Trump's Two Hours Alone With Putin Still Rattling Washington

Donald Trump’s one-on-one meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin continues to unsettle lawmakers and foreign policy experts, who also gave the thumbs-down to a possible follow-up meeting at the White House.

“We need to know everything, and the president’s national security team needs to know everything” about the leaders’ two-hour meeting in Helsinki on July 16, Susan Rice, national security adviser to President Barack Obama, said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.

Rice said it was an “historic mistake” to allow Trump -- or any U.S. president -- to sit down with Putin without note-takers or aides present in the room. “We have no idea what transpired,” she said.

Nor does Trump for that matter

Start using this narrative, MSM. What they did fits the definition of "collusion" perfectly. Secret meeting, often to deceive.

This was not an attack on Hillary Clinton, the DNC, or liberals but an attack on the United
States of America by the Russian Military (GRU) under orders from Vlad Putin in order to
undermine our democracy, weaken the United States, weaken our allies, and to install
people who are loyal to Putin and Russia in our government.

As noted upthread this was not a meeting but collusion with an enemy of the American people.
Trump was then and for years before well aware of Russia's meddling into our democracy.

"Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election."

I would bet that 45 does not remember half of it himself. His brain does not work properly.

Putin had notes. 45 had no notes. 45 almost certainly does not know how to write a coherent sentence, so he could not take notes in the first place.

He's such an ass kisser to Putie, it's not even funny. When the two.of them walked in to the room and approached their podiums in Helsinki, Putie was smiling and hopped up and Spanky was grumpy and lumbering. He does not like being told what to do, but he is made to do by the kompromat, and that makes for inner turmoil, hence the look on his face. Gawd knows he could've agreed to joint military maneuvers with Russia and given them the state of Alaska just to make his Putie happy.
