22. Yes. It's back in fashion with Republicans

I'm sure when Putin brought it up, Trump forgot, or believed, or fell for the flattery. Whether he follows up on it is a crap shoot. He knows there weren't 7 mail in ballots for anyone.

Probably Putin said those things and knows how to bamboozle Trump. Or maybe Trump just made it up, imagining that quoting Putin would somehow be extra convincing to Americans. Because he thinks we are all as impressed with Putin as he is.

We all knew that this meeting had nothing to do with diplomacy.
