In case you were wondering if is really a , you can stop now. At the end of his interview with Russia dictator , Tucker made the following obsequious and gratuitous remark regarding the the publishing of the interview video:

"Western governments will certainly do their best to censor this video on other less principled platforms because that’s what they do."

It's like he's auditioning to be a host on Russian state TV.

The picture generator has an interesting feature: it seems to be flatly impossible to generate a picture with both and in which Trump is in any way subservient to or even equal to Putin.
