9. Well we now know at least one item that was discussed during the 2 hour private mtg

Just like when they met w/out witnesses in Europe at the sidelines of a dinner - and suddenly Trump - that night while flying home - came up with the baby magnistky act story./cover for the Don Jr coverup story for the July 2016 Trump Tower meeting.

Dude is so dense - Putin wouldn't even have to ask him to do anything - just cast the woe is me grievance session with sympathetic example - seeded by Putin about why should the US pay to protect Montenegro as Trump whines about his unfair treatment and media coverage of his performance atd the NATO meeting. Trump remembers and repeats excuses that may sound plausible and favor his 'story' - so of course he would repeat it.

The above is the most generous interpretation. All others get more malevolent on Trump's part (and thus may be more likely backstories)

12. Bet He Did Not Feel That Way After 9/11

I am betting and pretty certain that neither Tucker Carlson nor Donald Trump had a problem with foreign countries coming to the aid of, or being willing to come to the aid of the United States after 9/11. I am pretty certain Carlson and Trump do not feel any angry/sadness/uncertainty about the deaths of the many men and women from foreign countries who died in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting those wars. If Carlson and Trump do not have a problem with the children of foreign countries dying in wars that are supposedly being fought to protect America they should not have a problem with their sons fighting wars that are meant to protect foreign countries. However, lets get real, although Carlson and Trump love wars they would never let their sons fight and die in wars even if those wars were meant to defend the United States after a direct attack. What did the Trump boys doing after 9/11?

Remember how Trump dismissively PUSHED the Prime Minister of Montenegro out of his way?

I'll let all of you put the pieces together.

15. Your statement is exactly the reason drumpf has the office he does today.

* Putin wants to bring back the Soviet Union, and with Trump's help. Thats why all the dogging of NATO is going on, because Putin told him to do this so he can successfully invade and conquer all the countries he wants from Eastern Europe. drumpf gets ll the grifting and stealing opportunities by being president plus whatever else Putin's promised.
