In the video, Maxim Yusin, a Russian journalist and political commentator, says: "The majority of people who vote for Trump are not very smart primitive people with whom you need to talk like this, with cliches and dumb slogans."
The remark triggers laughter from other members of the panel, one of whom goes on to describe Trump supporters as "rednecks" and compares them to villagers who cry out for money.
Referring to Trump's rhetoric at campaign rallies, a third commentator adds: "He shuffles around the same 10 words, such a b******, that's all... This man is planning to be president again." This sparks laughter from other panel members, to which he jokingly responds: "Enough, stop laughing! Idiotic idiots!"
Yusin then says that this is Trump's way of communicating before adding that Ukraine should get nothing from the United States in terms of military aid.
On Tuesday, the Senate voted to approve a $95 billion foreign aid package, including an additional $60 billion in military assistance for Ukraine, which has been battling a full-scale Russian invasion since February 2022.
Before President Biden can sign it into law, the legislation must also be approved by the House of Representatives, but Republican Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to say whether he will bring the bill to a vote.
A bipartisan package had been agreed by Democrats and Republicans in the Senate. It would have provided aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan and tightened border security. However, this was rejected by GOP hardliners, including Johnson, who said it was insufficient to tackle illegal immigration.
On Saturday, the Ukrainian military said it had withdrawn its forces from the small Donbas city of Avdiivka, which Russian forces have been trying to capture for months. Ukraine said the withdrawal was to avoid unnecessary casualties. The fall of Avdiivka is Russia's biggest territorial gain since it seized the city of Bakhmut in May 2023, with Ukrainian defenders complaining of ammunition shortages since U.S. aid dried up.
On Friday, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in the prison he was being held, at an Arctic penal colony, according to Moscow authorities. Navalny had been jailed on corruption charges, which he insisted were politically motivated, after returning to Russia in 2021.
The previous year, Navalny had been poisoned by nerve agent Novichok, with a joint investigation by Russian news website The Insider and Netherlands-based investigative journalism group Bellingcat blaming the attack on Russian intelligence agents. The Kremlin denied having anything to do with Navalny's poisoning.

Will MAGA still love Putin tomorrow ?
I truly do believe Russia is laughing at US, cause if the shoes were on the others feet, i'd get a blister on my toe,
cause Hillary says so.
no, actually it is the Russian commentators saying so...
Putin tried to get Hillary elected and the head of the CIA lied about it. Now Putin says he prefers Biden and why wouldn't he? Biden is like a piece of putty for our enemies. We happen to have a big enemy that Biden took money from.
who told you this , Trump ? or Putin ?
Did Biden have a Chinese bank account like Trump does ? Is this info from Smirnoff ? And on that note, be right back, gotta grab my BEER out of my truck !
Biden is not a businessman. He has been a public servant all his life. Explain the 4 mansions?
Is this info from Smirnoff ?
No, Tony Bobulinski.
And on that note, be right back, gotta grab my BEER out of my truck
Very good.
Perhaps he took a page outta The Art of the Deal, and overvalued the properties worth for the banks and Insurance companies, and then devalued them for the tax man, cause hey, it worked for Trump for decades...
On his best day Joe Biden couldn't make money for banks or anyone else. All he can do is sell the country out.
he's done a heck of a comeback here in the US , as in better than about ANYONE thought, but you keep swallowing that which they allow you to drink, and by the way, is that Kool Aid Purple or Pink >?
It's called Bacardi Rum.
i'll drink to that
Rot gut ….. Flor de Cana or Diplomatico please.
Do progressives love him today?
Their guy was Stalin.
probably, but not as much as tomorrow, think progressive.
maybe he needed a tune up...?
Our college professors were all lined up!
not the shop teachers ...?
Putin is all in on Biden. First he endorsed him for president,now this. If he interferes in the elections like Russia traditionally does on democrats’ behalf, democrats will be supporting military aid for Russia against the Nazi in Ukraine by next summer
Yea, forget about that guy that wants to dismantle NATO and let those countries fend for themselves as Putin can do as he wishes with them, cause Putin should really be frightened by that guy....?
Only in the minds of the easily duped.
Don't you know anything about how KGB-style disinformation campaigns are conducted? Putin recognizes that he is generally unpopular in the U.S., with the exception of certain elements in the far right wing, and believes that his phony endorsement of Biden will help taint Biden's candidacy in favor of his preferred candidate, Trump.
That comment is nothing short of bizarre.
"The majority of people who vote for Trump are not very smart primitive people with whom you need to talk like this, with cliches and dumb slogans."
Why does MAGA instantly come to mind...? Cause they are Tremendous Bigly smart, and Trump said "We won with the highly educated. We won with the poorly educated. I love the poorly educated. We're the smartest people, we're the most loyal people, and you know what i'm happy about? No, but let me guess, you've managed to start a cult because the dumbing down of America has reached the point where people would rather follow you than reality, and that is plain fcked up !"
eferring to Trump's rhetoric at campaign rallies, a third commentator adds: "He shuffles around the same 10 words, such a b******, that's all... This man is planning to be president again." This sparks laughter from other panel members, to which he jokingly responds: "Enough, stop laughing! Idiotic idiots!"

And the GOP is again doing what best serves Putin after being directed to do such, via Trump, Putins #1 fav fan
Only TDS driven leftists give a fuck about what state controlled Russian media says.
Must be tired of ignoring all of their politicians taking money from, sleeping with, and hiring Chinese spies as chauffers.
They will take their good news anywhere they can get it. Even if it is from Putin.
Only sometimes. Putin did an interview recently and they refused to listen. Other times they are all ears.
If you think Russia laughing at Trump supporters is good news for ANYONE in the United States, you are mistaken. We are Americans first (well, supposed to be) and if they're laughing at Trumpers, they're also laughing at the US in its entirety, and that pisses me the fck off !
I think the cheese has finally slipped completely off the lefts cracker. Suddenly Russia is good because they are allegedly mocking Trump supporters? Hilarious.
Their brain rot appears to be complete.
