Vladimir Putin Played Donald Trump Like A Fiddle On Phone Call

Fiona Hill, a former senior National Security Council official and expert on European and Russian affairs, said during his first term Trump was unprepared for meetings with Putin, focussing on the personal relations rather than diplomatic strategy. 

“The very first time I was in one of the phone calls with Putin, I was listening very carefully to the Russian, because the interpreters don’t always capture everything, they don’t capture the nuances, particularly when it’s the Russian interpreter who’s translating into a language that’s also not their native language, all kinds of things are missing,” she remembered.

Trump described the exchange as “great,” she said. But Hill didn't agree.

“There was all kinds of menace in what Putin had said, he chooses his words very carefully,” she explained.

“Many times when Putin and Trump are interacting, Putin’s actually making fun of him,” she continued. “It’s just it’s completely lost in the translation. I can give lots of episodes of this, or he’s goading him and urging him on to something, because he’s trying to see how he’ll react and the translation smooths over all that. That context is absolutely missing. And he doesn’t do a readout afterwards.”

This can't be the same Fiona Hill from the Russia collusion hoax fiasco that destroyed democracy, forever wrecked the impeachment process and exposed democrats as lying clowns? Surely?🤣

Looks like she's aging in dog years.

What? Trump didn't talk to Putin at all?

It’s not that Trump doesn’t get it through the nuances of the Russian language or the translation ain’t right, more that he is as thick as pig’s S and is easily played. Putin is all over this idiot like a cheap suit.

Didn't Trump University have Russian language courses ?
