    He said this to counter the russian lies (that Trump and Musk are parroting) that he’s in effect a dictator because he hasn’t “allowed” elections.

      How does it do that?

      How are they Russian lies if Trump and Musk are saying them? Is this a case of Americans always blaming their own bad behaviour on foreigners?

        Not saying, parroting. Repeating. Aping. Copying. Echoing. Miming. Seconding. Spitting imaging.
