Trump is "PAVING A PATH" with PUTIN! He "HASN'T QUITE GOT THERE!" There's "no deal until there's a deal" USA! USA! USA!

Trump, meanwhile, added, “We haven’t quite got there, but we’ve got some headway. There’s no deal until there’s a deal.”

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins noted after the meeting that it appeared the summit was not the outcome Trump had hoped.

"I flashed him a thumbs-up to signal, 'Did the meeting go well? What did you think?' He kind of looked at me and shrugged his shoulders, Jake [Tapper]. And offered a little bit of a half smile," she said.

"Clearly not the expectation that President Trump was hoping for when he came here," she concluded.

If she wants a chummy, cozy relationship with the people she reports on, she needs to move to E! or Entertainment Tonight.

A thumbs up and a shrug? Oh well I guess we can’t expect much more from our cowardly media.
