“Trump once erupted into a fury after an aide told him he had missed a phone call with Vladimir Putin, an ex-adviser to former British Prime Minister Theresa May said on a podcast released Tuesday.
“Nick Timothy … said that during a meeting with May in the Oval Office, Trump went on a tirade against Michael Flynn, … his national security adviser ….
“Somebody just mentioned in passing that Vladimir Putin had asked for a call with him, and right in front us, he absolutely shouted down Mike Flynn. Like, really shouted. This was at a formal dinner, with butlers and fancy crockery. … [Trump] was properly shouting at him down the table, because ‘if Putin wants a call with me, you just put him through,’”
Timothy said. [Ellipses in original.] The story (read it here) doesn’t say what Putin’s call was about, but my guess is Trump missed an interest payment again.

If the call is on the red phone (ummm teletype) any President should really take that call. With the football nearby.
Putin is the football coach. Strategic game play maneuvering for the “re-election” of the Trumpster.
The football is American democracy. Stakes are high. Democracy is fragile. Will the red rogue Kremlin coach call in the right plays for the Red Trumpster team?
