What could Putin have said to Trump that brought him back before the press with that totally uncharacteristic beaten-down look?
Was Putin telling him to do something Trump didn't want to do? Not likely -- Trump has no barriers in that regard.
Was Putin threatening him in some dastardly way? -- I don't think he has to threaten Trump to get cooperation.
Was Putin spanking him for his performance to date? -- Not damaging enough to U.S.?
What could it have been?
