Trump Plans July Meeting With Vladimir Putin

Source: Bloomberg

President Donald Trump is planning to meet with Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, during Trump’s visit to Europe next month, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Two possibilities for the meeting are either before the NATO summit in Brussels on July 11 or after Trump’s visit to Britain on July 13, one of the people said.

Both people asked for anonymity to discuss the plans, because they are not final.

The White House declined to comment on Wednesday evening.

Trump had two meetings with Putin last summer at the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.

The president has shown keen interest in restoring Putin’s place in the international community. At the G-7 summit in Quebec earlier this month, he proposed that Russia should be re-admitted to the Group of Eight countries, which was reduced to a Group of Seven following Putin’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.

You’ve done good Donald, keep it up. You’re getting closer to destabilizing America and dividing it. We will give you another extension on your loan.

Can't risk the slim chance that a Democrat gets even one vote.

November elections are fast approaching and spanky needs help from a dominant alpha male to save his bacon? Or, it could be a mea culpa, request for more cash or an extension on payment arrangements?

It is so obvious, spanky is a hollow, greedy, weak man sucking up to Putin. (pure speculation, putin gives great ass beatings to those who appreciate a spanking)

"I've fucked up the world economy, pissed off all our allies, made buddies with a murderous dictator -- although not as murderous as you, of course -- and pissed off the entire world by kidnapping babies and children and holding them hostage."

Not the details. But Putin will give assurances, Trump will clarify what he can do on his end to make sure the Russians have a clear path. It's the ONLY sure way for the intel agencies not to hear what they discuss.

We all know, (or should by now) that it isn't Trump who is calling the shots.

Putin has to meet with Trump to instruct him on picking up the pace of destroying our country.

Mueller's investigation is causing Putin to have to accelerate the plan.
