What is Donald Trump talking to Vladimir Putin about for an hour and a half?

[kentuck]

Is he just practicing his responses for his later Coronavirus briefings?

Why is he so concerned about Russia's oil production? He seems to be more concerned about that than Americans dying?

Did he make a Russian oil deal with Vladimir Putin? It was reported upon for a time when the FBI was investigating Carter Page. That was what led to the FISA warrants that the Judges approved.

He has talked with Putin for 2 days in a row. What could be so important? Just two close friends having a chit-chat?

2. I would hope that our Intelligence agencies

are somehow monitoring his calls. Who is protecting us from him. It saddens me that so many simply fall into line. Guess we are not as great as we thought we were.

3. He's talked to Putin a lot recently

I don't know if it's more than usual but he's mentioned it at several pressers.
Spaced out over days so I don't think he's referencing the same conversation.

I didn't tune in today. I'm speaking of pressers over the last two weeks. He's mentioned it at least 3 times by my memory.

8. Taking orders.

Begging him to fix the election again. Asking for an extension on his loan. The usual stuff.

9. Or he could be lying

It’s not like he normally tells the truth.

10. With so many incurious and incompetent Senators...

They could be discussing how much of the stimulus/bailout Putin is going to get?

They don't seem to even be curious about it? One can only assume that they are in on it.

11. Performance review from the boss?

Or, yeah, it could be about oil:
tRump: "Hey, Boss, that Rosneft stock you gave me in 2016 isn't making so much money lately. What you say we tweak production a little, and see if we can juice up profits?"
Vlad: "Da, ve culd do zat--you tink it'll vork?"
tRump: "Sure, Boss, that's how MBS and I have done it before...."

14. Waiting while Putin was signing stimulus checks.

I'm sure Putin has to explain things a few times.
