On October 7, 2024, Putin turned 72.

"Happy Birthday, Vlad!"

"Thank you, Donnie!"

"I've sent you a present, you should get it soon."

"Yeah? How did you send it?"

"It's a secret, Vlad. You'll know when you get it."

"Alright. Can you at least tell me what it is?"

"No, Vlad, I want it to be a total surprise. A tremendous surprise."

"You know what was a total surprise, Donnie?"

"No, Vlad, what?"

"That Bob Woodward knows we talk regularly. How does he know, Donnie?"

"Beats me, Vlad. I never told him."

"Ok, then, Donnie, bye!"

Trump: "Bye... So weird."

    And the saga goes on and on, I personally will be glad when the election is over. Great poem and it had me wondering until the end.

    Oh no! I mean, YES! Vlad is mad at him, lol. He also doesn't like birthdays. It's one year (or day) closer to kicking the bucket and giving up rule haha...
