7. Trump is so out of his depth here. He's pathetic, the way he kisses Putin's ass.

"The Donald is uncomfortable with lengthy silences and started filling the void with words. Any words. “We’ve had some very … uh … very good talks,” he began. “We’re going to have a talk now and obviously that will continue.” Putin looked down, trying not to smirk. They both had Russian-to-English translators but the Americans had clearly forgotten to bring an English-to-English translator."

Putin knows exactly how to play him. Before he's done, he will be running this country outright.
