***Post meeting presser thread***

[nolabear]

So far Putin is dripping syrup about what neighbors we are. I could barf and 47 hasn’t done anything but mug.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Piece of shit is committing treason right now we must do something drastic

Again I don’t know what that is, but there are nonviolent measures that can be taken, actions that can be taken, that are much more assertive than what we are doing now.

We can’t arrest him because we no longer have a department of justice or FBI, so we better think of something and it better be good and quick

[nolabear]

3. It makes my skin crawl.

But so far it sounds very wishy-washy. Oh goody. Spanky’s up. So far by tone I suspect nothing is happening.

[mcar]

25. Even Fox can't put lipstick on this pig

This is an awful look for the thing in the WH. Putin got exactly what he wanted from this mess. Thing got nothing.

[nolabear]

2. Now lauding how great trade can be

What? Now we’re buddies? Get to it. Is anything happening?

[JCMach1]

4. Pretty clear was a failure... No progress

[Bev54]

21. Oh there was progress alright, on US trade with Russia, probably sold all sorts of things to Putin.

Or gave them away or maybe the US is paying Russia to take minerals etc. You never know what this moron has done now.

[Mossfern]

5. Trump:

Russia Russia Russia hoax

This is a nothingburger.....
A failed episode of The Apprentice

[SheltieLover]

6. Vomit inducing, by the sounds of it.

Should NEVER have been allowed on American soil, much less at a military base.

[cliffside]

7. Putin is playing trump like a fiddle and trump hardly said anything in the end ...

except that he likes the guy, trump spoke for maybe 2 minutes while Putin spoke quite a bit longer.

[senseandsensibility]

8. No details and no questions from the press

Total BS in my opinion.

[DET]

9. WTF Was That?

Absolutely no information conveyed in that presser, which didn’t take questions.

[nolabear]

12. I wonder if Spanky has Russian ass on his breath

That was just pathetic.

[Emile]

16. He even said RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA lol 😆

[DET]

22. Yes, Yes He Did

Like a ten year old child. So embarrassing. That stupid phrase drives me crazy.

[madamesilverspurs]

10. Well, he did it again.

Cameras focused on two empty podiums for long breathless minutes waiting and waiting. And during all that time there was no looking at Epstein. Pavlovian trick he learned to exploit in his '16 campaign. We were played. Again.


.

[GoodRaisin]

11. No questions because he's afraid he'll be asked about Epstein.

And of course he achieved nothing.

[nolabear]

13. Jesus, that was pathetic. You could tell from the outset

that absolutely nothing was achieved. Bupkis. De nada. Zerosky.

14. "Donald Trump left more questions than answers as he fawned over Vladimir Putin "

That was quick. Donald Trump left more questions than answers as he fawned over Vladimir Putin but gave precious few details about their high stakes summit.

“I believe we had a very productive meeting,” he said. “There were many, many points that we agreed on... There’s no deal until there’s a deal. I will call up Nato... I’ll of course call up President Zelenskyy and tell him about today’s meeting... We really made some great progress.”

He added: “I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with President Putin – with Vladimir... We were interfered with by the ‘Russia Russia Russia’ hoax.”

Trump warmly thanked Putin, who invited him to Moscow, and dozens of reporters shouted questions but in vain. The US president, who can typically never resist talking and talking, left the stage without answering any of them.

He loves him as much as he loves Kim. He was careful to use his first name after the official "President Putin".

[Emile]

15. CBS reported that it was a big NOTHING BURGER.

[haele]

17. Except whatever he gave away.

I'm concerned about what he might have given away in Alaska. Putin needs to shore up his grip on the Arctic.

[Emile]

18. If we could only follow the money 💰

[usonian]

19. "We made great progress. I will tell you all after I'm re-elected"

Meanwhile,

[nolabear]

20. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

*yoink!*

[allegorical oracle]

23. That wasn't a meeting, it was a concept of a meeting. Left me with a question:

How many contracts for new Trump buildings in Moscow got signed?

[Johonny]

24. The meeting clarified that Putin has the Epstein files and Trump is a corrupt man

who Putin has by the balls. Because only fucking idiots would think a deeply corrupt man would make a good president.

[Deuxcents]

26. Why couldn't this be done over zoom or whatever they use for international conferences..

Instead we got a big fanfare, a big expense and a big fat black eye for the world to witness
