What's with the president of the United States clapping at Putin like a teenage groupie?

[bigtree]

...and why does the dictator who is killing our ally's civilians daily get a fucking red carpet and a stage in the United States?

He's not a foreign dignitary, he's the goddamn ENEMY of this country, and here's this smirking traitor acting like his daddy just came to visit him?

watch:

[Harker]

1. I'm surprised Trumpsky shook Putin's hand, rather than licked it.

[Red Mountain]

4. A lick and a curtsy

would have been appropriate

[bigtree]

5. he likes it when Putin does that thing with his little finger inside the handshake

...lightly tickling Donald's fleshy palm.

[spanone]

2. It's all a television show for the felon.

[bagimin]

3. Who's the bigger dick-

tator?

[reACTIONary]

41. one of 'em's a tator-tot

[eppur_se_muova]

6. Well, he is a developmentally stunted groupie ... but more at the toddler stage. nt

[StarryNite]

7. I'm surprised they weren't holding hands

while they were walking. Trump just can't fawn over him enough.

[OMGWTF]

30. There are photos of GeeDumbya Bush holding hands with a Saudi prince.

[sheshe2]

8. Trump:

"Look mommy, look mommy, Daddys home, Daddys home, Daaaaddee is home! I am so excited I think I am gonna pee my pants mommy! I do some peeee peee in my pants mommeee, I so very excited. Bet he brought me some toys, mommy, I bet he brought me some really really really neat toys mommeee, like guns and tanks and things that go boom boom boom! Daaaadee is home for Donneeee! I clap I clap I clap for Daaaaddeeeee!"

[Grim Chieftain]

9. And the red carpet!

Yet this lump of orange pile of poop called our war dead suckers and losers.

[Botany]

21. And that Russian murderer and international criminal was paying the Taliban in Afghanistan 100 k for every American ...

… Military Member they killed. Putin has also kidnapped something like 20 to 80 thousand Ukrainian children to
try to make up for all the dead Russians in Ukraine, those that have fled Russia, or have died young in Russia because
because of the conditions there. And he gets the red carpet treatment? He is our enemy.

[doc03]

26. It looks pink on my screen. nt

[twodogsbarking]

[NJCher]

Just such a difference.

[twodogsbarking]

38. Barry looked scary.

[NJCher]

39. I wouldn't want to mess with Barry!

I've heard Obama staff members talk about what it was like to work with/for him. The gist was you always had to be on your feet because he was so sharp.

Another thing that was kind of interesting was that Obama might ask a staff member what they thought about a certain issue. Imagine how scary that would be. Personally, I think it was a way for Obama to make sure his staff members were on top of issues.

IMHO, Putin doesn't fool Obama, who knows exactly who/what he is.
Trump gratuitously acts like he's his host, leading the way, granting him the right of the way before he goes. He pats him on the back, leans his head forward to try to meet the gaze of the little man, etc. Those are all moves that shows he'd like to dominate in that relationship but that he's acutely aware that he doesn't.

11. According to nbc.com, the summit is beginning on a "friendly note"

Nice sanewashing there, nbc.

[NJCher]

31. ABC, too

especially Martha Radditz. Bleh.

[Blue Owl]

12. His Vladdy issues really flare up at these meetings

[Captain Zero]

13. Trump Should just keep his scumbag predator ass in Alaska

so he can see Russia every day from his window.

[leftstreet]

14. At least Putin knows how to dress

Trump looks like he's on his way to sell a customer a really shitty used car

[NJCher]

33. that, or

siding salesman.

Also did you catch the mugging trump was engaging in while Putin was speaking? The thumbs up bullshit, pointing, etc. It's all about him, always, all about him.

Also he said before the meeting that if it didn't go well he "wouldn't be happy." Like who gives a ratz ass whether he's happy or not? Again, always about him.

[senseandsensibility]

15. Ari cut off the clapping like a trained seal part

and showed the above video starting with the handshake. Disappointing. Not even MSNBC wants to present a true picture of what is happening.

[Blue Ozarks]

16. It's foreplay

before the blowjob he’ll deliver during negotiations

[Skittles]

17. think of how many deaths both these assholes are responsible for

[popsdenver]

18. they had to figure out a place

to meet, where Putin wouldn't be arrested by the Country for International War Crimes...........

[BurnDoubt]

19. DEPLORABLE!!!!!

[BoRaGard]

20. For a sex criminal, he is such a subbie

[markodochartaigh]

22. My internet is slow, the pictures didn't load.

Are those pictures of Neville Chamberlain?

[MacKasey]

23. Tfg is always clapping, he is clapping for himself

I noticed back in 2015, why is he always clapping

I think so he will get people to clap and then he thinks they're clapping for him

[Godot51]

24. I'm your fan...

[Botany]

25. That was disgusting.

Putin out walking his dog.

[Javaman]

27. "He still love. Me! If I clap hard enough he'll be my bestie again!"

The orange asshole is no better than that halfwit in Belorussia it the moron in hungry

[republianmushroom]

28. The puppet clapping for his master.

[B.See]

32. "It's a disgrace."

[Beck23]

34. Settlement in Ukraine?

This sounds like Putin thinks Ukraine is part of Russia.

[markodochartaigh]

37. About that...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_world

[Hornedfrog2000]

35. Settlements have really been working out

Under republican leadership. Can they expect it to go as well as the middle east?

[MorbidButterflyTat]

36. To me

they look like a couple of puffy, chubby, out of shape ugly old men. 🤮🤮

[Brainfodder]

40. Going with TREASON for 200 Alex!

What is dementia patient zero making a big mistake?

What is a pedophile giving a middle finger to his country?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

42. Our service men should not be on their hands and knees rolling out red carpets for war criminals
