Another example of Trump's stupidity [View all]

Trump met with Putin in Alaska for a few hours and came away with nothing but "progress," whatever that means.

In diplomacy, world leaders almost never hold a summit until their staffs have ironed out the details to be announced at the summit. In other words, it serves no purpose at all for the leaders to meet if they aren't going to announce an agreement. After all, why go to all the logistical trouble if the meeting is pointless?

Trump obviously wanted another distraction from his Epstein files problem. What an idiot. He comes home from Alaska empty-handed only to return to more calls for the release of the Epstein files.

Trump is stupid. He's also an idiot.
