Trump caught on hot mic saying he thinks Putin ‘wants to make a deal for me – as crazy as it sounds’ (The Independent)

US president whispered that Putin ‘wants to make a deal for me’ before meeting with European leaders in the White House

President Donald Trump signaled that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin “wants to make a deal for me” while quietly speaking with French President Emmanuel Macron shortly before hosting European leaders at the White House on Monday.

While waiting for other world leaders to trickle into the East Room to discuss a security resolution for Ukraine and his recent meeting with Putin, Trump was caught on a hot mic sharing his perspective with Macron.

"I think he wants to make a deal,” Trump said quietly. “I think he wants to make a deal for me. Do you understand? As crazy as it sounds."
