Back in April, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump spoke on the phone for 90 minutes—which may be when the Russian president caught the mumbles from his U.S. counterpart.
Late night comedy shows frequently mock Trump’s slurred mispronunciations that turn “Venezuela” into “Venezwhergull.” Even cautious Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon joined in the teasing, offering a supercut of Trump mangling words including “statistics,” “infrastructure,” and “significantly.”
Now the Russian president has a supercut of his own odd mumblings. It won’t appear on public TV because poking fun at the leader is not allowed. Still, last week, Russians were giggling in private after Putin met with members of the military and suggested their gathering end with a “Hurrah.” If they shouted loud enough, he told those assembled, the troops would hear it at the front.
