 Great to see him not being fazed by the haters, and that he can keep a constructive relationship with Putin. This is vital for world peace, particularly after the abject chaos previous admins in the US have wrought in the ME. I note the Syrian situation has been calmed almost 100% thanks to DT and VP, and even the NK issue has calmed significantly. Well done guys, the silent majority appreciates your efforts and restraint.

The Syrian situation has calmed down? Really? Where exactly where do you get your news from? It's pretty clear that whatever the source is, it's not located on Planet Earth.

He had to check for new orders.

Per the Rachel Maddow show today, this was the 8th time that Trump and Russia have had meetings, and the American media only found out about it from watching Russian news. Meaning the U.S. government... for whatever reason... is not announcing any of these communications. The American media got the news from the Russian media before the U.S. even acknowledged it. Why is that?

>>> Same reason Trump invited Russian agents in to the Oval Office, told them about highly sensitive intel re; a spy in the M.East, trash-talked head of FBI Comey, ....and only allowed TASS on the scene, ...wouldn't allow any US journalists.

\

>>> Same reason why Trump is incapable of saying anything disparaging about Putin or Russians, but trash-talks Obama and other true patriots.

 

>>> Same reason Trump refuses any sanctions on Russia (for interfering with US elections, which all intel agencies and everyone else acknowledge happened) - even tho both parties in Congress unanimously advocated sanctions.

 

Trump is so far up Putin's butt, only the soles of his shoes are visible.

 

Jesus you people are obsessed with Trump-Hating. Some even to the point of disrespecting his wife in your sick fantasies.  Talk about WAY off topic.
