Of course you're going in with "low" expectations, Don Boy; you'll be on your knees for most of the meeting.

[Scarsdale]

1. This means that either

the pee-pee tape will NOT be turned over to him, or the tRump Tower in Moscow is not happening after all. Maybe his payoff will be much smaller than he expected previously?

[rpannier]

2. President Trump says he has 'low expectations'

And he won't even meet that bar

[duforsure]

3. Just like us

The American people have low expectations he'll tell the truth about anything that happened between him and putin too. He'll NK it again claiming things that are nothing but more fabricated lies . He's so arrogant he's conspiring taking orders from putin almost in the open now.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. He will tell us

he emerged with the greatest trade agreement in the history of mankind

He traded the rest of America that he hasn't plundered already to Putin for natural gas and borscht

[relogic]

5. Then don't waste our time and money there

There’s also the stupidity of telegraphing your negotionating intentions and thus sabotaging any hopes of resolution. Can there be any more intensional, inept and traitorous behavior from a Rpresident and foreign department?

[BlueMTexpat]

6. Exactly. eom

[HopeAgain]

7. Has Trump said anything like that

before he did anything, or met with anybody, before? Just his behavior proves so much.

[yallerdawg]

8. Ohhh, he's setting us up.

It has already been reported Putin is going to give him a substantial "win."

The Dotard is lowering OUR expectations to teach us a lesson.

I have no idea why the M$M is falling for this bullshit, but STAY TUNED.

This is just the next episode of this scripted "reality" series - it's all cheap-ass theatrics by a pond-scum TV celebrity who thinks his audience is a bunch of dumbasses.

[tavernier]

9. My first thought.

[dalton99a]

10. Yep.

[joshcryer]

18. Yeah, downplays Germany's gas needs.

Which Germany is using for peaking power to build out its renewable energy. Germany was never going to be forever dependent on Russia for power, it plans to use gas for peaking.

Next thing you'll know he'll come out beaming and say that he got Germany a good gas deal.

Something along those lines anyhow.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Kim Jong Un stripped him to his skivvies, so

Vlad won't have much left to pick.

[Sneederbunk]

14. And then gave him a wedgie.

[Snellius]

12. Whatever he says, he's hiding the opposite

Most of the time, when Don the Con lies, he's using it to cover up something else. He's said before that he's been preparing for his meeting with President Novichuk all his life. Whatever it is, is probably something big, whether we ever know about it or not.

13. He has low expectations because....

he figures only half his Russian-funded loans will be forgiven (for good time served).

Besides, he won't be allowed to beat Putin in golf.......

Putin expects another year or so of massive chaos and confusion, deflection and lies, along with further tearing apart of any and all Western democratic institutions in order to forgive the rest.

Who knew it would all be so hard?....... ............

[Turbineguy]

15. What a coincidence!

I have low expectations for trump's entire presidency.

Maybe he's found out that Putin will only offer him a slightly less grand palace then the Hermitage after trump defects.

[maxrandb]

16. So do we Donnie Shit for Brains

So do we

[olddad56]

17. We really have to stop refering to him as the President.

He is total fake and it is so disrespectful to most of the former presidents (expect at least GWB, another fake). Can't we just call him, either 45 or the "fake president".

I think it would be only fair if the news organizations who he calls fake news, return the favor.

It would be good for the country.

I'm totally serious about this.

[renegade000]

19. Anyone heard from Snowden recently?

Trump might be getting his head in a box or something...

You know some sort of symbolic 'victory' that ties up loose ends.
