Trump Attempts To Calm Fears: 'I Gave Up NOTHING' To Putin

Source: Talking Points Memo

By Nicole Lafond | July 23, 2018 9:13 am

President Donald Trump on Monday morning attempted to combat reports of growing concerns about what Trump and Vladimir Putin discussed during their closed-door meeting a week ago.

“I gave up NOTHING” to Putin, he tweeted Monday calling reports on verbal agreements between the two parties “Fake News.”

Russia’s ambassador to the United States told the media in Moscow on Wednesday that Trump and Putin had reached several “verbal agreements” on weapons treaties and Syria, but U.S. officials are still scrambling to determine what those agreements might have been.

Putin also told the media over the weekend that he and Trump had discussed a referendum on Ukraine, which the White House swiftly denounced.

No official duties, golf weekends, empty calendar, shouting all night on Twitter...situation seems somewhat critical.

Is anyone minding the government?

Trump came out literally empty-handed.

Putin was laughing and smiling like a boy who just scored a date with the head cheerleader.

Trump was frowning, slouched, and looked like a whipped puppy.

It was easy to see how it all went down.

And Republicans in Congress are responsible for whatever Trump was psychologically bludgeoned into agreeing to.

They have done nothing to stop this tragedy from occurring.

If he had gotten away with it, those people probably would have met with "accidents" and been disappeared.

The pipeline of russian mob/kremlin money to the trump organization, which is solely responsible for keeping it afloat, is still open. Since that's all that matters to him, he "gave up nothing." The country? Well, he wasn't referring to that. It was what he, personally, "gave up."

fashion, his next tweet will be "I gave up EVERYTHING to Putin" How would anyone know, since nobody was allowed to be there, except the translator? Let her testify, unless this is another of his lies. Vlad looked pleased when they exited the meeting. Russian TV is delighted with Vlad, too.

Okay, so prove it. Publish the notes from your meeting with Putin so the American people can see what happened. Next time take the meeting with press available. Mold and mildew grow in dark places, and I can smell them where the "summit" was concerned.

Made extra special) so that little Putin can collect that NOTHING.

If you think Helsinki was a traitor summit, wait until you see the traitor parade and traitor party that seals the deal for traitor Trump.

He stated distrust in our intelligence agencies and refused to list a single bad act by Putin, all while blaming the US...while fucking standing next to Putin!

Nobody accused him of giving something up in that meeting, specifically, so he must have given a lot of things up.

I wonder how many classified facts his deranged brain is able to actually remember?

Hopefully, not too many.
