I finally was able to turn on TV-msnbc is just saying there was a very low press conference-lasting all of 12 minutes. No questions taken--after the press traveled all the way to Alaska.



WOW: Even Fox News is admitting that the meeting with Putin went terribly for Trump “It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left.”

BREAKING: At the Alaska summit, there was no ceasefire. No deal. No multi-lateral next meeting. No details disclosed. No questions taken. Just a lot of compliments heaped on Putin.

What a weak President.

Explains to all of us just how awesome he was. We don’t have a deal yet, but it is an incredibly powerful no deal all because of trumps vision and leadership.

It did fuck up the CBS Evening News tonight. Missed On the Road with Steve Hartman. Switched over to the Little League World Series. Those Kids were dealing.

The invasion was February of 2022. I'm not dragging you, just saying that the regime is full of crap. Nothing happened, just as we all thought. Another distraction from the Epstein files, plus Putin got fluffed by the Fascist Felon. TRUMP IS A LOSER.

even the programs that used to gush over him are now talking about how weak and ineffective he is. He should have run to russia for asylum when he had the chance. Now, he's screwed that over just like living here in the US peacefully. The man will never have a peaceful day for the rest of his life (short, may it be!).

Trump is DEPARTING ALASKA WITH NO AGREEMENT ANNOUNCED.

I can't help but think what a disappointment this summit was. Sad for the people of Ukraine.

Trump sees Putin as his hero, idol and mentor. Of course he was going to kiss the ring. He likes to think he is strong and powerful, but he is a weak, spineless, pathetic failure

Played again by Putin 🙄. When will he learn that Putin is the enemy. Never, I suppose, because he is just that stupid. Hey trumpy, I thought you said you would end the Ukraine war, day one if you became president again. Guess no peace prize for you!

Putin desperate for money.
Trump desperate to destroy the evidence.

Not sure how you package billions in cash. Bitcoin won't do because it's on a public blockchain.

If so, it would be the greatest money laundering job in history. (Trump held the previous record, IMO)

Explains the meeting on U.S. soil, with diplomatic protection and secrecy, military escorts.

DOGE got into government computer systems and planted trojan software, IMO.

U.S. Treasury Trump's personal piggy bank. Enough billions to buy the videos.
