I am of the belief that the arrangement was made with specificity some time ago and that Trump knows exactly what Putin has on him, as well as what is expected of him. I am also of the belief that the two factions communicate quite regularly already.

The pants off Trump. I think a spell of respect, friendship and comradery could lead Trump to outwardly form an alliance with Russia. Trump is too easy and Putin is too cunning.
I'm scared about tomorrow's meeting. Jeez, remember Saudi Arabia? 😐

between the factions but I'm not sure if it is direct. They may avoid direct electronic communication out of concern the NSA or some other intelligence agency may be listening and just have personal meetings between their own people. Trump may have not directly dealt with Putin for some time. I have idea what will go down, but I know Putin wants to use Trump, Putin is much smarter than him and almost certainly has dirt on him. Whatever happens, it isn't going to be good for us and others Putin wants to use.

the beginning of his last one of these get togethers? I felt so bad for her, but now I can realize
she knows WHAT SHE IS DOING....

but this is the SAME WAY he handled Putin....Putin could do it without a grin on his face, but
Dump kept wanting to smile in some sort of way....I felt like he knew he was the other half, just
waiting to get away from the cameras to go and talk about what ever they talk about.

Something is not right with those two...and it's giving me the willies...
