Just a reminder: the last time an American president met with Putin, it was night and day. No ass-kissing, no groveling—Biden stood tall, faced the press, and answered every damn question.

Trump? He tucked tail and ran. Was he too tired? Too embarrassed after sucking up to Putin on the world stage? The press needs to stop being cowards and demand answers.
