We have no idea what Trump actually said to his Russian visitors.

U.S. media was not allowed to be present at the meeting. Let that sink in. Trump held a meeting with representatives from Russia and blocked any U.S. journalists from being present.

Russian media - which is wholly controlled by their dictator, Putin - was allowed to record the entire meeting.

And, Trump revealed highly classified intelligence -shared with the U.S. by an ally - about a war in which Russia and the U.S. are on opposing sides. And the only reason we know this is the little bit of information that Trump himself revealed to us, and the little bit of info leaked by somebody else in the meeting.

But we really have no idea what was actually said in that meeting. The Russians do. They recorded it.

This should be a big, loud message to any idiot who still thinks that 45 is the right person to be President.
