Lewandowski: Trump's Putin meeting really just a conversation with first lady

BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 07/20/17 12:33 PM EDT

President Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski this week downplayed the president's second, previously undisclosed meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Group of 20 summit by saying it was really just a conversation with the first lady.

“Our best representative, who is stunningly beautiful and incredibly intelligent, sat next to Vladimir Putin at the request of the German chancellor," Lewandowski said on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday. First lady Melania Trump was seated next to the Russian leader at the dinner.

"She had a conversation with Vladimir Putin. He was her dinner partner for a few hours, big deal,” Lewandowski said. “(Trump) got up and walked over and he saw his beautiful wife, the first lady of the United States, and he had a conversation with her," Lewandowski went on.

"How is this anything other than the president of the United States going over and seeing a first lady, who by the way speaks five languages, is incredibly beautiful, is incredibly intelligent, and is a great representative of our country,” he continued.

to understand anything other than "remove sanctions"

He really is very very dumb. Did not spend a single day in school, taking courses or tests, paid someone to do that.
