Trump in a big rush to meet with Putin?

Why?

Do we really have to ask?

He wants to create a huge distraction with his Supreme Court pick just before he leaves to meet with Vladimir.

He also wants to meet "one on one" with the Russian dictator.

Also, he has changed his mind about bringing up the subject of "Russian meddling" in our elections. "Meddling" is such a tame word for cyber attack.

What is Trump looking for from Putin, other than directions? Everything he has done since he has been in office has been for the benefit of Russia, not America.

Perhaps he can work out a deal to give Alaska back to Russia?

More likely, they will discuss how to bring up the price of oil on the world market so Trump can make more money from his "oil deal" that Carter Page worked on. With Trump, it is always about how to make more money. Putin knows that.

He can proudly announce that the frogs are starting to float to the top of the pot.

Those things will elude him, but can be spun by friendly media to portray him as somehow able to do his job.

Putin could just give him his orders over the phone.
