Ian Bremmer: Trump, Putin held second informal meeting at G-20

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.

The meeting took place during the G-20 heads of state dinner, according to Bremmer, hours after Trump's formal bilateral sit-down with Putin.

In that conversation, Trump spoke with the Russian leader for roughly an hour, joined only by Putin's translator. The meeting had previously gone without mention by the White House.

That Trump was not joined in the conversation by his own translator is a breach of national security protocol, Bremmer noted, though one that the president likely would not know about.

You don't have to have a PhD in psychology or political science to recognize it.

5. What an idiot!

He goes into a meeting with Putin without a translator and then has no clue what Putin and the translator are talking about to each other. And no one around Trump pointed out how stupid this was.

[SergeStorms]

14. I sincerely doubt,

Trump TOLD anyone! This was a "secret" meeting with his buddy Putin. I believe that's against the law. A President NEVER puts himself in a position like that. NEVER!

[jmowreader]

6. There's a term for Trump's "second informal meeting"

Trump and Putin were getting their story straight.

10. Every single this guy does is a disaster and a crime.

[watoos]

11. I have a question

was it just coincidence that Putin had an English interpreter handy for an impromptu meeting? I thought this was a leader/spouse dinner? Did Putin bring his English interpreter as his guest?

[SergeStorms]

13. There were three people present.

Asshole, Russian Asshole, and a Kremlin provided Asshole interpreter. NO AMERICAN OFFICIALS WERE PRESENT, and I believe that is a crime, in and of itself.

[JI7]

15. i think they were all allowed to bring one interpreter

[SergeStorms]

12. That treasonous bastard!

WHEN are Republicans going to WAKE UP and realize we have a madman in the White House?

This borders on high treason, and in the old days Trump would be drawn and quartered!

NO OFFICIAL RECORD OF THIS MEETING, OR WHAT WHAT SAID AT THE MEETING EXISTS ANYWHERE!

There's no telling what he gave, or is going to give, Putin.

COME ON GOP, WAKE THE HELL UP!
