Why would he bring that subject up at all? Would he have brought it up if talking about any other leader in the world?
Was it a way to tell Donald Trump that we have videos of the hookers in your hotel room?
From the way Donald Trump has acted, that could very well be the case. It's embarrassingly unthinkable, but very possible.
It was not a comment, made in passing, without purpose, in my opinion.

(45,003 posts)Putin first said it as he handed Trump the key to the Presidential Suite of the Moscow Ritz.
Second time, it was blackmail.

(7,947 posts)It was certainly significant that Trump told this story about Putin bragging about Russian prostitutes. But he said it was in a phone call from Putin. It probably wasn't-- he's, uh, misremembering a joint Putin press conference with the Moldovian PM-- just before inauguration-
"He also suggested Mr Trump would not have fallen for a honey trap if one had been laid, asking: "He arrived here and immediately ran off to meet Moscow prostitutes?"
"This is an adult and, moreover, a man who for many years has organised beauty contests. He socialised with the most beautiful women in the world. I can hardly imagine he rushed to the hotel to meet our girls of lower social responsibility -even though they are the best in the world, of course."
Trump was probably- in his eagerness to brag to the straight-arrow Comey about prostitutes, good grief-- taking that news account (which would have been a little before the supposed "call" and making it sound like it was a conversation with Putin.
But what really comes out is that Trump's first meeting with the FBI chief, all he wanted to talk about was prostitution. He's the tritest, sleaziest little man-dick.
