Trump Meets Putin Gets Performance Evaluation
Donald Trump will be traveling to Europe this weekend to meet with his supervisor Vladimir Putin to conduct his annual job performance review. The president has been extremely nervous and anxious this week. His erratic actions were originally attributed to a crushing defeat of Republicans in the mid-term elections or the Robert Mueller probe. Sources say that neither of those are a factor in Trump's behavior. "He's extremely worried about his performance review", said White House Spokesperson Kellyanne Conway, "he's used to being the one delivering the evaluation".
Trump is flying to Paris to meet with world leaders before taking part in Armistice Day centenary services on Remembrance Sunday. The US president is hoping to move past his midterm defeat and is counting on his use of doctored footage to support a decision to to revoke the press credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta to impress the Russian President. "This is how a real strong man acts", said Trump.
Trump is hoping for a good review with at least a rating of "exceeded some" when it comes to the goals that Putin had set for him in calendar year 2018. Some see his mid-term defeat at the polls as jeopardizing any chance at a good review from his Russian superior. "I hate these reviews", said Trump, "I'll be glad when it's all over". As for the Remembrance Day ceremony, Trump was not impressed. "When it comes to wars, WWI was really not a big deal, hardly worth calling it a World War", he said, "Now World War II, that's how you do it, you end it all with a big nuclear bang!"

Well, at least he didn't compare it to his own war on venereal diseases during the Vietnam War.

You make a great point, Putin endorsed Trump, because he embarrasses the USA

He's going to ask, and Putin will give him a tip--perhaps even the full six inches.

"When it comes to wars, WWI was really not a big deal, hardly worth calling it a World War", he said, "Now World War II, that's how you do it, you end it all with a big nuclear bang!"
Instead of these mythical Russian hackers, is it possible that crime-syndicate organizer Teflon Don Trump hired his own hacking team to steal the presidency?

But the Ku Klux Klan also endorsed Trump, as did real Nazis, who are US citizens.

Mr. Putin! I thought I did well in bluster, in intimidation, in corruption, fighting the free press and I just had a little trouble with fixing election results. You can count on me to have a great 2019! Do I get a raise?
