Trump's body language at presser with Putin.

[kentuck]

He refused to make eye contact with Putin. He looked very worried about something? His mind was pre-occupied with "something"? It must have been something they discussed in private?

Even as they stepped to the podium, he looked like a whipped puppy. Putin was torturing him and it showed. Trump went out of his way to heap praise on the dictator. At the same time, he was denigrating his own country and his own intelligence services?

So, today, just to show how much respect he has for his base, he said he made a "mistake". He should have used a contraction in one sentence. He must think they are a bunch of dumbasses?

3. Another DUer posted a toad pic yesterday to show how close Trump's frown

looked like the toad's mouth.

7. Something was wrong

I’m not sure what, but even for Trump’s assholery, something felt amazingly off.

As you said, he looked kind of whipped. Like he knew he was on the losing side.

What the fuck was that about?

8. He didn't like

the marching orders he was given.

9. I saw a pic of him next to Putin,

who looked like you would expect, while Trump had this confused, deer-in-the-headlights expression.

10. Ignore the Con when you watch it again

Focus on Putin's legs.
Stunning how he celebrated.

[Delphinus]

14. Now I'm

going to have to find a clip, mute it, and watch.

[malaise]

16. It is amazing to watch

[Corgigal]

11. He hates it.

All of it, but his own behavior did him in because he's such a failed businessman. He doesn't want to do this White House gig, never did. Owned by a Russian.

12. I think he was in a state of shock.

I think the Best-Negotiator-of-all-Time had his ass handed to him (maybe for the first time?) by someone who wasn't impressed by his bluster, his threats, his intimidation, or his so-called "reputation."

13. He was scared. You saw a wannabe autocrat scared shitless.

One of the reasons they didn't allow Americans in their 2+ hour meeting was to have no record of Putin's threats to Trump if he didn't deliver on whatever Putin wants.
