Why is the PutinTrump prom dance taking so long?

They have been in this meeting close to two hours...
Do you think that Trumpy's diarrhea of the mouth is taking up all the time or do you think that Putin's slideshow of kompromat videos on his cell phone is the reason why?
Thoughts?

He said when you need translators a meeting takes twice as long as it would otherwise. So it's actually been only one hour's worth of actual substance if you subtract the translation time, so it's not as unusual as it might appear.

He's choking on his own word salad- can you imagine trying to translate that crap? LOL.

must be longing for a big shot of vodka right about now. Translations are probably taking longer than usual because of Trump's incoherence.

He isn't, we don't want him, and I'm tired of being treated as acceptable collateral damage in the "anything goes" as an insult to Trump.

Using gay as an insult inherently treats being gay as bad.

I would say the same if Melanoma was meeting with Putin, so it's not a slur from me. I'm not your enemy. How do you know he isn't BI? I do apologize to you.

anything other than heterosexual. He is very publicly sexualy aggressive, yet all of the sexual conquests he has pubicly spoken of is female. Have you ever heard him talk about men the way he talks about women as sexual conquests?

Even if he identifies as bisexual (or gay), it is still inappropriate to use allegations of homosesuality (or same gender sexual activity) as an insult.

and other manly men doesn't rule that out for me. Believe me, I intend no disrespect either way, simple commentary. I've had this conversation with DonViejo when someone called Lindsey Graham "Miss Lindsey". Personally I think he is asexual but that's my opinion. I honestly understand your sensitivity and your comments are duly noted. Have a good weekend and bear with me.

I don't think anyone one here really thinks that Trumpy is gay, just obsessed with Putin in some weird stalkerish fanboy kind of way. That being said, you are right - using gay as an insult treats gay as being bad, which it is NOT.

His typical move is to keep people waiting until he's damn good and ready to meet.

If I were President and Vladdie tried that stunt on me and my diplomats, I'd have something up my sleeve to teach him a lesson in respect. I'd rather keep that move to myself.
