Trump’s main New York surrogate, Carl Paladino, decided to show his derriere Saturday on MSNBC’s AM Joy. His defense of Trump against security experts who question The Donald’s love affair with pal Vladimir Putin was rubber room material.

Paladino has learned well from Comrade Trump and went on the offensive. He showed little respect for Gen. Barry McCaffrey, a security expert and 3-time Purple Heart winner, who questioned Trump’s stance on NATO and Europe, which last time we checked were U.S. allies.

The show’s host, Joy Reid, didn’t let Paladino get away it. Here’s a link to the entire segment. It’s well worth your time.

One more thing — Mr. Paladino, if you don’t mind, please send me a small baggie of whatever you were smoking before you went on the show. That has to be some really good shit.
