International Trump/Putin Summit

Mod note: Please refrain from derailing. Just stay on topic.

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Donald Trump met one-on-one with Vladimir Putin behind closed doors on Monday in a long-awaited summit overshadowed by the U.S. president blaming his own country’s past “foolishness and stupidity” for the two powers’ hostile ties.

Just days after a special prosecutor indicted 12 Russian agents for stealing documents from the Democratic Party to help Trump win the 2016 presidential election, Trump went into his talks with Putin without a word of criticism for Moscow.

Instead, he tweeted: “Our relationship with Russia has NEVER been worse thanks to many years of U.S. foolishness and stupidity and now, the Rigged Witch Hunt!”

What will come of this summit, and what can we learn from what was said?

Discuss all things summit and Trump/Putin related in here. Will add material as I find it.

Trump currently answering a question about Russian interference.

He is deflecting, and is refusing to condemn Putin. He's babbling about the DNC server.

Where is the server?

LOL, now he's talking about the e-mails and the aid convicted of bank fraud.

 

[Gregolian]

Doing this one on one is stupid as shit...

 

[HomerThompson]

Trump fellating Putin verbally now.

 

[zebby23]

Putin can play Trump anyway he wants. Trump has no idea what he is doing in this summit and there is a reason why Trump wants it to just be them 2 in the room.

 

[Gregolian]

The only person that should be talking with Putin is Mad Dog and he should be allowed to have DEVGRU with him when he does.

 

[abiG]

He should fire Rosenstein. Ahhhh, but politics. This charade is about to come undone.

 

[Fawlty]

It's surreal. We just indicted a dozen of his agents (one of whom was in regular contact with a rep of the Trump campaign), who were in effect acting on Putin's orders, to hack Trump's political opponent in part at Trump's public request. And that is a "rigged witch hunt." Oh, and there are people who choose to believe that.

 

[Diamond Jim]

Trump just stated he believes Putin over the U.S. intelligence community.

 

[HomerThompson]

Anyone remember this guy? Imran Aywan? He was a big deal here a few years ago with the trump supporters and ct crowd. Blaming him for being the real hacker or having to do with it. Proclaiming he was going to spend years in prison and whatever else. Well none of that happened.

Trump just brought this up again as part of a deflection when a reporter asked him whom he trusted, U.S. intelligence or Putin.

 

[zebby23]

191 charges against 32 people so far = witch hunt in Trumps world

 

[HomerThompson]

He should fire Rosenstein. Ahhhh, but politics. This charade is about to come undone.

 

[HomerThompson]

Now Trump is laying into Peter Strozk.

 

[Fawlty]

It's not metaphysically possible that Trump is speaking with a clear conscience here. This is a disaster for the United States. Lock him up.

If this isn't proof of a pee tape I don't know what is

What's your point? And what kinda a fucking question is that? If this was real, he'd trust neither. But we are in kayfabe and you people talk about this crap like my Kentucky friends talk about pro wrestling.

Trump and Putin are ultimately controlled by the same people. They are playing characters on a Broadway stage the size of our world.

 

[HomerThompson]

That was pathetic. And I say this as a far left loon, who hates our aggressive foreign policy.

Grow up.

You would have posted the exact same thing no matter what happened.

 

[HomerThompson]

Putin offered to let Mueller come to Russia and sit in on interrogation of the indicted GRU officers, if we let him come and interrogate U.S. intelligence officials.
