After spending two and a half hours speaking to President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin had dinner seated beside the American leader's wife, Melania.

The Trumps both met Putin for the first time on Friday, as the world's top leaders gathered in Hamburg, Germany at the G20.

... but the family is never included in any public/political activity.
Not sure why that is, but I guess he's very private about the family.
Also wants to prevent possible kidnappings, terrorist attacks, etc.

But I'm sure they're deadly.

Get a load of the rock on Melodrama's ring finger! I wonder if she always wears it or just hauls it when her meal ticket wants to impress someone.

When she dumps him, she can probably live for awhile by selling it... Or will she have to turn it in when Trump's assets are seized?

for money. My hope is that once all his assets are seized, there will be no money left, then she will realize what a waste of her time this has been. For the time being, she can bask in the attention of being the world's most photographed former nude model. Guess THAT career did not make her rich, either. Putin is looking at her as though he knows EVERYTHING there is to know about her. I wonder how much she charged, back in the day?

was a high ranking member of the Communist party back home. He now splits his time between tRump Tower and Mar-A-Lago, with his wife. I hope the FBI tapped their phones, too. How did they get visas? Does he run the Russian mob gambling parties at the Tower?

I think that's a translator standing behind them. But its possible they were seated next to each other for the sake of dinner conversation.
