Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has some sort of financial influence over former President Trump.

In an interview with MSNBCā€™s ā€œInside with Jen Psaki,ā€ Pelosi said Putin is the ā€œrichest person in the worldā€ and has ā€œstiff competitionā€ to being named the most evil person in the world.

Pelosi asked ā€œwhat does he have on Donald Trump that heā€™d have to constantly be catering to Putin?ā€

Her comments came just after Trump doubled down on his criticism of NATO and said he would encourage Russia to attack U.S. allies who fail to reach the allianceā€™s defense spending goals. Trump has also declined to criticize Putin for the death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian prison last week.

    But compromising with traitors is the best way to show progressives that traitors are better regarded by the party than theyā€™ll ever be.

      The one thing everyone in Washington can agree on - progressives are the scum of the earth.

      Ending the ā€œcampaign financeā€ gravy train, improving social safety nets to allow people to live a life free from fear and desperation, meaningful action to address climate change, fair wagesā€¦truly a capitalistā€™s nightmare.
