Trump’s Own Team: He ‘Looked Incredibly Weak’ Next to Putin



“I honestly had little to no good expectations for this,” said a senior Trump political appointee who works on issues surrounding Russian disinformation efforts, adding that the event “went about as well as I expected.”

“Trump looked incredibly weak up there. Putin looks like a champion,” the official continued. “I’d like to say I’m shocked, but this is the world in which we live now.”

1. Who do you think leaked those comments?

2. Maybe it was the camera angle, or my old eyes, but was Trump's podium a couple inches lower than

Putin's? I know optics mean a lot, the taller chair, podium etc. Indicates who is in charge. Very telling.

4. Good catch. Could be camera angle, but strange just the same. nt

6. Heights look the same. Putin does not have the need to appear taller.

BTW, one stands on the podium upon which is placed the lecturn, where one can place papers or books.

3. Trump is broke,

he's worried he may call in the chips. Nothing more.

He's fears not appearing rich, then being an American.

5. His "team" needs to quit tonight

Get out now.
