I Feel That Trump's Statement At The Start Of The Press Conference.....

today following this summit was written well in advance of his meeting with Putin.

Putin and Trump went on for 2 hours - but really didn't talk about what they said they did in the news conference.

They strategized as to what their next moves will be. Putin making sure he continued to put pressure on Trump to cooperate with him - lest he releases the Kompromat he has against him.

just about anytime they want, maybe not physically in the same room, but I'm sure they can talk privately.

that's about right. What a shameful disgrace.
Time to find every American Agent/Soldiers family that was killed as a result of the Cold War, Korea and Vietnam, and Syria, and ask them if they give permission for trum to act like their sacrifice didn't matter. If all those families say it's ok...then that's a start to what dt did today being ok. Sounds like soldiers and Intelligence Agencies better knock off 'the soldiers come first in honor' rhetoric...if the commander in chief and every general currently serving, continues to act like this wholesale sell-out is ok. ALLLL bc of money for one family, and some embarrassing pictures, videos, or facts that putin has on the same family...BECAUSE THEY DID BAD SHIT AND MADE ENOUGH BAD DECISIONS for them even to HAVE the kompromat on them. They made bad choices...got caught...and now American Policy since 1945 is all out the window. PS....We paid for ALL that shit by having our paychecks garnered for taxes. The government just doesn't print off money they use to take care of everything. AND we pay the salaries of sniveling cheaters like ryan and mconnel to this day. They aren't volunteering. SOOOO angry today.
dt thinks bc he "won" that he has title to America. That he can do whatever he wants and spend whatever he wants. he thinks the president (esp him) OWNS the right to everything American and has an open checkbook to do the same bc fox news will tell people so.
Just bc fox news has a VERSION of their truth and a posse of people paid enough to lie everyday, doesn't make it reality.

but have there been any modern Presidents meeting with foreign leaders in secret like this? I feel like I can't quite remember anything like this.
