http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/07/donald-trump-had-a-very-very-private-meeting-with-vladimir-putin/Um, what?
President Trump held a second, informal meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg earlier this month, according to Ian Bremmer, the president of the international consulting firm Eurasia Group .Trump spoke with the Russian leader for roughly an hour, joined only by Putins translator. The meeting had previously gone without mention by the White House.
Two things. First, if Trump were really a decent negotiator, he would have insisted on not even having Putins translator present. Putin speaks perfectly good English.
Second, what the fuckety fuck fuck? A meeting with only Rex Tillerson present wasnt enough? Trump had to have another meeting with literally no other American in the room? What does he have to say to Putin that hes afraid of anyone hearing him say?
