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.

    Yes I remember the beginning, just wasnt sure if it was explicitly said that its the gene pool that caused the change. Imo you could make the same movie and leave out that ‘fact’, it would still work. Uneducated parts of the population having disproportionally more kids could lead to that outcome given the current circumstances. As it is, there is a huge correlation between family income and level of education, but there is no causality, which disproves the genetic part.
