1. What often happens is that there are two translators - one for each person.

The American translator would translate Russian into English and the Russian translator would translate English into Russian. Usually interpreters translate the foreign language into their own language to get the syntax right, but since nothing Trump does is normal, who knows how this will be handled?

NOBODY outside of the kleptocracy thinks this is a good idea.

Why are his supporters such fools!

8. And Spanky was probably perfectly satisfied with that, although it's not the usual procedure.

But the Russian translator won't ever dare tell what he heard lest he be served a cup of polonium tea, and whatever he translates into English will have Putin's desired spin. Putin does speak and understand English so he'll know how that went.

This is the 2nd time that republican casino hustler Dirty Donny* will meet in super secret with putin, with only putin's translator.

The republican treason against America fairly reeks from the #HelsinkiStinky
