That Wapo story is nuts!

In one of his first calls with a head of state, President Trump fawned over Russian President Vladimir Putin, telling the man who ordered interference in America’s 2016 election that he was a great leader and apologizing profusely for not calling him sooner.

He pledged to Saudi officials in another call that he would help the monarchy enter the elite Group of Seven, an alliance of the world’s leading democratic economies.

He promised the president of Peru that he would deliver to his country a C-130 military cargo plane overnight, a logistical nightmare that set off a herculean scramble in the West Wing and Pentagon.

And in a later call with Putin, Trump asked the former KGB officer for his guidance in forging a friendship with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un — a fellow authoritarian hostile to the United States.

Everyone piles on after Donald Trump tweets a quote from an apparently made-up person named “Richard Ketay”

Who is Richard Ketay? That’s the question everyone is left asking tonight, after Donald Trump tweeted a lengthy quote that sounded exactly like something Donald Trump would say, and then attributed it to a person no one has ever heard of – and we’re not even sure if the person really exists.

Here’s the Trump-like quote in question: “It isn’t often I get angry at the dirty politics of the Democrats in Congress, but this time I am enraged and hope this impeachment charade will backfire on Reps. Pelosi & Schiff, & the Democrats. I have read thoroughly the telephone conversation between Trump & the President of Ukraine, and cannot find any reason to charge the President with high crimes & misdemeanors. This is just a phony Witch Hunt, perpetuated by Democrats to get rid of Trump because they cannot beat him in a fair election.” It sounds like something Trump wrote himself and just attributed to a fake person, right? Actually, it may be precisely that.

We’re really confused about who this person is supposed to be. We searched Google to try to find out who “Richard Ketay” is, but the first page of results consists entirely of random anonymous people. We also did a real time search on Twitter, but all of the results were merely people asking who Richard Ketay is.

It’s not clear if “Richard Ketay” is such a grotesque misspelling of a political pundit’s name that no one can figure out what name Trump was trying to say, or if Trump is quoting some random person who has zero political profile (not even a Twitter account), or if Trump simply made up the quote and attributed it to a fake person. Richard Ketay, if you’re listening, please let us know who you are.
