Russian TV makes fun of Trump. who had stand around and wait for Putin.............



#Russia's state TV revels in the idea that Trump arrived early & had to stand around waiting for Putin, along with Ivanka, Kushner, Bolton and Pompeo. To make fun of Trump, they show an Internet meme that depicts Trump welcoming Putin with Russian karavai on an embroidered towel.

The symbolism is interesting, I think.

Trump comes bearing a karavai. Funny, that, if you know.

Russians understand it at a cultural level. I'm explaining it because we don't. Here, we'd see Trump carrying a big wedding cake to get the same effect.

Because I see three turds in the picture.

It makes me wonder if trumpanzees would take offense if they were shown this picture. Probably not, but I wish they could see all the insults Russia heaps on glorious leader.

Hell. He made the Queen wait. Pushed his way to the front at that one meeting. And left Melania is his dust on Inauguration Day.

But can't keep his master waiting.

No puppet. No collusion. Except for all the times he acts like a puppet and colludes, right out in the open, via bullhorn.
